At Tower Hill Removals, our dedicated Packing and Boxes service in London is designed to take the stress, risk and hassle out of getting ready for move day. Whether you need a full packing service, just high‑quality boxes, or a mix of both, we provide professional materials and experienced packers to keep your belongings safe from door to door.
Our packing service is simple: we supply the right boxes, packing paper, bubble wrap and tape, then our trained team carefully wrap, pack and label your belongings ready for transport. We can pack everything in your property or focus on specific rooms or fragile items only. If you prefer to pack yourself, we can just supply strong, purpose-made removal boxes and materials, delivered to your door.
Everything is planned around your moving date so that you are fully prepared, with no last‑minute panic or unsafe, overfilled boxes.
Based in London, Tower Hill Removals understands the realities of moving in the city: tight stairwells, parking restrictions, lift bookings and busy streets. Our crews know how to pack for short city moves as well as longer UK relocations, ensuring your goods are well protected for bumps, stacking and handling at both ends.
Our local knowledge means we can advise exactly how many boxes you are likely to need and when it is worth investing in professional packing for specific items, such as framed art, antiques or high‑value electronics.
If you are selling your home, we can declutter and pack in stages so your property is ready for viewings and then for move day. From loft contents to garden tools, we make sure each room is neatly and clearly boxed.
Whether you are moving between rented flats or into your first home, we help you avoid damage charges by protecting walls, floors and furniture as we pack. We can pack everything the day before or on the morning of your move, depending on access and keys.
For furnished lets, we provide a reliable packing and boxing solution when you need to clear or refresh a property. We can pack kitchen equipment, soft furnishings and decor, clearly labelling each box for storage or re‑use.
From small offices to retail units, we offer organised packing of files, IT equipment, stock and furniture. Our professional team uses a clear labelling system so your staff can pick up work quickly at the new premises.
Students often need a simple, cost‑effective solution for term‑time moves. We supply affordable box bundles and can provide part‑packing for fragile items like laptops, monitors and musical instruments, making end‑of‑term moves far easier.
If you are unsure about a particular item, please ask – we will provide clear guidance so everything is handled correctly and safely.
You contact us with basic details: the size of your property, move date, and whether you require full, partial or fragile‑only packing. We then provide a clear, no‑obligation quote outlining the packing options, box quantities and any extra services such as dismantling or storage.
For larger moves or where there are access considerations, we arrange a virtual or onsite survey. This allows us to assess the volume of goods, identify fragile or unusual items, and calculate how many boxes and packers are needed. It also gives you the chance to ask questions and agree timings.
On the agreed day, our trained packing team arrives with all boxes and materials. We protect surfaces, then pack room by room, wrapping fragile items individually and labelling every box clearly with its destination room and contents. Furniture is covered and, where agreed, carefully dismantled and the fixings bagged and labelled.
Once packing is complete, the removals crew loads your boxes and furniture onto our vehicles, using appropriate stacking methods to avoid crushing and movement in transit. Your goods are covered by goods in transit insurance while on our vehicles, giving you additional peace of mind.
At your new property, we unload and place boxes into the correct rooms according to their labels. Furniture is reassembled where agreed and positioned as requested. We remove any heavy packing materials, leaving you with a more organised space to unpack at your own pace.
We believe in clear, upfront pricing. Costs are based on three main factors:
We itemise materials and labour separately so you can see exactly what you are paying for. There are no hidden charges for standard tape, paper or bubble wrap used as part of an agreed packing service. For customers on a tighter budget, we can suggest a hybrid approach, where you pack most items and we focus just on the fragile or time‑consuming areas.
Packing yourself often takes far longer than expected, and using supermarket boxes or reused cartons can lead to breakages. Our professional packers are trained in best‑practice techniques, using industry‑standard materials designed to withstand stacking and transport.
Compared with a casual man‑and‑van, a professional packing service provides consistent quality, full planning, insurance cover and accountability. Boxes are correctly weighted, labelled and sealed, which reduces the risk of injury, damage and confusion at the new property. Ultimately, you save time, reduce stress and significantly lower the chance of costly accidents.
Tower Hill Removals is a fully insured removals company. Your belongings are protected by goods in transit insurance while they are on our vehicles, and we carry public liability cover for work in and around your properties.
Our staff are directly employed and trained in safe lifting, correct packing methods and customer care. We follow recognised industry standards for handling fragile items, securing loads and protecting both your belongings and your property. If you need higher‑value cover for particular items, we can discuss specialist insurance in advance.
We treat your belongings as if they were our own. Delicate pieces are wrapped individually, furniture is covered, and corners and high‑traffic areas are protected where necessary. We use high‑quality double‑walled boxes to prevent collapse and damage.
We are also committed to a more sustainable way of working. Wherever possible, we reuse strong, clean cartons, offer box collection after your move, and encourage recycling of materials. On request, we can provide reusable plastic crates for certain types of office and archive moves, reducing single‑use packaging.
For full home moves, we often provide a complete packing service the day before the move. This allows you to continue living normally until close to the moving date, with minimal disruption. Kitchens, ornaments, wardrobes and loft contents are all carefully boxed and ready to go.
In commercial moves, time is critical. Our organised packing process ensures files, IT equipment and stock are packed methodically, reducing downtime. We work outside normal hours where needed to keep your business running.
When you need to move quickly, our packing service can be the difference between a chaotic, stressful move and a controlled one. Subject to availability, we can organise a team to pack at short notice, prioritising essential areas and fragile items so that everything travels safely, even with limited preparation time.
Costs vary depending on the size of your property, how much there is to pack and whether you choose full, partial or fragile‑only packing. We typically combine a labour charge for our packers with the cost of boxes and materials used. Before you commit, we provide a detailed written quote so you can see exactly what is included. For smaller moves or tighter budgets, we can simply supply boxes and materials, or you can mix self‑packing with professional packing for key areas.
Where our schedule allows, we can provide urgent or short‑notice packing support in London. Availability will depend on how many packers and vehicles are already booked, so the sooner you contact us, the better. For very urgent moves, we may focus on essential rooms and fragile items first, then work through remaining areas as time permits. We will always be honest about what is realistic within the time and budget you have, so expectations are clear from the start.
Yes. While your goods are on our vehicles, they are covered by our goods in transit insurance. We also hold public liability cover for work in and around your property. As with any policy, certain exclusions and limits apply, which we are happy to explain in plain language before you book. For particularly high‑value items, we may recommend additional cover or specialist packing solutions, and we can work with you to make sure everything is appropriately protected.
Our service can be tailored, but typically includes supply of strong removal boxes, packing paper, bubble wrap and tape, plus the labour of our trained packers to wrap, pack and label your belongings. We protect furniture with covers or blankets and can dismantle and reassemble certain items by prior agreement. At delivery, we place boxes in the correct rooms. We do not usually unpack into cupboards, but this can sometimes be arranged. Hazardous items, perishables and valuables such as jewellery are excluded from packing.
A casual man‑and‑van typically offers transport only, with limited or no help with packing, weaker boxes and little formal protection if things go wrong. Tower Hill Removals provides a structured service with professional materials, trained packers, clear labelling, and documented insurance cover. We plan the job in advance, conduct surveys where needed and take responsibility for protecting both your belongings and your property. For many customers, the extra care and reduced risk more than justify the difference in cost.
Ideally, you should book as soon as your move date is likely, particularly during busy periods such as month‑end and school holidays. Two to four weeks’ notice usually gives us plenty of time to arrange materials, surveys and packing days. However, we regularly accommodate shorter notice, and for boxes‑only supply we can often deliver much sooner. Even if your dates are not confirmed, it is worth speaking to us early so we can pencil you in and discuss the best plan.
