What we can show you for Thatcham
Thatcham access and housing notes
RG18, RG19 housing stock and loading reality, written for Thatcham rather than the county.
Packing Services in Thatcham: what actually matters here
A West Berkshire town on the Kennet east of Newbury, with a small historic centre and large post-war and modern estates north and south of the railway.
The housing stock is Post-war and modern estate housing across the north east and west of the town, older cottages and frontages in the centre, and newer development at Crookham and Colthrop, which decides the tools, protection and crew size we bring to a packing services job.
The railway divides the town and the level crossing and bridge points concentrate traffic at peak times, so we route around them rather than through them. Most estate housing has a drive or an allocated bay; centre properties have short loading windows only. West Berkshire's recycling centres at Newtown Road and Padworth require a registered permit and a booked appointment for every resident visit.
Thatcham jobs are routed across the full RG18 and RG19 area, so Thatcham Central, Thatcham North East and Thatcham West are quoted exactly as the centre of town is, with no outer-area surcharge.
Thatcham is a mid-sized town; the streets around Thatcham Nature Discovery Centre and the Kennet marshes are the ones where we most often check loading arrangements in advance.
What a packing services job includes
Packing is priced two ways so you only buy what you need: per packer per hour — £30 for one, £55 for two, with a two-hour minimum — or as a fixed price by property size, from £180 for a studio or one-bed, £280 for a two-bed and £420 for a three-bed. Materials are charged at cost, a two-bed materials pack starts at £68, and empty cartons are collected free after the move. Unpacking at the new address is charged the same hourly way, with boxes flattened and taken away.
Materials
- Double-wall cartons, tissue paper, bubble wrap and tape supplied and charged at cost
- Wardrobe cartons so hanging clothes travel on the rail
- Purpose-made cartons for pictures, mirrors, TVs and lamps
- Mattress bags and protective covers for soft furnishings
The pack
- Room-by-room packing with a numbered inventory as we go
- Every carton labelled with its room and its contents, not just a room name
- China, glass and stemware individually wrapped and packed on edge rather than stacked flat
- Electronics packed with their cables, and screens boxed upright
- A clearly marked essentials box kept back for the first night
Options
- Fragile-only pack for the kitchen and glassware, from £120, when you are doing the rest yourself
- Full pack the day before the move so loading starts on time
- Unpacking at the new address at £30 per hour, with cartons flattened and removed
- Free collection of empty cartons after you have finished unpacking
What changes the price on a packing services job
- Packing takes longer than people expect. A studio is typically four to six hours for one packer and a family home a full day for two, which is why the fixed prices are set by property size rather than by an optimistic hour count.
- The kitchen is the room that decides the timings — glassware, china and small appliances are slow, careful work, and it is the room most often left to the last hour by self-packers.
- Boxes you packed yourself are still covered for transit, but we cannot verify the contents or how they were wrapped; where a fragile item matters, let us pack it and it is documented on the inventory.
- Materials are at cost, not a profit line, so over-ordering costs you money for no benefit — we would rather bring a realistic quantity and top up than sell you a pallet of cartons.
- We do not pack fuel, aerosols under pressure, paint or gas bottles, and open food and plants are best moved by you in the car.

4.5 ★ from 3,131 Trustpilot reviewsMostafa’s Loqman team were lovely. Mostafa is extremely accommodating. I had a logistically difficult clean (lots of boxes due to moving in) but he managed to instruct carefully how the clean should be carried out. Will definitely call again in the future.
My daughter and her friend employed hello services to move the contents of their flat in Stevenage to their new flat in London. They arrived a little early to ensure they were ready to start at 9am The flat was at the top of the three story block of flats and the three of them… Read in full →
Really pleased with our house move. The guys came on time, loaded everything carefully like a huge jigsaw! Nothing got broken and even though they were working on an hourly rate they were really efficient, not to waste any time. Our only criticism is that we needed a few items disassembled to get on the… Read in full →

Thatcham questions, answered.
How quickly can you book packing services in Thatcham?
Same-week slots are standard in Thatcham, with next-day often available midweek. Month-end tenancy changeovers are the busiest window across Berkshire, so book those a week or two ahead.
Should I pay for packing or do it myself?
Do the wardrobes and the books yourself if you have the time; get the kitchen, the glassware and anything breakable packed properly. A fragile-only pack from £120 buys most of the protection for a fraction of the full-pack price.
How many boxes will I need?
We estimate from the survey and bring what the property size suggests — a two-bed materials pack starts at £68 — then top up if needed. Materials are charged at cost, so you pay for what you actually use.
Do you take the empty boxes away?
Yes. Empty cartons are collected free after the move, and if you book unpacking they are flattened and taken away on the same visit.
