Local Surrey Expertise You Can Rely On

Working across Surrey day in, day out, we understand local properties and the challenges they present. From narrow cottage staircases in villages to new-build apartments and busy town centre offices, we know how to choose the right boxes, pack efficiently and protect your belongings for short local journeys or longer national moves.

Our teams are fully insured, locally based, and familiar with Surrey’s roads, parking restrictions and building access rules, which means fewer delays and a smoother experience for you.

Who Our Package and Boxes Service Is For

Homeowners

If you’re selling or buying in Surrey, we can supply sturdy boxes, specialist packing for fragile items, and full household packing to keep your move on schedule and reduce disruption.

Renters

Whether you’re moving between rented properties or downsizing, we provide flexible packing options and correctly sized boxes so you can move quickly without risking damage or disputes over the condition of your belongings.

Landlords

Landlords often need to clear or refresh properties at short notice. We provide professional packaging and labelled boxes for furniture, appliances and contents, making storage or redistribution simple and well documented.

Businesses

Offices, shops and other commercial premises depend on organised packing. We supply archive boxes, IT and monitor boxes, crate-style solutions and protective packing for equipment, helping to minimise downtime during relocations or refurbishments.

Students

Students moving to or from Surrey, or between term-time and home addresses, benefit from cost-effective boxes and simple packing help, ideal for smaller loads of clothes, books, electronics and kitchen items.

What We Can Pack – and What We Can’t

Items Typically Included

• Household contents – books, clothes, kitchenware, ornaments, toys
• Electronics – TVs, computers, monitors, printers, audio equipment
• Fragile items – glassware, crockery, mirrors, pictures, ornaments
• Small and medium furniture that can sensibly be boxed or protected
• Office items – files, folders, stationery, IT equipment and peripherals

Items We Cannot Pack

For safety, legal and insurance reasons, some items are excluded from our Package and Boxes service:

• Hazardous materials – paints, solvents, fuel, gas cylinders, chemicals
• Perishable or open food
• Live plants and animals
• Illegal items or substances
• Cash, jewellery and irreplaceable personal documents – these should always travel with you

If you’re unsure about a specific item, we’ll advise you clearly before packing begins.

Our Step-by-Step Packing and Boxes Process

1. Enquiry & Quote

You contact us with an outline of what you need – just materials, or materials plus packing. We ask a few straightforward questions about your property size, types of items, and timings. We then provide a clear, no-obligation quote for boxes, packing materials and any packing labour.

2. Survey (Virtual or Onsite)

For larger or more complex jobs, we arrange a short virtual or onsite survey in Surrey. This allows us to assess access, volume of belongings, special items and any fragile or high-value goods needing extra protection. It means we arrive with the right quantity and type of boxes and materials.

3. Packing & Preparation

On the agreed day, our trained packing team arrives on time with all materials. We protect surfaces where needed, then systematically pack room by room. Fragile items are wrapped individually, boxes are correctly filled and reinforced, and everything is clearly labelled with room and contents for easy unloading.

4. Loading & Transport (If Using Our Removals Service)

If you have also booked our removals service, we then load the boxes and items into our vehicles. Boxes are stacked securely and strapped as required, with heavier boxes at the bottom and delicate, clearly marked items placed with extra care. Our professional drivers then transport your possessions to the new address or storage facility.

5. Unloading & Placement

At your destination, we unload boxes into the right rooms as per their labels. This saves you time and effort and makes unpacking far more manageable. We can also take away surplus packing materials at the end, by arrangement, to keep your new space clear.

Transparent Pricing – How Our Package and Boxes Costs Work

We keep pricing straightforward so you know exactly what you are paying for:

• Boxes and materials – priced per item or in discounted bundles
• Packing labour – usually charged by the hour or as a fixed fee for full packs
• Optional removals – quoted separately, so you can choose the support you need

Your quote will list box types and quantities, packing materials, and estimated time for any packing services. There are no hidden charges; if the scope needs to change, we discuss it with you before proceeding.

Why Use Professional Packers Instead of Doing It Yourself?

Many people start packing themselves and quickly realise how time-consuming and physically demanding it can be. Professional packing offers several key advantages:

• Reduced risk of damage – correct box sizes, weight distribution and wrapping
• Time savings – a trained team can pack a typical property in a fraction of the time
• Less stress – you avoid last-minute rushing and poorly packed boxes
• Better organisation – consistent labelling and logical room-by-room packing

Compared with casual man-and-van services, we provide trained staff, quality-grade materials, and proper insurance, which significantly improves protection for your belongings.

Insurance and Professional Standards

Man and Van Surrey operates to professional removals standards and backs this up with appropriate cover and training.

• Goods in transit insurance – covers your belongings while they are being moved in our vehicles, subject to policy terms
• Public liability cover – protection in the unlikely event of accidental damage to property or third parties
• Trained moving teams – our staff are experienced in safe lifting, packing techniques and care of fragile items

We’ll explain how insurance applies to your specific job so you know what is and is not covered, and we are always happy to answer detailed questions.

Care, Protection and Sustainability

Every move in Surrey is handled as if it were our own. We use padding, wraps and appropriate box types to keep items safe, and we never over-pack boxes to the point of risk. Where possible, we offer reusable crates and responsibly sourced packing materials, and we encourage re-use of boxes or arrange collection for recycling where practical. Our goal is to balance robust protection with minimising waste.

Real-World Uses for Our Package and Boxes Service

Moving House

For house moves, we can provide a full pack, part-pack (for kitchens and fragile items only), or just deliver materials for you to do it yourself. In every case, you benefit from strong, purpose-made boxes and proven packing methods.

Office Relocation

Businesses relocating within or out of Surrey rely on us for well-labelled archive boxes, secure packing of IT equipment and organised desk-by-desk packing to keep operations running smoothly.

Urgent or Last-Minute Moves

Sometimes dates change unexpectedly. Where availability allows, we offer rapid delivery of boxes and can deploy a packing team at short notice to help you meet tight deadlines without sacrificing care.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does the Package and Boxes service cost?

Costs depend mainly on how many boxes you need, the type of materials required, and whether you want our team to pack for you. We can supply boxes alone at competitive prices, or offer full packing, which adds labour based on property size and access. During your enquiry, we’ll discuss your situation and provide a clear written quote, breaking down materials and labour separately so you can choose the right level of help for your budget.

Can you provide boxes and packing at short notice or same day?

We do our best to accommodate urgent requests in Surrey. Same-day or next-day box delivery and packing support may be possible, depending on our schedule and stock levels. If you’re working to a tight timescale, contact us as early as you can and explain your deadline. We’ll confirm what we can realistically provide, prioritise essential rooms if needed, and make sure you know exactly when our team will arrive and what will be completed.

Are my belongings insured while being packed and moved?

When you use our packing and removals service together, your items are typically covered by our goods in transit insurance while in our vehicles, plus public liability cover for accidental damage to property. As with any insurance, certain exclusions and limits apply, particularly for high-value or delicate items. We recommend you tell us about anything especially valuable so we can advise on extra protection or documentation. We’re always happy to talk you through how our cover works in plain language.

What exactly is included in a professional packing and boxes service?

Our service can be tailored, but usually includes supply of strong removal boxes, packing paper, bubble wrap, tape, and covers for mattresses or furniture as needed. If you choose full or part-packing, our trained staff will wrap and pack items, seal boxes correctly, and label them by room and contents. We can also dismantle simple furniture, protect fragile items individually, and organise items for storage if required. You decide whether you want materials only, or materials plus packing labour.

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

A casual man-and-van service often expects you to supply your own boxes and pack everything yourself, with limited or no insurance, variable standards and little planning. With Man and Van Surrey’s dedicated Package and Boxes service, you get purpose-made materials, professional packing techniques, clear labelling and documented plans. Our teams are fully insured and properly trained, and we take responsibility for the safety and organisation of your belongings, which can save you time, stress and the cost of avoidable damage.

How far in advance should I book packing and box delivery?

Ideally, we recommend getting in touch at least two to three weeks before your move date, particularly for larger properties or peak times such as month-ends. This gives us time to carry out a survey if needed, plan the packing schedule and ensure the right quantity of materials. However, we understand that moves can come together quickly, so if your timescale is tighter, still contact us. We’ll be honest about our availability and work with you to prioritise key areas where professional packing will help most.
