At Removals Switzerland, we provide a complete packing and boxes service in London designed to protect your belongings and make moving day straightforward. As an experienced removals company, we know that careful packing is what separates a smooth move from a stressful one. Our trained team, quality materials and organised process ensure your items arrive safely, ready to unpack.
Our packing and boxes service covers everything from supplying sturdy cartons to fully wrapping and preparing your belongings for transport. Whether you choose a full packing service, part packing service or packing materials only, we work methodically and with care.
We use high‑quality boxes, wrapping paper and protective materials, and we label everything clearly so you know exactly what is in each box and where it should go in your new property. The aim is simple: minimise damage, save you time, and make unpacking as easy as possible.
Operating daily across London, we understand the challenges of packing for moves in busy streets, flats with tight stairwells and properties with limited access. We plan your packing around parking restrictions, lift access and building rules, coordinating with your moving schedule and any building management requirements.
Our local knowledge means we can advise realistically on timings, box quantities and the level of packing support you’ll need. We work across all London boroughs, from central postcodes to outer suburbs, adapting our service to your property type and requirements.
If you are moving house, we can handle everything from fragile glassware to loft contents. Many homeowners choose our full packing service so they can focus on contracts, schools and other priorities while we carefully prepare each room.
Renters often face tight turnaround times between properties. Our flexible part packing service allows you to pack some things yourself while we take care of the awkward, heavy or fragile items, helping you move out on schedule and leave the property in good condition.
Landlords use our service when preparing furnished properties between tenancies, arranging for us to pack, store or relocate furniture and household items. We can also supply boxes and packing materials for tenants if required.
For offices and commercial premises, we provide organised office packing, including IT equipment, files, stock and furniture. We label and list boxes by department or area so you can get back to work quickly after the move.
Students moving between halls and private accommodation often have limited time and transport. We can provide student packing kits and a simple packing and collection service, ideal for term-time or end-of-year moves.
For safety and insurance reasons, some items cannot be packed or transported:
If you are unsure about a particular item, we will gladly advise before packing day.
You contact us with your moving details, including dates, property size and locations. Based on the information you provide, we offer an initial estimate for packing and boxes, and discuss the level of service you need – from materials only to full packing.
We arrange a short virtual or onsite survey to assess the volume of items, access, and any fragile or unusual pieces that need special attention. This allows us to confirm box quantities, packing time and the number of team members required, and to provide a clear written quotation.
On the agreed day, our trained packing team arrives with all materials. We protect surfaces where needed, then work through the property room by room. Fragile and high‑risk items are wrapped carefully, boxes are labelled with contents and destination room, and an overview of packed items is maintained so you can find essentials quickly.
Once packed, our removals team loads everything onto our vehicles, using protective blankets, ties and specialist equipment. As a professional company, we balance the load carefully and secure your belongings for safe transport, whether you are moving locally in London or further afield.
At your new address, we unload and place boxes and furniture in the correct rooms, following the labelling and your instructions. We can also offer unpacking services on request, helping to remove packaging, set up key areas and take away used materials for recycling.
We believe in clear, straightforward pricing. Costs are based on:
We provide a written quotation detailing what is included, the number of packers, materials supplied and any optional extras. There are no hidden extras for standard packing work; any potential additional costs are explained in advance so you can plan your budget with confidence.
While packing yourself or using a casual man-and-van may seem cheaper, it often leads to rushed packing, damaged items and a far more stressful move. Our professional teams use correct techniques, suitable materials and proven systems to reduce breakages and save you time.
With a man-and-van, you are usually responsible for sourcing boxes, packing, and any losses or damage that occur. With us, your belongings are packed by trained staff, protected by appropriate insurance, and supported by a structured process from enquiry to unloading.
Removals Switzerland operates to professional standards to protect you and your belongings at every stage.
We work methodically, respect your property, and ensure that our team members follow safe working practices at all times.
We treat your belongings with the same care we would give our own. Furniture is wrapped and protected, fragile items are carefully cushioned, and we avoid over‑loading boxes. Floors, banisters and doors can be protected where required.
Sustainability matters to us. We favour recyclable materials, offer reusable crates for some moves and can collect used boxes for re‑use or recycling where practical. By right‑sizing boxes and packing efficiently, we reduce waste and help minimise the overall environmental impact of your move.
For families and individuals moving house, we often provide a full packing service over one or two days before moving. This reduces disruption and ensures you are fully prepared when the removal lorry arrives.
Businesses use us to pack files, IT and office contents in a structured way, often outside normal working hours. Clearly labelled crates and boxes help teams get back to work quickly in the new location.
When you need to move quickly due to a change in circumstances or a short completion date, our packing and boxes service can be scheduled at short notice, subject to availability. We deploy a suitably sized team to get you ready in time, reducing the risk of last‑minute damage or delays.
Costs depend on the size of your property, how much you want us to pack and whether you need a full or part packing service. After a short survey, we provide a clear written quotation covering labour, materials and any optional extras. Materials-only orders are priced per box and packing item, while full packing is usually charged as a fixed price based on time and volume. There are no hidden fees for standard work, and we will explain any potential additional costs before you book.
We can often help with same-day or urgent packing in London, depending on our schedule and the size of the job. If you are working to a tight deadline, contact us as early as possible and explain your timescales. We will check availability, advise what is realistic in the time you have, and, where possible, allocate an appropriately sized team to complete the packing before your removal or handover. While we cannot guarantee every urgent request, we will always do our best to accommodate you.
When we carry out the packing and provide the boxes, your belongings are covered by our goods in transit insurance, subject to our terms and conditions. This protects items while they are being moved in our vehicles. We also hold public liability cover for work at your property. We will explain the cover limits and any exclusions before you book. If you pack items yourself, some may be covered differently, so it is worth discussing your plans with us to ensure you have the right protection in place.
Our service can include supplying all packing materials (boxes, tape, paper, bubble wrap), full or part packing of your belongings, clear labelling of boxes, and coordination with your move. We can also provide furniture wrapping, dismantling and reassembly where agreed. Some customers choose a materials-only option, while others opt for full packing and optional unpacking at the new address. We tailor what is included to your needs and confirm everything in writing before work begins.
A casual man-and-van usually provides basic transport only, leaving you to source boxes, pack everything, and accept most of the risk if items are damaged. By contrast, we offer a structured, professional service with trained staff, appropriate insurance, quality materials and a clear process from survey to delivery. We take responsibility for properly packing and protecting your belongings and coordinating timings, which significantly reduces stress and the likelihood of breakages during the move.
Ideally, you should book at least two to four weeks before your move, especially during busy periods such as month-end and school holidays. This allows time for a survey, quotation and scheduling of our packing team. However, we understand that completion dates and tenancy timings can change at short notice. If your move is sooner, contact us as early as you can and we will check availability and outline the options. The earlier you reserve your dates, the more flexibility we will have to tailor the service.
