Packing Services in Gosport: what actually matters here
A peninsula town on the western side of Portsmouth Harbour, shaped by naval and defence employment, with dense Victorian terraces near the waterfront and large post-war estates inland at Rowner and Bridgemary.
The housing stock is Victorian terraces through Forton, Brockhurst and the streets behind the High Street; Georgian and Regency property at Alverstoke; substantial post-war and 1960s estate housing at Rowner and Bridgemary; waterfront apartment development at Haslar and the ferry end of the peninsula; and bungalows and post-war semis through Lee-on-the-Solent and Elson, which decides the tools, protection and crew size we bring to a packing services job.
Gosport is a peninsula and that is the single most important fact when planning a job here. There is one road in and out at the top, the ferry carries foot passengers only, and a mistimed arrival across the Fareham approach costs more than the job. The terraces at Forton, Brockhurst and Hardway are narrow with on-street-only parking, the waterfront blocks at Haslar and the ferry end have permit decks and height barriers, and the Rowner and Bridgemary estates are the easy part with garage courts, verges and turning space. Gosport Borough Council sets parking, collections and bulky waste; disposal is through Hampshire County Council's permit-controlled sites, which take no trade waste.
Alverstoke, Forton, Brockhurst and Hardway all sit inside the Gosport round. Whichever of PO12 and PO13 your address falls in, the packing services quote is built the same way.
As a mid-sized town built around The Royal Navy Submarine Museum and Haslar Marina on the harbour's western shore, Gosport has a mix of approach roads and loading points, so we confirm parking and carry distance when you book rather than assuming.
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
- 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.
- 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.

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.

My movers were great! So fast and organised. Both of them were lovely so if I need to move again, I will definitely use the same guys. At one point my husband and I were nervous about all our stuff fitting in a Luton van, but Abdulla managed it all as well as keeping us… Read in full →

Gosport questions, answered.
How quickly can you book packing services in Gosport?
Same-week slots are standard in Gosport, with next-day often available midweek. Month-end tenancy changeovers are the busiest window across Hampshire, 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.
