Packing Options to Suit Your Move

Full Packing Service

Our team packs every room in your home, from kitchen cupboards and wardrobes to loft items and garden equipment. All boxes are clearly labelled by room so unloading and unpacking at your new property is organised and straightforward. This option is best for anyone who wants to hand the whole job over and arrive at a new home ready to unpack.

Part Packing Service

You pack the everyday items and our team handles the rest. Part packing works well for families who want to reduce the time and effort involved without paying for a full pack. You decide which rooms or item types to tackle yourself and our team takes care of everything else.

Fragile and Specialist Packing

For high-value, fragile or oversized items, our team uses specialist materials and methods to ensure safe transit. This includes glassware, crockery, lamps, televisions, artwork, mirrors and antiques. Bespoke timber crates are available for particularly large or valuable pieces.

How Our Packing Service Works

1. Survey and quote — We visit your property to assess volume, any specialist items and your packing requirements. A written quote follows with no obligation.

2. Packing day — Our team arrives fully equipped. We work room by room, packing and labelling each box systematically so nothing gets mixed up.

3. Loading and transport — Packed boxes are loaded safely onto our vehicles using protective equipment. Floor protection is laid throughout your home before any work begins.

4. Delivery and unpacking — At your new property, boxes are placed in the correct rooms based on labels. If you have booked an unpacking service, our team unpacks and removes all materials before leaving.

For moves with a gap between properties, storage is available at our 13,000 sq ft Ashford warehouse from £13.80 per week including VAT.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. This is the third time over the years that we have used Stranks. David quoted, advised and liaised with us from the start to guide us through the process.

This move itself was annoyingly prolonged due to a long key wait. We got the keys and access at 4pm in the end. At every stage of the move, Shane, Dan, Armond, John and then the other two (Joe? and another colleague) were professional,  friendly and extremely hard working. They even kept their efforts up when they found that we had only gone and bought a town house! The boxes destined for 'bed 1' were like the hot potatoes that no-one wanted to end up with! Still, everything got moved to the right rooms without an issue.

We wanted to review and pass on our thanks to those that made a long moving experience, so much more bearable. We would totally recommend Stranks to anyone in need of removal services.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I’d give 10 stars to the team that helped us relocate from Kent to Cornwall. They were competent, capable, professional, accommodating, friendly and very easy to work with. I hope not to have to make such a move again but I wouldn’t hesitate in using Stranks and highly recommend their services. They helped make our move a stress free experience and worth every penny we spent and more.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Long established family business, they listen to what you need and if at all possible oblige. Sensible rates and knowledgeable caring workers. Happy to advise on the best way to get your needs sorted even recommending local man and van companies if the job is really too small for them.
