Pricing guide

Cost mainly depends on the level of service, total crew‑hours and materials required. Partial assistance where you pack most items is typically less labour‑intensive than full‑service or whole‑home packing, while many fragile items or difficult access usually increase the estimated work. Callout fees, scheduling and after‑hours attendance can also affect the final quote.

  • Level of service

    Full packing with unpacking requires more crew‑hours and materials than partial assistance where you do most of the packing.

  • Volume and item count

    More rooms or a higher number of items typically increase packing time and the quantity of packing materials needed.

  • Fragile items and special packing

    A large number of fragile items or the need for specialist crating usually adds labour, materials and may require separate quotes.

  • Access and stairs

    Difficult access, multiple flights of stairs or narrow lifts increase handling time and crew‑hours.

  • Timing, callout and after‑hours

    Callout fees, scheduled times and after‑hours attendance typically affect the overall charge as labour arrangements vary by time.
