Our Packing Services

Moving can be stressful – particularly when it comes to packing up the contents of your home. At GB Liners, our local teams of moving professionals are here to help make the transition to your new home as smooth as possible. We offer a range of packing options to suit you, including full packing, partial packing, and can supply packing materials if you wish to do it yourself. 
Whether you’re packing for a move within the UK, our professional home packing services can help see your belongings safely through the journey.

Pre-Move Survey

At GB Liners, every move begins with a survey of your property and belongings. This survey allows our team to plan for when the big day comes and can be performed either in person or via a video link, depending on what is more convenient for you. 

During the survey, we will talk you through your various options in order to choose the best packing service to suit your needs. We can also make note of any particularly large, fragile, or other items that need specific care and attention, as well as any items that require dismantling before the move. 

Our pre-move surveys are free, comprehensive, and will help us put together a personalised quote prior to your move. Once confirmed, everything discussed with us will be put into writing, ensuring all times, dates, and other arrangements are committed. 

Full Packing Services

With our full packing services, we can help with preparing and packing every item in your home for the move. Our team are able to help dismantle and reassemble basic items of furniture, as well as removing curtains and other furnishings, handling precious or delicate items and ensuring they are safely packed for transportation.

With our full packing services, our customers can enjoy the benefits of living in their normal conditions up to the day of the move, without the stress of taking time out of their busy schedules to make time to pack up their home. Our team are on hand to make sure you don’t have to lift a finger!

With our full packing service, clients can rest assured that their belongings will be treated with the utmost respect and care by our staff, who are trained in our in-house training centre. Hanging clothes will be hung in our transit wardrobes to avoid cramming into boxes, and glassware, china, and breakable items will be individually wrapped and boxed in fibre-board cartons.

For more information on how your items will be packed for transit, please ask your removals coordinator.

Part Packing Services

For some of our clients, part-packing services are more suited to their needs. With part-packing, you can retain control over boxing personal treasured items, leaving GB Liners to help only where it is most needed – typically for breakable items that need more specialist attention. During part-packing, we typically provide packing materials for you to utilise on your own, for example, for books, pots and pans, or personal belongings, and when our trained staff arrive, they can handle the more fragile items (such as fine china, glasswork, lamps, etc.)

For items included in our part-packing services, we offer the same level of care and attention as we do with full packing. During your pre-move survey, we will discuss with you which items you would like to include in your part-packing services, giving you the freedom to pick and choose what GB Liners should handle, and what you’d prefer to tackle on your own – for example, you might choose to tackle the bedrooms yourself, and prefer our packing team to handle the kitchen.

Packing Supplies and Materials

Thinking about packing your home yourself? GB Liners can still help. We can supply packing materials for customers, including the cost within our personalised quotations. 

If you choose to pack yourself, speak with the GB Liners team and we can deliver high-quality packing materials to help support the process. We can deliver your supplies as far in advance of your move as suits your plans and schedule. Additionally, we collect our own used packing supplies post-move, providing they are in good condition and your end location isn’t too far from any of our branches

At GB Liners, we are committed to reducing waste, and will re-use boxes until they are no longer in working condition prior to recycling.
