What we can show you for Chipping Ongar
Here is what our packing services work around Chipping Ongar looks like in practice.
Chipping Ongar access and housing notes
CM5 housing stock and loading reality, written for Chipping Ongar rather than the county.
Packing Services in Chipping Ongar: what actually matters here
An Epping Forest district market town on the Roding, with a Norman castle mound and a long, narrow medieval High Street.
The housing stock is Timber-framed and Georgian High Street frontages with post-war and modern estates behind at Shelley and Marden Ash, which decides the tools, protection and crew size we bring to a packing services job.
The High Street is a narrow through-route with short loading bays and no rear access for many frontages; CM5 is in Epping Forest district and outside the ULEZ.
We survey Chipping Ongar packing services work rather than quoting from bedroom count, because volume and access differ street by street here.
Our Chipping Ongar footprint runs across CM5 and takes in Chipping Ongar, Marden Ash, Shelley, High Ongar and Fyfield, all on the same packing services pricing.
Because the same Essex team runs Chipping Ongar alongside epping, north-weald and brentwood, we can often add a packing services job to an existing day rather than sending a van out on its own.
As a smaller town built around Ongar Castle mound and the Epping Ongar Railway, Chipping Ongar has a mix of approach roads and loading points, so we confirm parking and carry distance when you book rather than assuming.
We also work Stanford Rivers and Bobbingworth as part of the Chipping Ongar area, with no difference in how the packing services quote is built.
Chipping Ongar to harlow and ingatestone is a run the team does regularly, and a packing services across that route is quoted as a single job.
A CM5 postcode tells us the area; the house number tells us the access, and it is the access that prices the packing services.
For routing we hold Chipping Ongar as its named parts — Chipping Ongar (CM5), Marden Ash (CM5) and Shelley (CM5) — so the crew knows the approach before the van leaves.
7 named areas make up our Chipping Ongar coverage. Chipping Ongar and Bobbingworth are the outer markers, CM5 the postcode span.
We confirm the Chipping Ongar slot in writing with a time window, and the crew calls from epping or north-weald when they set off.
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
- 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.
- 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.

About Chipping Ongar
Chipping Ongar is a small Epping Forest district market town on the Roding, with a Norman castle mound behind a long, narrow medieval High Street. Those frontages are timber-framed and Georgian, many without rear access, and the High Street doubles as the through-route — so loading windows are short and town-centre jobs are booked for the first slot of the day with a smaller van.
Behind the High Street the housing turns post-war and modern at Marden Ash and Shelley, where driveways make loading routine. On charging: CM5 is in Epping Forest district, outside Greater London and outside the ULEZ, so no daily charge applies to work here, though a job continuing into a London borough does enter the zone and gets a compliant van. Essex County Council runs the recycling centres on booking with permits for vans and trailers; a clearance we handle leaves on our own upper-tier licence with a transfer note, so there is nothing for you to book.
Other moving services in Chipping Ongar
Chipping Ongar questions, answered.
How much does packing services cost in Chipping Ongar?
Packing Services in Chipping Ongar (CM5) starts from £45 per hour. The final figure is fixed before booking and reflects the size of the property, the floor level and the access — which in Chipping Ongar usually means the High Street is a narrow through-route with short loading bays and no rear access for many frontages; CM5 is in Epping Forest district and outside the ULEZ.
Do you cover the whole of Chipping Ongar?
Yes — every CM5 street, plus the surrounding Essex towns. Crews are routed within the county rather than dispatched from London, so short-notice slots are realistic.
Are you insured for packing services work?
We carry £1m public liability cover and hold Environment Agency waste carrier licence CBDU300454. Certificates are available on request and the details are published on our trust and credentials page.
How quickly can you book packing services in Chipping Ongar?
Same-week slots are standard in Chipping Ongar, with next-day often available midweek. Month-end tenancy changeovers are the busiest window across Essex, 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.
