What we can show you for Thame
Thame access and housing notes
OX9 housing stock and loading reality, written for Thame rather than the county.
Packing Services in Thame: what actually matters here
A South Oxfordshire market town with one of the widest historic market streets in the region and a largely conservation-area core.
The housing stock is Timber-framed, brick and rendered period property along the High Street and Cornmarket, much of it listed; post-war housing off Moreton Avenue and Chinnor Road; and modern estates on the southern and eastern edges, which decides the tools, protection and crew size we bring to a packing services job.
The wide High Street is a genuine advantage most days — there is room to stop and load — but market day and event closures remove it entirely, so we check the date before quoting a town-centre job. The listed frontages behind it are the real constraint: narrow doors, tight turns on stairs and floors that need boarding. The outer estates are ordinary van-at-the-door work. South Oxfordshire District Council sets parking and bulky collections.
Thame is quoted as a whole: Thame Town Centre, Moreton Avenue, Lea Park, Towersey and Tetsworth are on the same packing services rate as anywhere else inside OX9.
Thame is a smaller town, and addresses around The broad High Street and Upper High Street, wide enough to have held the market for centuries 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
- 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.
- 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.

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.

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