Packing Services in Chichester: what actually matters here
A cathedral city on a Roman street plan, with a walled, largely pedestrianised centre of Georgian townhouses and a ring of twentieth-century and new-build suburbs between the Downs and the harbour.
The housing stock is Georgian townhouses in the Pallants and the four quadrants inside the walls, Victorian terraces in Whyke and Summersdale, interwar and post-war housing at Parklands and Whyke, and newer development at Graylingwell and on the city's northern edge, which decides the tools, protection and crew size we bring to a packing services job.
Inside the walls, North, South, East and West Street are pedestrianised with timed vehicle access and the Pallants are narrow, listed and tightly parked — work there runs to an agreed loading window or a shuttle from a city car park, and heavy items go in by hand. Conservation-area and listed-building rules also limit what can be fixed to a frontage. Outside the walls, Summersdale, Parklands, Whyke and Graylingwell are conventional suburban addresses with drives and side access. Chichester District Council sets parking and bulky-waste rules; disposal is through West Sussex County Council sites under the van and trailer permit scheme.
Chichester jobs are routed across the full PO19, PO18 and PO20 area, so The Pallants, Summersdale, Whyke, Parklands and Graylingwell are quoted exactly as the centre of town is, with no outer-area surcharge.
Chichester is a mid-sized town; the streets around The cathedral spire, the Market Cross and the surviving city walls 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
- 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.

4.5 ★ from 3,131 Trustpilot reviewsReally 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.

My movers were great! So fast and organised. Both of them were lovely so if I need to move again, I will definitely use the same guys. At one point my husband and I were nervous about all our stuff fitting in a Luton van, but Abdulla managed it all as well as keeping us… Read in full →
Worth Hiring for Moving services These guys have made my work so easy, they took care of all the items, packed it nicely and they got a big van which was sufficient enough to move my stuffs. I have recently shifted to Kingston and happy to call them for services when needed. Cheers!

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