Pre-Packing Service
Packing is widely regarded as the most exhausting and time-consuming element of moving home. In the current climate of 2026, where London house price surges have led to a fast-paced property market, the pressure to vacate and complete on time is higher than ever. For many busy families and professionals, finding the weeks required to carefully box up a lifetime of possessions is simply not feasible.
At Jonesmoves Ltd, we believe that a successful move begins long before the tail lift of the van is lowered. Our professional Pre-Packing Service is designed to eliminate the chaos of moving. Instead of living amongst half-filled boxes for a month, our expert team arrives to handle the entire process with military precision, usually in just a single day.
As a family-run business led by brothers Liam and Casey Jones—with Rosie Jones coordinating every detail from the office—we bring a personal touch to professional packing. We treat your fine china, fragile ornaments, and sentimental keepsakes with the same care we would our own family heirlooms.
What is Jonesmoves Ltd’s Pre-Packing Service?
Our Pre-Packing Service is a comprehensive preparation solution where our trained staff take over the arduous task of boxing up your home or office. While many removal companies offer packing as a secondary thought, for us, it is a specialist skill.
The service typically takes place 24 to 48 hours before your move day. We send a dedicated team of “true grafters” to your property, equipped with high-quality, eco-friendly materials. We don’t just throw items into boxes; we organise, wrap, and secure your belongings to ensure they are perfectly prepared for transit. Whether you are moving from a studio flat in Battersea or a five-bedroom family home in Chiswick, our pre-packing service ensures that when the removal van arrives, the transition is smooth, swift, and entirely stress-free.
Key Benefits of Professional Pre-Packing for Your Move
Choosing a professional pre-packing service is an investment in your peace of mind. Here is why our clients in London and across the UK consider it an essential part of their moving plan:
1. Save Up to 70% of Your Time
The average three-bedroom house can take an untrained person over 40 hours to pack correctly. Between professional commitments and family life, most people simply do not have that kind of time. By hiring Jonesmoves, you can reduce your packing involvement by up to 70%. We allow you to keep your home functional until the final day, rather than living in a “construction zone” of cardboard boxes for weeks on end.
2. A Zero-Damage Record
With over 20 years of collective experience in the removals industry, we have maintained an enviable reputation for zero-damage packing. We understand the physics of a move. We know how to distribute weight within a box to prevent the bottom from falling out and how to use double-wall cardboard to protect against the vibrations of a long motorway journey.
3. Sustainable, High-Quality Materials
In 2026, we are more committed than ever to reducing the environmental impact of moving. We use eco-friendly, recyclable packing materials, including acid-free tissue paper and biodegradable bubble wrap. Our wardrobe boxes allow your clothes to stay on their hangers, meaning you won’t spend your first week in your new home at the dry cleaners.
4. Reduced Move-Day Stress
A well-packed house is a fast house. Because our team packs with the “unload” in mind, everything is perfectly stacked and ready for our Full Removal Services team to load the vehicle. This efficiency prevents delays on move day, ensuring you meet your completion deadlines without the panic.
How Our Pre-Packing Process Works Step-by-Step
We have refined our pre-packing process to be as non-intrusive and efficient as possible.
- Bespoke Assessment: Rosie Jones coordinates with you to understand the volume and nature of your items. We identify high-value antiques, delicate electronics, and bulky furniture that may require specialist handling.
- Room-by-Room Systematic Packing: Our team works room by room to maintain order. We don’t mix the kitchen items with the bathroom supplies, ensuring that unpacking is as simple as possible at your new destination.
- Specialist Fragile Wrapping: Using “white-glove” techniques, we wrap glass, ceramics, and artwork in multiple layers of protection. Each item is cushioned to withstand movement during transit.
- Clear Labelling & Inventory: Every box is clearly labelled with its contents and its intended room at the new property. We can even create a basic inventory for large-scale moves to help you find essentials the moment you arrive.
- The “Essentials” Handover: We always leave out the items you need for your final night and your move-day morning—the kettle, chargers, and overnight bags—ensuring you aren’t digging through boxes for a tea bag on your first morning.
Custom Pre-Packing Options to Fit Your Needs
At Jonesmoves, we recognise that every client has different requirements. We offer three distinct levels of service:
- The Fragile-Only Pack: Ideal for those who are happy to box up their own books, clothes, and linens but want professional protection for their kitchenware, mirrors, and ornaments.
- The Full Household Pack: Our most popular option. We pack every single item in your home, from the loft to the garden shed, leaving you with nothing to do but turn the key.
- Commercial & Office Packing: For businesses relocating in London or nationwide. We specialise in the secure packing of files, IT equipment, and office supplies to ensure your business is back up and running with minimal downtime.
If your new property isn’t quite ready, we can seamlessly integrate our pre-packing with our Storage Solutions, taking packed boxes directly to a secure facility.
Pre-Packing Costs and What is Included
Transparency is at the heart of our family values. We loathe the “hidden extra” culture as much as our customers do. When you receive a quote from us, it is a fixed price that covers:
- Full Labour: Our own full-time, trained staff (we never use untrained agency workers).
- All Packing Materials: Boxes, tape, paper, and bubble wrap are all included in the quoted price.
- Full Insurance: Our Move Assured accreditation means our packing work is fully covered by comprehensive Goods in Transit and Public Liability insurance.
- Dismantling Prep: As part of the pre-pack, we can begin dismantling large items like beds and wardrobes, ensuring move day is strictly about loading.
