Moving house can be one of life’s most stressful experiences. There’s so much to do—sorting through your belongings, packing everything securely, organising transport, and then unpacking it all at your new place. It’s time-consuming and overwhelming, especially if you’re working, looking after children, or trying to manage the move on your own.
That’s where professional packing and unpacking services come in. At Going Places Removals, we’re here to take the pressure off. Our experienced team can handle the whole process for you, or just the parts you don’t want to deal with. Let us explain exactly what packing and unpacking services involve, how they work, and why they could be the best decision you make during your move.
Packing and unpacking services are designed to help you with the physical process of moving your belongings from one location to another. They are typically offered by removal companies, like Going Places Removals, who have the skills and materials to do the job properly.

Here’s what’s usually included:
We pack every item in your home—from kitchen plates and glassware to books, clothes, and ornaments. Our team brings all the necessary packing supplies and uses careful techniques to protect your belongings during the move.
If you’d prefer to pack some items yourself, we can just take care of the fragile or bulky things. This option works well if you want to save money while still protecting your most valuable possessions.
After transport, we don’t just leave you with stacks of boxes. Our unpacking service includes carefully unboxing your items and placing them where you want them. We can even help organise your kitchen cupboards, wardrobes, or home office.
Some items need extra attention. Whether it’s artwork, antique mirrors, or expensive electronics, we use specialist packaging and techniques to ensure everything arrives in one piece.
We supply everything: strong cardboard boxes, packing paper, bubble wrap, tape, and protective furniture covers. You don’t need to source anything yourself.
Packing takes ages, especially if you’re not sure how to do it efficiently. Our team can pack up your entire house in just a day or two, saving you from weeks of evening and weekend stress.
Incorrect packing is one of the main causes of damage during moves. Our trained professionals know how to wrap, pad, and box your items securely. Whether it’s wine glasses or garden tools, they’ll be transported safely.
Moving is emotional and exhausting. By handing over the packing and unpacking to professionals, you can breathe easier and focus on other things, like saying goodbye to your old home or settling into your new one.
We don’t just throw things in random boxes. We label every box clearly and group items logically, making the unpacking process quicker and more manageable when you arrive.
Imagine arriving at your new home and having most of your belongings already unpacked and set up. No more living out of boxes for weeks. Our team helps you feel at home right away.
Packing and unpacking services aren’t just for people with big houses or lots of things. They’re useful for:
If you’re working full-time or running a business, you might not have the time to pack up your home. We’ll do it for you, so you don’t have to take time off work.
Children make everything more complicated. Instead of juggling childcare and bubble wrap, let our team step in and take care of the packing.
Moving in later life can be physically demanding. We offer a gentle, respectful service to help seniors move with minimal effort.
Lifting boxes and bending over to pack things can be hard if you have mobility issues or health concerns. We’ll handle it all safely for you.
Let’s face it—most people dislike packing. If it’s not your thing, that’s okay. It’s definitely ours!
We start by visiting your home (or scheduling a video call) to assess how many items you have and what materials we’ll need. You’ll get a clear quote based on your specific needs.
On the agreed date, our team arrives with everything required. We work quickly but carefully, packing each room methodically and making sure fragile items are properly protected.
We label every box clearly and can create an inventory for easy reference. This is especially helpful if your belongings are going into storage.

Once packed, your items are loaded securely onto our removals van and transported to your new home or storage unit.
At the new location, we unpack your belongings and can even help with placing furniture, hanging clothes, or sorting kitchen items. We remove all empty boxes and packaging, leaving your home tidy.
