With Britannia Appleyards South Yorkshire, you can take the pressure off. Your belongings are packed properly, protected correctly, and prepared for transport by experienced professionals who do this every day. Whether you want help with everything or just the fragile items, you can choose a packing service that fits your move, your time, and your budget.

Why Professional Packing Makes a Difference

Poor packing is one of the biggest causes of damage during a move. Boxes split, items rub together, and fragile belongings don’t get the protection they need.
A professional packing service helps you:
Protect furniture, glassware, and valuables
Save hours (or days) of packing time
Reduce stress in the lead-up to moving day
Avoid last-minute panic and rushed packing
Keep everything organised and easy to unpack
If you’re juggling work, family, or tight deadlines, packing support can make your whole move feel far more manageable.

Flexible Packing Options to Suit You

You don’t have to choose “all or nothing”. Your packing service can be tailored to exactly what you need.

Full Packing Service

Ideal if you want the move handled for you from start to finish.
You can step back knowing everything is ready for moving day.
Our team will:
Supply all boxes and packing materials
Carefully pack your belongings room by room
Protect furniture and fragile items properly
Label boxes clearly for easy unloading

Part Packing Service

If you’re happy to pack most items yourself but want help with certain areas, this option gives you flexibility.
You stay in control, with expert help where it matters most.
This is often used for:
Kitchens and glassware
Pictures, mirrors, and ornaments
Delicate or valuable items
Items you’re unsure how to pack safely

Owner Packing (With the Right Materials)

If you prefer to pack yourself, you can still get the right materials and advice to do it properly.
You’ll also get guidance on how to pack safely, so your items travel securely.
You can be supplied with:
Strong removal-grade boxes
Packing paper and protective materials
Wardrobe boxes (usually supplied on moving day due to size)

Furniture Protection & Export Wrapping

Large items need more than a box.
This helps prevent scratches, dents, and rubbing during transport — especially important for wooden furniture, sofas, and high-value items.
Furniture can be protected using:
Removal blankets
Shrink wrap
Export wrapping (recommended for long-distance or overseas moves)

Packing for UK, European & Overseas Moves

Packing requirements change depending on where you’re moving.
You’ll be advised on the safest and most cost-effective packing method for your specific move.
For longer journeys and overseas moves, packing may include:
Stronger export-grade materials
Detailed inventories
Extra protection for humidity and handling during transit

Helpful Packing Advice From Experience

A few examples of practical advice you’ll benefit from:
Drawers can often be left filled with non-breakable items
Under-bed drawers are ideal for bedding (lighter items)
Small pictures can be boxed, while larger ones are usually left in place for safe removal
Heavy items should be removed from drawers to avoid damage
These small details make a big difference on moving day.
