Who Our Packing and Boxes Service Is For

Homeowners

Moving a full house in Enfield can be overwhelming. Our full packing service takes the pressure off, with our team packing every room, labelling boxes clearly and preparing furniture for safe transport. Ideal if you have a busy schedule, a large property, or many fragile items.

Renters

If you're renting in Enfield and moving between flats or houses, we offer partial packing for your breakables and awkward items, or a complete pack if you prefer to hand everything over. We also help protect walls and communal areas when moving boxes in and out.

Landlords

For landlords managing properties around Enfield, we provide efficient pack-up and clear-out support. We can pack and remove remaining tenant belongings (with your instruction), prepare items for storage, and ensure everything is boxed neatly for onward transport or clearance.

Businesses

Our Enfield commercial clients use our office and commercial packing service for relocations, refurbishments and archiving. We provide suitable crates and boxes for files, IT equipment, stock, and sensitive documents, and we label by department or workstation for straightforward set-up at the new premises.

Students

Students moving to or from Enfield benefit from our student packing options. We can supply boxes only, or pack up rooms and shared areas, ensuring fragile electronics, books and personal items are properly protected for shared transport, storage or long-distance moves.

Our Step-by-Step Packing and Moving Process

1. Enquiry & Quote

You contact Enfield Movers with details of your move and packing requirements. We discuss your property size, volume of contents, special items and dates. Based on this, we provide a clear, itemised quotation outlining packing services, materials and any associated removal or storage costs.

2. Survey (Virtual or Onsite)

For larger jobs in Enfield, we arrange a virtual or onsite survey. This allows us to assess access, number of rooms, furniture, and any fragile or specialist pieces. A proper survey ensures we bring the right number of boxes, the right materials and the right size crew on the day.

3. Packing & Preparation

On the agreed day, our trained packing team arrives with all materials. We protect floors where needed, then work systematically through each room. Fragile and high-value items are individually wrapped; boxes are filled securely and labelled by room and contents. Furniture is prepared and protected ready for loading.

4. Loading & Transport

If we are also handling your removal, our crew will load your packed boxes and furniture onto our vehicles, using correct lifting techniques and securing everything inside the van. Our goods in transit insurance covers your belongings while they are being moved between addresses or into storage.

5. Unloading & Placement

At your new property or storage facility, we unload and place boxes into the correct rooms based on the labels. Furniture is positioned as directed and reassembled where agreed. We can also provide an unpacking service on request, helping you to get settled more quickly by unboxing essentials and removing used packing materials.

Transparent Pricing for Packing and Boxes in Enfield

We believe in clear, straightforward pricing. Your quote will detail:

• The cost of labour for packing (hourly or fixed, depending on job size)
• The number and type of boxes supplied
• Additional materials such as bubble wrap, tape and covers
• Any furniture disassembly/reassembly charges
• Removal and transport costs, if included

Pricing depends on the volume of belongings, complexity, and whether we are providing a full or partial packing service. There are no hidden extras: any potential additional costs (for example long carry distances or difficult access in certain Enfield properties) will be discussed at survey stage.

Why Choose Professional Packing Over DIY or Casual Man-and-Van

While it is possible to pack yourself or rely on a casual man-and-van, our experience shows that professional packing significantly reduces the risk of damage and delays. Our trained teams understand how to pack for safe transport, how to protect fragile goods, and how to load vehicles efficiently.

DIY packing often uses supermarket boxes that are not designed for removals, leading to crushed items and unstable stacks. Casual operators may not provide goods in transit insurance or proper materials, leaving you exposed if something goes wrong. With Enfield Movers, you benefit from professional standards, reliable scheduling and accountable service.

Insurance and Professional Standards

As an established Enfield removals company, we work to recognised industry standards and take your peace of mind seriously. Our services include:

• Goods in transit insurance covering your belongings while being moved
• Public liability cover for work carried out on your premises
• Trained and experienced packing and removals teams
• Proper risk assessments and safe working practices

We treat your home or business as we would our own, with careful handling and respectful conduct throughout the job.

Care, Protection and Sustainability

Protecting your belongings starts with the right materials and methods. We use sturdy boxes, adequate cushioning and correct stacking, and we take care to protect doorways, staircases and floors, especially in period Enfield properties and busy office buildings.

We are also mindful of environmental impact. Where possible, we:

• Reuse sturdy boxes for multiple moves
• Recycle cardboard and paper waste
• Offer the option to collect used boxes after your move

This approach reduces waste without compromising on safety or presentation.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does professional packing and boxes cost in Enfield?

The cost depends on the size of your property, how much you need packed, and whether you choose a full or partial service. Smaller flats may only require a few hours of labour plus materials, while larger homes and offices take longer and need more boxes. After a brief discussion or survey, we provide a clear, written quotation outlining labour, materials and any associated removal costs. There are no hidden extras, and we are happy to tailor the service to suit your budget and priorities.

Can you provide same-day or urgent packing services?

Where our schedule allows, we can assist with same-day or short-notice packing in Enfield. Availability depends on existing bookings, the size of the job and the time of year, as peak moving periods fill up quickly. If you have an urgent move, contact us as soon as possible with your details. We will advise immediately whether we can accommodate the request, suggest practical options, and, if required, focus on priority areas such as fragile items, kitchens and essential rooms.

Are my belongings insured while you are packing and moving them?

Yes. Enfield Movers provides goods in transit insurance for your belongings while they are being moved and public liability cover for work carried out at your property. This cover applies when our trained team has packed and handled your items using our materials and methods. We will explain the main terms and limits in your quotation and are happy to answer specific questions. For particularly high-value items, we may recommend noting them separately or arranging additional cover if needed.

What exactly is included in your packing and boxes service?

Our standard service includes supply of quality boxes and packing materials, professional packing of specified rooms or the whole property, clear labelling, and preparation of items for loading. We can also include dismantling and protecting furniture, packing fragile items only, or providing an unpacking service at your new address. Everything to be included will be listed on your quotation, so you know exactly what we are responsible for. If your needs change before the move, we can usually adjust the level of service to suit.

How is your service different from a man-and-van?

A man-and-van may suit very small, simple moves, but our service is structured, insured and carried out by professional crews. We provide proper surveys, high-quality packing materials, trained staff, and documented procedures to protect your belongings. Our vehicles and equipment are designed for removals, and we offer full support from initial planning through to placement of boxes at your new address. In short, we offer accountability, reliability and standards that casual services typically cannot match.

How far in advance should I book packing and boxes in Enfield?

Ideally, you should book as soon as you have a likely moving date, particularly during busy periods such as summer and month-ends. For most moves, two to four weeks' notice gives us time to carry out any survey, confirm your requirements, and reserve the right size team and materials. However, we regularly help customers on shorter notice where our schedule allows. Even if your date is not fully confirmed, it is worth getting in touch early so we can pencil you in and offer guidance.
