Packing services in Tonbridge
The part of moving everyone underestimates. Hand it over entirely, or just the fiddly rooms — either way it’s proper materials, careful hands, and a label on every box, all listed on a full inventory.
Packing is where a move is quietly won or lost. Do it well and the day runs; do it in a rush the night before and you’re taping mugs into a duvet at midnight. We pack the way that makes the far end easy — everything cushioned, boxed by room, and written down on the inventory.
Full pack or part pack
A full pack means we handle the lot: you go to work, we box the house. A part pack means you keep the jobs you don’t mind — clothes, books, the shed — and give us the ones you dread. The kitchen and anything breakable are the usual candidates, and they’re exactly the things that benefit most from proper cartons and someone who’s done it a thousand times.
Materials and a full inventory
Boxes, tape, paper, bubble wrap, and specialist cartons for pictures, mirrors and wardrobes all come with the job — you’re not left estimating how many boxes a three-bed needs. Everything is labelled by room and listed on a full inventory as it goes in, so nothing goes astray and boxes land where they belong when we unload.
What’s included
- Full or part packing, whichever you choose
- All materials — boxes, wrap, paper and specialist cartons

Packing goes hand in hand with a house move and our fragile & antiques handling, and if your things are heading to Europe, careful packing matters even more.
Packing — common questions
Do I have to have everything packed by you?
Not at all. Plenty of people pack their own clothes and books and hand us the kitchen, the glassware and the awkward bits. Full pack or part pack — whichever leaves you least stressed on the day.
Do you bring the boxes and materials?
Yes — boxes, tape, paper, bubble wrap and specialist cartons for pictures and wardrobes all come as part of a packing job. You don’t need to hunt down materials or guess how many boxes a kitchen takes.
How will I find things at the other end?
Everything is labelled by room and listed on a full inventory as it’s packed, so boxes land in the right room and you can find the kettle without opening ten of them. Fragile items are marked and packed to travel.
Can you pack antiques and valuables?
That’s where careful packing earns its keep, and Tonbridge’s period homes have plenty of both. Glassware, china, mirrors, artwork and antiques get the right cartons and cushioning — see our fragile & antiques service for the detail.
