How it works
Three steps and one written figure
Tell us the home
Bedrooms, what you want packed and photos or a quick video walk-round. That is enough to size a Gidea Park pack without anyone visiting.
Fixed quote and box plan
Packer count, hours and every box, roll and cover in one figure, with London Borough of Havering parking for the materials drop already sorted.
Packed and labelled
Room by room, fragiles wrapped individually, inventory handed over, plus unpacking and box collection in RM2 where booked.
Why us
Why Gidea Park books our packers and books them again
Insurance-valid packing
Professionally packed boxes are claimable under goods-in-transit cover. Owner-packed boxes usually are not, because no insurer can verify what went in or how it was wrapped. That is the honest reason to book.
All materials included and delivered ahead
Double-wall boxes, packing paper, bubble wrap, tape, mattress and sofa covers and wardrobe boxes on loan — inside the price, dropped days before, never itemised afterwards.
Labelling that survives the unload
Source room, destination room, contents and a fragile flag on four sides, plus a numbered inventory, so the right boxes end up in the right rooms and nothing is opened at random.
Patient downsizing packs in Gidea Park
Downsizing is sorting as much as packing. We work at your pace, keep donation boxes running alongside the keep boxes, and label so a smaller home can be unpacked in stages rather than all at once.

All prices include VAT and all materials — double-wall boxes, packing paper, bubble wrap, tape, mattress and sofa covers, and wardrobe boxes on loan. Quotes follow bedrooms and contents, are confirmed in writing from your photos or a video walk-round, and are never revised on the day. Homes heavy with books, china or artwork are priced honestly up front rather than surprised at the end.
- Materials for Gidea Park are delivered two to five days ahead with parking handled — long driveways, gated entrances and quiet wide roads — easy for any van.
- ULEZ is inside the quoted figure and never appears on the invoice.
- Book- and china-heavy homes cost more in boxes and hours; with 70.7% owner-occupied here we price that honestly up front rather than on the day.

About the place
Packing in Gidea Park what it actually involves
The 1911 Garden Suburb exhibition estate of Arts and Crafts houses. We load from RM2, run in from Gidea Park (Elizabeth line), and cover romford-rm1, harold-wood-rm3, hornchurch-rm12 alongside it. Gidea Park, around The Gidea Park Exhibition Estate, is settled ownership — 70.7% of homes are owner-occupied and the median age is 41.8. Packs here are sorting as much as wrapping: decades of contents, a loft nobody has emptied and a smaller home waiting. We run donation boxes alongside the keep boxes and label so unpacking can happen in stages.

Bedrooms, housing type and how long people stay are what decide a box count — so the pack is priced from the home, not the postcode. These are the published Census 2021 figures for the Gidea Park neighbourhood itself — not Havering-wide averages, and not estimates.

Questions
Packing in Gidea Park answered
A full pack starts at £180 for a 1-bed and £420 for a 3-bed in RM2, including VAT and every box, roll and cover on this side of Havering, with The Gidea Park Exhibition Estate a few streets away. 81 bedrooms (ONS Census 2021), so most Gidea Park quotes land between those two figures across RM2.
Two to three packers finish a typical 3-bed in a single day on this side of Havering. Heavy book, china or loft contents can push it to a day and a half on RM2 jobs — and a median age of 42 in this neighbourhood, with this being a short walk from Gidea Park (Elizabeth line), and we say so in the quote rather than discovering it at 4pm.
Yes. Double-wall boxes, packing paper, bubble wrap, tape, mattress and sofa covers and wardrobe boxes on loan are all included and delivered to RM2 a few days before the pack on this side of Havering — and 19% of RM2 homes being privately rented, with The Gidea Park Exhibition Estate a few streets away.

Professionally packed boxes are claimable under goods-in-transit cover. Owner-packed boxes are routinely excluded because the insurer cannot verify what went in or how in Gidea Park. That is the honest reason most people book a pack on Havering bookings.
Every box is marked with its source room, its destination room and its contents, fragiles are flagged on all four sides for Gidea Park (RM2) addresses, with 3,958 households on this patch — and this being London Borough of Havering territory, and you get a numbered inventory list so nothing is opened at random at the other end.
Yes. Unpack-only starts at £150 and packing plus unpacking is about 45% on top of the pack price on this side of Havering, with 37% of homes here being flats. Box collection after the move is £45 and we flatten and reuse or recycle everything across RM2.

4.5 ★ from 3,131 Trustpilot reviewsWorth 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!
Wanted a one off deep clean. The team were extremely thorough and I could not find anything that missed. Cleaned to a high standard and were very patient with us as I had to hold up their work while I moved boxes around due the my house move.
Cosmina and her mum did an amazing job cleaning my home, they were really thorough. They were even kind enough to help me move my boxes too. Will use them again and highly recommend!
