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.

Sized for Custom House: homes here average about 2.5 bedrooms and 50.3% 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.

• Kitchen10–16

  Cell-divided cartons for glass, plates packed on edge, pans in mediums.

• Living room and books13–21

  Books in small boxes only — nothing over 20kg on a London staircase.

• Bedrooms and wardrobes11–19

  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.

• Fragiles — china, glass, art, mirrors5–8

  Wrapped individually in paper, then bubble, then boxed with corner protection.

• Loft, garage and shed7–11

  Usually a third of the total again, and the part most quotes forget to count.

Custom House is period stock near Custom House station and Victoria Dock, and that shapes every pack: china cabinets, stemware, mirrors, framed prints and long runs of shelving. Rooms average around 2.5 bedrooms 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.
