Packing up all of your belongings can sometimes feel like quite a daunting task, which is why Huntingtower Removals offer a fully comprehensive packing service. During this process we will visit your property and do a survey which will allow us to estimate the number of boxes which will need to be packed, aswell as any fragile belongings which require special packing and handling. The next step is to arrange a date and time in which our professional team will arrive with boxes, bubble wrap, tape and paper to safely wrap all of your belongings safely, ready for moving to your new home. Please note that packing is commonly done on a date prior to your move so lay to one side anything of importance which you may need prior to your removal date. This may include any important paperwork/ documentation, keys, food and medication. 

At Huntingtower Removals we appreciate that there are many factors which can affect your move. These include the signing of missives, transferring money and dealing with banks, estate agents and other buyers/ sellers.
