What we can show you for Royston
Royston access and housing notes
SG8 housing stock and loading reality, written for Royston rather than the county.
Packing Services in Royston: what actually matters here
A North Hertfordshire town on the chalk at the meeting of the Icknield Way and Ermine Street, on the Cambridgeshire border, with a Georgian and Victorian centre and large modern estates on its northern and eastern edges.
The housing stock is Georgian and Victorian frontages around the crossroads and Kneesworth Street, post-war semis around Burns Road, and 1990s–2020s estate housing at Newmarket Road and the Old Cattle Market, which decides the tools, protection and crew size we bring to a packing services job.
The crossroads and Kneesworth Street are controlled with short loading bays and heavy through traffic, while the newer estates have tight turning heads suited to a 3.5-tonne Luton; Therfield Heath side lanes are single-track with soft verges.
We treat Royston as one service area: Kneesworth Street, Burns Road, Newmarket Road, Therfield and Melbourn Street and the rest of SG8 share the same packing services price list and the same crews.
Royston is a smaller town, and addresses around Royston Cave and Therfield Heath 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.

Mostafa’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.
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 →

Royston questions, answered.
How quickly can you book packing services in Royston?
Same-week slots are standard in Royston, 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.
