What we can show you for Wallingford
Wallingford access and housing notes
OX10 housing stock and loading reality, written for Wallingford rather than the county.
Packing Services in Wallingford: what actually matters here
A Thames crossing town with a Saxon street grid, a large market place and a compact conservation-area centre.
The housing stock is Georgian and Victorian property around the Market Place, St Mary's Street and the High Street, much of it listed; post-war housing at Winterbrook and the southern edge; and modern development on the western approaches, which decides the tools, protection and crew size we bring to a packing services job.
The grid of narrow streets inside the old town centre has limited loading and several one-way sections, and the bridge is a single crossing that queues at peak. Town-centre jobs get a smaller vehicle and a mid-morning slot; Winterbrook and the newer western housing take a Luton at the door. South Oxfordshire District Council sets parking and bulky collections.
Wallingford jobs are routed across the full OX10 area, so Wallingford Market Place, Winterbrook and Crowmarsh Gifford are quoted exactly as the centre of town is, with no outer-area surcharge.
As a smaller town built around Wallingford Bridge and the castle earthworks beside the Thames, Wallingford 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 →

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