Packing Services in Old Market Bristol — FAQs
What does a professional packing service in Old Market Bristol include?
Our packing service covers the supply of all materials — boxes, tape, bubble wrap, tissue paper, wardrobe boxes, and packing paper — plus the labour to pack every room safely. We wrap fragile items individually, label all boxes by room and contents, and prepare everything for loading.
You can choose full packing, where we pack the entire property, or part-packing if you prefer to handle some items yourself.
How much do packing services cost in Old Market, Bristol?
Pricing depends on the size of your property, the volume of belongings, and if you need full or part-packing. A one-bedroom flat typically starts from around £200-£350 for packing, while larger homes cost more. We provide a free itemised quote after a brief consultation.
There are no hidden charges — materials, labour, and VAT are all included in the price we give you.
How far in advance should I book packing services in Old Market?
We recommend booking at least 2 weeks in advance to secure your preferred date, especially at busy times like end of month or during the summer moving season. That said, we do take last-minute bookings when availability allows. Contact us as soon as you know your moving date and we'll do our best to accommodate you, even on short notice.
Can you pack and move on the same day in Old Market?
Yes, same-day packing and removal is our most popular option. Our team arrives in the morning, packs the property, and loads the van — typically completing a two-bedroom flat within 4-6 hours. Larger homes may require a packing day followed by a removal day.
We'll advise on the most efficient plan when you get your quote so there are no surprises on moving day.
Do you offer moving van hire in Bristol separately from packing?
Yes. If you'd rather pack yourself and just need the vehicle and driver, our moving van hire bristol service gives you exactly that. You get a large removal van with a trained driver who loads, secures, and unloads your belongings.
It's a cost-effective option for those who are comfortable doing their own packing and want professional transport without the full removal team price.

Are my belongings insured during packing and removal?
Yes. Giant Van carries full goods-in-transit insurance covering your belongings throughout the packing and removal process. We also hold public liability insurance. For high-value or irreplaceable items such as antiques, artwork, or specialist equipment, we recommend discussing additional specialist cover at the time of booking. We'll document any items of particular concern before packing begins so everything is properly recorded.
