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 Lewisham 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 Lewisham 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 SE4, SE6, SE8, SE12, SE13, SE14, SE23, SE26 where booked.
Why us
Why Lewisham 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.
Fragile-heavy period homes in Lewisham
China cabinets, stemware, mirrors, framed art and shelves of books are the real job here. Plates travel on edge in cell-divided cartons, glasses go glass-in-glass, and books go in small boxes so nobody has to lift 30kg down a period staircase.

About the place
Packing in Lewisham what it actually involves
Lewisham is victorian and edwardian terraces and conversions, 1960s catford estates and new lewisham town-centre towers. That mix is what a packing quote in the borough actually turns on: bedroom count and shelf metres set the box plan, period stock adds a fragile packing day, and access — steep hills at honor oak and forest hill, narrow terraced streets and expanding cpzs across se4 and se14. — decides how materials arrive and how boxes leave. Every quote is written against your own home rather than the borough average.
Questions
Packing in Lewisham answered
From £180 for a 1-bed and £420 for a 3-bed, VAT and all materials included. The figure follows bedrooms and contents, and it is confirmed in writing from your photos or a short video before you book.
One day with two to three packers is typical. Book-heavy or loft-heavy homes run to a day and a half, which we price up front rather than on the day.
Yes — double-wall boxes, paper, bubble wrap, tape, covers and wardrobe boxes on loan, delivered across SE4, SE6, SE8, SE12 a few days ahead of the pack.
Yes. Kitchen-only packs start at £120, fragile-only packs at £140, and materials-only bundles start at £55 if you would rather pack yourself.
Professionally packed boxes are claimable under goods-in-transit cover; owner-packed boxes usually are not, because the insurer cannot verify the contents or the wrapping.
Source room, destination room, contents and a fragile flag on four sides, plus a numbered inventory handed over at the end of the pack.

All 12 named areas of the borough and every postcode in SE4, SE6, SE8, SE12. Same crews, same materials, same written price across the whole borough.
A Lewisham full pack starts at £180 for a 1-bed and lands between £420 and £540 for a typical 3-bed, VAT and every box, roll and cover included. Homes here average 2.37 bedrooms with 57.7% flats (ONS Census 2021), which is why we quote a band rather than one number. Every line is published on the packing price list before you speak to anyone.
Yes. We charge the same national rates in SE4, SE6, SE8 as we do in Manchester or Maidstone — no London loading. ULEZ is absorbed into the quoted figure and never itemised on the invoice. The reasoning, and what genuinely does move a price, is set out in the national rates FAQ accordion.
Two inputs: property size and how much fragile, book and storage-cupboard content is in play. Lewisham is 57.7% flats, so packs here are usually one-day, single-crew jobs with no loft to clear. Compare how packing is charged against removals and cleaning in the rates comparison table, then see the exact bands on the packing prices page.
Yes — packing is a standalone service and priced separately from the move. Kitchen-only packs start at £120, fragile-only at £140, materials-only bundles at £55, and unpack-only at £150 across SE4, SE6, SE8. All four are listed on the full packing price list; the rates FAQ explains how they combine with a removal booking on the same day.
No. The written quote is the price. Parking suspensions, permits and ULEZ are inside it — steep hills at honor oak and forest hill, narrow terraced streets and expanding cpzs across se4 and se14. If we get it wrong, we absorb it; that promise is written into the national rates FAQ accordion and applies to every Lewisham pack.

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!
