What We Cannot Pack

For safety and insurance reasons, some items are excluded from our packing service:

• Flammable or hazardous materials (fuel, gas bottles, paint thinners, chemicals)
• Perishable food and open containers
• Illegal items or substances
• Cash, important documents, jewellery or high-value personal items – these are best kept with you
• Animals or live plants for long-distance or heated moves

If you are unsure about any item, we will happily advise during your survey.

Our Step-by-Step Packing and Moving Process

1. Enquiry & Quote

Contact Man with Van Hoxton by phone or online and tell us what you need packed, where you are moving from and to, and your preferred dates. We provide a clear, no-obligation quotation explaining what is included, the materials we will supply, and any options such as partial or full packing.

2. Survey – Virtual or Onsite

For anything more than a very small move, we recommend a survey. This can be done via video call or an in-person visit in Hoxton. We assess the volume of belongings, access to the property, any fragile or specialist items, and discuss your priorities, budget and timescales. This allows us to quote accurately and plan the packing schedule.

3. Packing & Preparation

On the agreed day, our professional team arrives with all required packing materials. We start with non-essential items, then move room by room. Fragile items are wrapped and cushioned, furniture is protected with covers, and boxes are labelled clearly. If you choose a partial packing service, we focus on the most time-consuming or delicate areas, leaving you to handle the rest.

4. Loading & Transport

Once everything is packed and ready, we load your boxes and furniture into our vehicles. Items are secured to prevent movement in transit. Our fully insured vans are kept clean and well-maintained, and our drivers know Hoxton’s streets, parking restrictions and access issues, helping avoid delays.

5. Unloading & Placement

At your new address, we unload items into the correct rooms according to your labels and instructions. Where agreed, we can help with basic reassembly of certain furniture and placement of heavier pieces. Empty boxes can be collected for reuse or recycling by arrangement.

Transparent Pricing for Packing and Boxes in Hoxton

We believe in clear, upfront pricing. Our quotes are based on:

• Volume of items to be packed
• Type and quantity of boxes and materials required
• Level of packing service (full, partial or materials only)
• Access conditions and any special handling requirements
• Distance to your new property if combined with transport

We break down labour and materials so you can see exactly what you are paying for. There are no hidden charges for basic packing supplies or standard insurance cover; any potential extras are discussed in advance.

Why Use Professional Packers Instead of Doing It Yourself?

Many people underestimate how long packing takes and how easy it is to under-protect items. Using a professional packing service brings several advantages:

• Correct box sizes and packing methods for different items
• Significantly reduced risk of damage or breakage
• Faster preparation, often completed in a day or less for average homes
• Less physical strain and stress for you
• Better organisation and clearer labelling at the destination

Compared with a casual man-and-van, our team is trained, insured and accountable. We follow professional standards, use appropriate materials, and treat your belongings as if they were our own.

Insurance and Professional Standards

Man with Van Hoxton operates to high standards of safety and care. We provide:

• Goods in transit insurance to cover your belongings while they are being moved
• Public liability cover for work carried out in your property and communal areas
• Trained moving teams who understand proper lifting, packing and handling techniques

We are happy to explain the scope of cover and any limits before you book, so you have a clear understanding of protection for your possessions.

Care, Protection and Sustainability

We place strong emphasis on caring for both your belongings and the environment:

• Use of high-quality, reusable protective materials
• Option to collect boxes after your move for reuse where condition allows
• Recycling of damaged cardboard and packing paper
• Careful stacking and strapping in vehicles to minimise risk of damage

Our approach aims to balance robust protection with responsible use of materials, helping reduce waste without compromising safety.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does your packing and boxes service cost?

Costs depend on the volume of items, level of service and materials required. For smaller flats, packing may be a modest add-on to your removal, while larger homes and offices require more time and boxes. We price transparently, separating labour and materials so you can see what you are paying for. The best way to get an accurate figure is to request a survey or provide a brief inventory, after which we will give you a clear, written quotation with no obligation.

Can you offer same-day or urgent packing in Hoxton?

Where our schedule allows, we can provide same-day or short-notice packing and boxes in Hoxton. Urgent jobs are handled by prioritising essential areas first, such as kitchens, fragile items and key furniture. Availability depends on how busy we are, so contacting us as early as possible is important. Even if we cannot offer full packing at very short notice, we can often supply materials and partial help to get you ready in time for your move.

Are my belongings insured while being packed and moved?

Yes. Our service includes goods in transit insurance covering your belongings while they are in our care and being transported. We also hold public liability cover for work at your property. Insurance has limits and conditions, so we always explain what is and is not covered, and may ask you to highlight particularly valuable or unusual items in advance. For extremely high-value possessions, we may recommend additional specialist cover or specific handling arrangements.

What exactly is included in a packing and boxes service?

Our standard service includes supply of appropriate boxes and materials, professional packing of agreed items, labelling, and preparation for safe loading. We can cover the entire property or focus on certain rooms, such as kitchens and fragile items, depending on your budget. We do not usually pack cash, important documents or hazardous materials, and we will make this clear during your booking. If required, we can combine packing with loading, transport and unloading for a complete door-to-door move.

How is this different from a basic man-and-van service?

A casual man-and-van typically provides transport only, leaving you to source boxes and pack everything yourself. Our service is carried out by trained staff using proper packing methods and quality materials, with insurance in place. We plan the job in advance, label boxes systematically and handle fragile and bulky items correctly. This reduces the risk of damage, speeds up the move, and gives you a single, accountable company responsible for both packing and transport.

How far in advance should I book packing and boxes?

Ideally, you should book at least one to two weeks before your move, particularly if you are relocating at busy times such as month-end or weekends. This allows us to carry out a survey, order any specialist materials and schedule a packing day that suits you. However, we understand that moves are not always planned that far ahead, so we will always try to accommodate shorter notice where possible. The earlier you get in touch, the more flexibility we can offer.
