How we protect your belongings: Moving & packing services

Packing is tailored per item based on size, material, value and destination, a critical approach for long-distance and international moves where goods may be handled and stacked multiple times. Protective floor and door coverings are applied throughout the process to safeguard your home while movers pack for you.  

Our teams consist of professional movers and packers who deliver reliable, end-to-end support, including transport, customs, optional storage service and unpacking services.

Two standard professional packing methods explained 

When reviewing your quote, you may see terms like blanket wrap or full export wrap. These are professional packing methods chosen according to the type of move and handling requirements. 

Blanket wrap 

Used for robust furniture on road moves. Thick moving blankets prevent scratches and minor damage during loading and unloading. Ideal for shorter journeys. 

Full export wrap (FEW) 

Designed for international relocations and high-handling shipments. Each item is wrapped in multiple layers of export-grade materials, with attention to edges, corners and pressure points. Standard for sea and air freight and also applied to road moves involving multiple handling points or high-value effects.  

Your move manager will confirm the most suitable method. 

Export-grade packing in practice: fragile & high-value items 

Our packing demonstrations show how professional movers and packers handle real household moves using export-grade materials. 

Each item is packed individually. Furniture is protected at surfaces and structural points, electronics are secured for stacking, and fragile items like glassware, chinaware, artwork and mirrors are wrapped with layered protection to prevent movement and damage. 

This approach ensures safe delivery for local, long-distance and international moves while maintaining household packing services standards. 

Furniture assembly, disassembly & handyman services 

Whenever possible, furniture is moved in one piece to reduce handling. For built-in or oversized items, our movers provide handyman services to dismantle and reassemble large furniture like wardrobes, bunk beds or playground equipment. 

As shown in our packing videos, this may include removing table legs to pack items securely and efficiently. These specialist services require extra time and are planned and quoted separately.

Why professional packing matters for insurance coverage 

How belongings are packed directly affects insurance. Items packed by our professional packing teams qualify for comprehensive All-Risk coverage. Self-packed items are generally only covered for Total Loss coverage.  

For fragile, high-value or international moves, professional packing ensures both physical protection, using high-quality professional packing materials, and maximum insurance coverage.

Custom Crate for Motorbike

Custom crating for fragile or high-value items 

Some items require more than export wrapping. Custom-made crates are often essential for international relocations, especially for oversized, fragile, or high-value items that need maximum protection during transport. 

Each crate is built on site and tailored to the exact dimensions of the item - such as motorcycles, artwork, or delicate paintings. Items are carefully wrapped, secured inside the crate and protected from the very first handling point through to final delivery.
