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 Raynes 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 Merton 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 SW20 where booked.
Why us
Why Raynes 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.
Fragile-heavy period homes in Raynes Park
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.

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 Raynes Park are delivered two to five days ahead with parking handled — driveways on most roads; the level crossing and station parade congest at peak.
- ULEZ is inside the quoted figure and never appears on the invoice.
- Book- and china-heavy homes cost more in boxes and hours; with 51% owner-occupied here we price that honestly up front rather than on the day.

About the place
Packing in Raynes Park what it actually involves
A quiet family suburb of interwar semis with Cottenham Park nearby. Packers arrive by Raynes Park (South Western), and the same team covers wimbledon-sw19, new-malden-kt3, morden-sm4. Raynes Park is period stock near Cottenham Park, and that shapes every pack: china cabinets, stemware, mirrors, framed prints and long runs of shelving. Homes across Merton average 2.71 bedrooms (ONS Census 2021) and hold far more glass and paper than a modern flat, so a fragile packing day is often booked on its own. Narrow returns on the stairs decide how boxes are filled — small and heavy, large and light.
Area at a glance
Raynes Park SW20 by the numbers
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 Raynes Park neighbourhood itself — not Merton-wide averages, and not estimates.

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!
