What we can show you for Hertford
Hertford access and housing notes
SG13, SG14 housing stock and loading reality, written for Hertford rather than the county.
Packing Services in Hertford: what actually matters here
The county town, set where four rivers meet, with a Norman castle, a compact Georgian centre and Victorian terraces climbing the valley sides toward Bengeo and Port Hill.
The housing stock is Georgian townhouses and timber-framed frontages in the centre, Victorian terraces at Bengeo and Port Hill, and modern riverside apartments at Hertford Lock, which decides the tools, protection and crew size we bring to a packing services job.
The valley streets are steep and narrow with a one-way system through the centre, and Bengeo's terraces have no off-street parking, so we position the van uphill where the road allows it and keep carry distances short with a shuttle when the lane will not take a Luton.
Hertford is quoted as a whole: Bengeo, Port Hill, Hertford Heath, Sele Farm and Foxholes are on the same packing services rate as anywhere else inside SG13 and SG14.
Hertford is a mid-sized town, and addresses around Hertford Castle and the confluence of the Lea, Beane, Rib and Mimram in particular tend to need the access details confirmed before the van is loaded — we ask about that at quote stage, not on the day.
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.
Reviews from Hertford customers
4.5 ★ from 3,131 Trustpilot reviewsSulltan and Adam assembled some furniture for me extremely professionally. They were polite and efficient and the service was very easy to use, the booking and quote process was straightforward. Thank you very much, I will use them again
Cosmina and co. worked hard and did a great job. They worked tirelessly to transform a house, a bit neglected due to busyness and work, into a sparkle. Apart from a 15 minute break, for a drink, they did not stop working and did and excellent job.
Have used this company four times now for a deep clean and three end of tenancy cleans. Always on time, thorough, friendly and polite.

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