When planning your move, it’s normal to wonder, “Do packers and movers pack everything?” At ASP Transport & Removals & Storage, we speak to customers every day who want to know what they can expect. Moving house can feel like a big job, but our packing services help you get organised, reduce stress, and protect your belongings from start to finish.
This guide walks you through what packers and movers usually handle, what they may not pack, and how to make sure everything is ready on moving day.
What Do Packers and Movers Usually Pack?
Professional packers are trained to handle nearly everything in your home. Our team knows how to pack each item securely so it travels safely. From wardrobes to wine glasses, we use strong boxes, bubble wrap, and labels to make unpacking easier, too.
You can trust us to take care of:
Furniture
We wrap sofas, beds, chairs, cabinets, and tables to avoid scratches and damage during transport. We also protect corners and delicate parts with padding.
Kitchen Items
Our team uses dish boxes, soft paper, and bubble wrap for your plates, cups, glassware, and utensils. Appliances like kettles, toasters, and blenders are also packed properly.
Clothing and Linens
Clothes, bedding, towels, and curtains go into clean boxes or hanging wardrobe cartons. Everything stays folded and fresh during the move.
Electronics
We protect TVs, computers, sound systems, and gaming consoles with anti-static materials, foam, and strong outer boxes.
Decor and Fragile Items
Delicate items like picture frames, mirrors, and artwork get special treatment. We may use crates or extra wrapping to protect fragile corners.
Our packing materials are high-quality and designed to keep everything safe. Your belongings matter to us, and we pack them as if they were our own.
What Items Might Not Be Packed?
While we pack most household items, some things need special care, extra planning, or must stay with you for safety or legal reasons. It’s important to know what may be excluded.
Hazardous Materials
We won’t pack items that could cause harm or fire. This includes petrol, lighter fluid, paint, cleaning chemicals, and aerosols.
Perishable Goods
Fresh food, frozen items, or houseplants may not be safe to move, especially during long journeys. These are best taken by you or disposed of beforehand.
Valuables and Important Documents
Cash, jewellery, passports, and legal papers should stay with you for peace of mind. We advise keeping these personal items close at hand.
Large Appliances
Some removal teams do not disconnect washing machines, ovens, or fridges. Ask us in advance if you need help with this—we’ll explain what we can do.
Clear communication helps avoid confusion. Let us know early so we can offer the best advice for your move.
How to Prepare for Packing Day
A smooth packing day starts with good planning. The more ready you are, the quicker and safer we can work.
Inventory Your Belongings
Make a list of what’s going and what’s staying. You can also decide which things you’ll pack yourself.
Sort and Declutter
Now is the perfect time to let go of unwanted things. Donate clothes, recycle old items, or sell things you no longer need.
Separate Personal Items
Place items like medicines, chargers, keys, and jewellery in a bag or box you’ll keep with you. Label it clearly.
Tell Us About Fragile Items
If you have antiques, heirlooms, or items needing extra care, let us know. We’ll bring special packing supplies for them.
Working together helps the day go smoothly and keeps your items safe.
Can You Choose Which Items Are Packed?
Yes! You don’t have to choose full packing if you don’t want it. We offer flexible services to match your needs and budget.
Full Packing Service
We handle every item in your home, room by room. This is perfect for busy families or anyone who wants a hands-off experience.
Partial Packing Service
We can just pack certain rooms or items, like the kitchen or fragile pieces. You pack the rest yourself.
Fragile-Only Packing
Some people ask us to pack just their breakables—glassware, ornaments, mirrors, or fine china. We use the right materials to make sure they arrive in one piece.
Choose the level that suits you. You stay in control of your move while we handle the heavy lifting.
Why Our Packing Services Stand Out
We believe packing is about more than just putting things in boxes. It’s about protecting your memories, your investment, and your peace of mind.
Trained Professionals
Our team knows how to pack everything from delicate glass to bulky wardrobes. We use proven techniques to reduce risk.
Top-Quality Materials
We never cut corners. Boxes, tape, wrap, and crates are all designed to last and keep your things secure.
Tailored to Your Needs
No two homes are the same. We create a packing plan that fits your timeline, preferences, and moving goals.
Secure Transport
We don’t just pack—we move your belongings with care. Our vans are clean, padded, and driven by experts.
When you choose us, you get more than a removal firm. You get a trusted team that takes your move personally.
What Else Do We Offer?
Moving involves more than packing. That’s why we provide extra support to help every part of your journey.
Temporary Storage
Not ready to move into your new place? We offer clean, secure storage for days, weeks, or longer. Your items stay safe until you need them.
Packing Materials for Sale
If you want to pack some things yourself, we can supply high-quality boxes, tape, bubble wrap, and more.
Furniture Dismantling and Reassembly
Struggling with a large bed or wardrobe? We can dismantle and rebuild it for you.
Unpacking Support
We can help you unpack once you arrive. We’ll set things in the right rooms and remove empty boxes, saving you time.
