What we can show you for Henley-on-Thames
Henley-on-Thames access and housing notes
RG9 housing stock and loading reality, written for Henley-on-Thames rather than the county.
Packing Services in Henley-on-Thames: what actually matters here
A Thames-side town of high-value period property, administratively South Oxfordshire despite its Berkshire postcode and Berkshire river bank.
The housing stock is Georgian and Victorian town houses along Hart Street, Bell Street and New Street, heavily conservation area and frequently listed; Victorian terraces off the Reading Road; and large detached property on the hills at Gravel Hill and Remenham Hill, which decides the tools, protection and crew size we bring to a packing services job.
Henley is the most access-constrained town on this list after Oxford. The central streets are narrow, largely conservation area, with restricted loading and a single river crossing that congests; the hill approaches at Gravel Hill are steep enough to matter for a loaded vehicle; and regatta week changes the road layout and fills the town. We plan Henley jobs around the date first and the vehicle second. South Oxfordshire District Council handles parking and bulky collections.
Henley-on-Thames jobs are routed across the full RG9 area, so Hart Street, Bell Street, Gravel Hill, Harpsden and Shiplake are quoted exactly as the centre of town is, with no outer-area surcharge.
As a smaller town built around Henley Bridge and the regatta course stretching upstream to Temple Island, Henley-on-Thames 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.

The drivers were very friendly and helpful. But they arrived at our place without any of the boxes we had previously paid for and were not aware we had contracted them. The office was helpful to find a solution but the whole process was delayed in 2 hours and in the end we didnt get… Read in full →
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.

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