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 Canning Town 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 Newham 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 E16 where booked.
Why us
Why Canning Town 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.
Fast end-of-tenancy packs across Canning Town's rentals
Short notice, a tight checkout and a landlord's inventory. A two-packer team clears a rented flat in half a day, or we drop materials only if you would rather pack yourself and just want the boxes to be the right ones.

- ULEZ is inside the quoted figure and never appears on the invoice.
- Book- and china-heavy homes cost more in boxes and hours; with 26.5% owner-occupied here we price that honestly up front rather than on the day.

How many boxes a Canning Town home needs about 45–75 boxes
Sized for Canning Town: homes across Newham average 2.43 bedrooms (ONS Census 2021) and 66.2% of Canning Town homes are flats, so this is the plan a typical E16 pack actually needs. Every box, roll and cover in it is inside the quoted price.
- Kitchen9–15
Cell-divided cartons for glass, plates packed on edge, pans in mediums.
- Living room and books12–20
Books in small boxes only — nothing over 20kg on a London staircase.
- Bedrooms and wardrobes11–18
Hanging clothes straight into wardrobe boxes on loan, drawers into larges.
- Bathroom, hallway and study5–9
Liquids bagged and boxed separately, cables and tech in one labelled carton.

About the place
Packing in Canning Town what it actually involves
Rebuilt interchange district of new blocks beside the Lea mouth and Bow Creek. We load from E16, run in from Canning Town (Jubilee, DLR), and cover custom-house-e16, west-ham-e13, royal-docks-e16 alongside it. Canning Town around Bow Creek Ecology Park is high-churn rented housing — 38% privately rented — so packing is fast and deadline-shaped. Checkout is usually a fixed hour, the inventory clerk is booked, and a two-packer team clears a flat in half a day. Plenty of tenants take packing materials only and pack themselves, with boxes collected the week after.
Area at a glance
Canning Town E16 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 Canning Town Central and Canning Town East and Canning Town North and Canning Town South & Bow Creek neighbourhood itself — not Newham-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!
