Packing Services in Crawley: what actually matters here
A post-war new town built as thirteen named residential neighbourhoods around a planned centre, with Gatwick Airport on its northern edge shaping both the housing market and the working day.
The housing stock is Late-1940s to 1960s new-town terraces and semis in Southgate, West Green, Langley Green and Three Bridges; 1970s and 1980s estates at Broadfield, Bewbush and Furnace Green; 1990s and later development at Maidenbower and Forge Wood; and a large purpose-built flat and shared-house market serving airport shift workers, which decides the tools, protection and crew size we bring to a packing services job.
Crawley is the easiest large town in the county to work in, because it was designed for vehicles: wide estate roads, cul-de-sacs with turning heads, garage courts and driveways or verge parking at most addresses. The constraints are different in kind — residents' schemes and short-stay bays around the town centre and Three Bridges station, height barriers on some garage courts and flat-block car parks, and airport shift patterns that mean access has to be booked around a night shift rather than a nine-to-five. West Sussex County Council's household sites require a permit for a van, pick-up or trailer and take no trade waste.
We treat Crawley as one service area: Three Bridges, Pound Hill and Maidenbower and the rest of RH10 and RH11 share the same packing services price list and the same crews.
Crawley is one of the larger settlements in the county, and addresses around Gatwick Airport and the Tilgate Park lakes 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
- 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.
- 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.
Removals and moving reviews across the UK
4.5 ★ from 3,131 Trustpilot reviewsWe ordered two men and van from their Hello Vans site, we found everything easy and friendly. We managed to book it online and able to contact the movers on the day. They did supper good job.
Mostafa’s Loqman team were lovely. Mostafa is extremely accommodating. I had a logistically difficult clean (lots of boxes due to moving in) but he managed to instruct carefully how the clean should be carried out. Will definitely call again in the future.
My daughter and her friend employed hello services to move the contents of their flat in Stevenage to their new flat in London. They arrived a little early to ensure they were ready to start at 9am The flat was at the top of the three story block of flats and the three of them… Read in full →

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