Who Our Package and Boxes Service Is For

Homeowners

If you’re selling or buying in Dulwich, we can provide the full packing solution for your house move. From the loft to the garden shed, we supply the right boxes and packing materials for every space in your home.

Renters

Moving between rented properties can be time‑pressured. We offer flexible box delivery, part‑packing, or full packing options so you can focus on notices, inventories, and cleaning while we secure your belongings ready for transport.

Landlords

For landlords clearing properties between tenants, we provide robust boxes and packaging to remove, store, or relocate furniture and contents safely, helping you turn properties around quickly and professionally.

Businesses

Offices, shops, and studios in Dulwich rely on us for organised packing. We use labelled crates and archive boxes, IT-safe packaging, and a systematic approach to reduce downtime and keep business-critical items clearly identified.

Students

Students moving into or out of halls and shared houses often only have a short window to move. Our budget‑friendly box packs and quick packing support help you move your essentials securely without overcomplicating things.

What’s Included in Our Package and Boxes Service

Our service can be booked as materials‑only, packing‑only, or combined with our full removals.

Typical Items Included

• Standard and large removal boxes for general household items
• Heavy‑duty boxes for books, records, and tools
• Wardrobe boxes for hanging clothes
• Bubble wrap, paper, and protective wrap for fragile items
• TV, monitor, and screen protection materials
• Tape, labels, and markers for clear identification
• Specialist packing for pictures, mirrors, and ornaments

Items We Typically Exclude

For safety and insurance reasons, we normally cannot pack or supply boxes for:

• Hazardous materials (paint thinners, fuel, chemicals, gas cylinders)
• Perishable or open food items
• Illegal or stolen goods
• Live animals or plants requiring specific care conditions
• High‑value items such as cash, jewellery, or important personal documents (these are best carried by you)

If you’re unsure about a particular item, we’ll advise what is and isn’t suitable to go in our boxes and what you should transport personally.

Our Step‑by‑Step Packaging and Removals Process

1. Enquiry & Quote

Contact Man with Van Dulwich by phone or online with details of your move and what you need: materials only, packing, or full removals. We’ll ask a few questions about property size, access, and any fragile or unusual items so we can give a clear, no‑obligation quote.

2. Survey (Virtual or Onsite)

For larger homes, offices, or complex moves, we recommend a survey. This can be done by video call or an onsite visit in Dulwich. We assess volume, item types, and any special requirements so we can specify the right number and mix of boxes and packing materials and plan the packing schedule properly.

3. Packing & Preparation

On the agreed date, our professional packers arrive with all materials. We pack room by room, wrapping fragile items, boxing books and general contents, and labelling clearly. If you prefer, we can provide boxes in advance so you can self‑pack, and then we’ll step in to secure delicate or high‑risk items before loading.

4. Loading & Transport

Once everything is packed, our removals team loads the van systematically, heavier boxes at the bottom, fragile items protected and secured. Thanks to consistent box sizes and proper packing, loading is faster and safer, reducing the chance of damage during transit across Dulwich or further afield.

5. Unloading & Placement

At your new property, we unload boxes into the correct rooms, following the labels and your instructions. Where we have provided the packing service, we can also offer an unpacking service by arrangement, taking away used boxes and materials for reuse or recycling.

Transparent Pricing for Packages and Boxes

We keep pricing straightforward and clearly explained. Costs are typically based on:

• Number and type of boxes needed
• Amount of packing material (bubble wrap, paper, tape)
• Labour time for packing and unpacking
• Any specialist packing requirements (e.g. artwork, antiques, IT equipment)

You’ll receive a written estimate so you know exactly what is included. We can provide set box bundles for smaller moves or student moves in Dulwich, and fully itemised quotes for larger or commercial projects.

Why Choose Professional Packing Over DIY

While it’s possible to gather free boxes and pack yourself, using a professional packing service brings clear benefits:

• Correct box sizes and strengths for different items
• Systematic labelling and room‑by‑room organisation
• Reduced risk of breakages and lost items
• Quicker preparation, saving you days of packing
• Better use of vehicle space, often reducing trips

Compared with a casual man‑and‑van, our trained teams follow proven packing methods, use quality materials, and are backed by proper insurance cover. That combination gives you both convenience and peace of mind.

Insurance and Professional Standards

Man with Van Dulwich operates to clear, professional standards for every job.

• Goods in transit insurance – Protection for your belongings while they are being moved in our vehicles, subject to terms and declared values.
• Public liability cover – Cover for accidental damage to property or third parties while we’re working at your home or business.
• Trained moving teams – Our staff are experienced in secure packing, safe lifting, and practical problem‑solving on move day.

We’re always happy to explain what our insurance covers and how best to declare any particularly high‑value items.

Care, Protection, and Sustainability

We treat every item as if it were our own. That means:

• Using appropriate padding and wrapping for fragile pieces
• Reinforcing heavy boxes and keeping them within safe lifting weights
• Protecting floors, doorways, and bannisters during the move

We also take a practical approach to sustainability. Where possible, we reuse strong boxes, collect back reusable materials, and recycle cardboard and paper. If you’d like an eco‑focused move, we can plan to minimise waste and choose materials accordingly.

Real‑World Uses of Our Package and Boxes Service

Moving House in Dulwich

From flats to family homes, we handle full household packing, including kitchens, bedrooms, lofts, and garages. Our aim is to reduce your workload so you can concentrate on contracts, keys, and family arrangements.

Office and Business Relocations

We provide clearly labelled crates and boxes, pack IT equipment carefully, and work to agreed schedules, often outside normal hours, to minimise disruption. Structured packing means easier setup at the new premises.

Urgent or Short‑Notice Moves

When time is tight, our team can step in quickly with ready supplies of boxes and packing materials. We prioritise key rooms and essential items first so you can function at the new address, even if everything isn’t fully unpacked yet.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does your packaging and boxes service cost?

Costs depend mainly on how many boxes you need, the type of materials required, and whether you’d like us to do the packing for you. For smaller flats or student moves, we offer fixed‑price box bundles, which include a mix of box sizes, tape, and packing paper. Larger homes and offices are priced individually after a quick assessment or survey. We’ll always provide a clear written estimate so you know what is included, and there are no hidden extras for standard packaging and boxes in Dulwich.

Can you help with same‑day or urgent packing?

Where our schedule allows, we can often assist with same‑day or short‑notice box delivery and packing in Dulwich. Urgent work is usually focused on essential rooms and key items first, with additional packing arranged as time permits. The more information you can give us when you call – property size, timescales, and any fragile items – the better we can plan. While we can’t guarantee availability every day, we’ll always be honest about what we can realistically achieve within your deadline.

Are my belongings insured while you pack and move them?

Yes. We provide goods in transit insurance for items we transport in our vehicles and public liability cover for the work we carry out at your property. This is designed to give you reassurance that, if the unexpected happens, there is a clear process in place. Certain high‑value or excluded items may need special treatment or separate cover, so we’ll discuss anything unusual in advance. We also reduce risks by using quality materials and employing trained staff who pack and move items correctly.

What’s included in a typical packaging and removals service?

A standard service usually includes supply of suitable boxes, packing materials such as bubble wrap and paper, professional packing of agreed rooms or items, safe loading onto our vehicle, transport, and unloading into the correct rooms at your new address. We can also label boxes clearly and provide wardrobe boxes for clothing. Unpacking and removal of empty boxes can be added if required. Before you book, we’ll confirm exactly what is included so that you can compare options and choose the level of help that suits your budget and timescale.

How is this different from a basic man-and-van service?

A casual man‑and‑van typically focuses on transport only and may expect you to provide your own boxes and do all packing yourself. Our service is more comprehensive. We supply purpose‑designed packing materials, offer full or partial packing by trained staff, and follow a clear process with proper insurance in place. That means your belongings are better protected, the move runs more smoothly, and you have a single point of responsibility for both packing and transport. It’s a more structured, reliable solution, especially for larger or more valuable moves.

How far in advance should I book boxes and packing?

For most moves, booking one to two weeks in advance is ideal. This gives us time to carry out any survey, plan materials, and schedule our team. During busy periods, such as summer and month‑ends, earlier booking is advisable, especially for full packing services. If you just need boxes delivered, we can often arrange this at shorter notice. Even if your dates are not fully confirmed, it’s worth contacting us early so we can provisionally reserve time and materials for your Dulwich move.
