Packing Services in Banbury: what actually matters here
Cherwell's largest town, a motorway-served market and distribution centre that has grown outwards in estates since the 1960s.
The housing stock is Victorian terraces in Grimsbury and around the town centre; post-war council-built estates at Bretch Hill, Ruscote and Easington; and large modern estates at Hanwell Fields, Longford Park and Bankside, laid out for cars with drives and garages, which decides the tools, protection and crew size we bring to a packing services job.
Banbury is one of the easier towns in the county to work in. The modern estates on the north and south edges take a Luton to the door, and the M40 at junction 11 keeps a same-day return to the transfer station realistic. The awkward part is the centre: the Victorian terraces in Grimsbury are narrow with no off-street parking, and the market-place streets have loading restrictions and market-day closures. Cherwell District Council sets parking and bulky collections; the county council runs the recycling centre and its van and trailer permits.
Grimsbury, Neithrop, Ruscote and Bretch Hill all sit inside the Banbury round. Whichever of OX16, OX15 and OX17 your address falls in, the packing services quote is built the same way.
Banbury is a mid-sized town; the streets around Banbury Cross, with the Oxford Canal and the M40 running either side of the town 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
- 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.

A throughly professional and friendly job. Moving house can be stressful, and these guys made the experience significantly less so by efficiently cleaning the house.
Booked them for one Bed Flat move from Hammersmith to Epsom. They packed all my stuff and loaded in less than 2 hours. I was also able to travel in the van to the destination. Thanks to Alan and his colleague. Forgot his name.

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