Packing and protection in Balmoral
On flat streets, furniture rides trolleys from door to truck. Here it gets carried: down stairwells, up garden steps, along the kerb you won at 7am. So our packing standard has one rule with no exceptions: everything gets wrapped, because everything gets carried.
Three ways to pack a house
- You pack, we supply. Double-walled cartons, butcher's paper, tape and port-a-robes delivered to your door ahead of the move, with honest advice on how many you'll actually need.
- We pack the hard rooms. The kitchen, the glassware, the artwork: the rooms people dread. You keep the wardrobe and the books; we take the breakables.
- The full pack. A packing crew ahead of move day, room by room, labelled by destination. You point, they wrap, and move day starts with the work already half done.
Packing time is charged at the same honest hourly rates as the move itself, and packing ahead of the day almost always shortens the total. The maths is explained plainly in the crew and rates guide.
What protection actually means
Not a word on a website: a sequence the crew runs the same way every time.
- Furniture blanket-wrapped in the room, taped closed, corners doubled
- Mattresses bagged; sofas wrapped seat-first so cushions can't wander
- Doorframes, rails and common halls padded in walk-ups and tight federation hallways
- In the truck: strapped to the wall in load order, heavy under light, nothing loose
It's also why the wrap survives the weather. A carry across an exposed beachfront kerb or down forty garden steps in sea air treats furniture very differently to a suburban driveway, and the wrapping standard is set for the harder case.
