A typical two-bedroom flat full pack costs between £200 and £350 including materials. A four-bedroom house full pack ranges from £450 to £750. Partial packing of fragile items only starts from £80.
All quotes are fixed-price once confirmed, with no hidden charges. Request a free survey for the most accurate price.
Do you offer same day packing and courier services in Manchester?
Yes. Our same day courier Manchester service is available seven days a week for urgent collections and deliveries across Rusholme and Greater Manchester. For same day packing, we require a minimum of three hours' notice and subject to crew availability.
Message us directly in the live chat for urgent requests rather than using the online form, since live chat gets a faster response. Same day rates apply and will be confirmed before dispatch.
Are my belongings insured during packing and transit?
Yes. Every booking includes £500 of goods-in-transit cover free, with £3,000 Plus cover available for £12. Items packed by our crew are covered under our standard policy. Items packed by the customer are covered for transit damage but not packing-related breakage.
For high-value items such as antiques, artwork, or jewellery, we recommend declaring these in advance so we can arrange appropriate specialist cover.
How far in advance should I book packing services in Rusholme?
We recommend booking at least two weeks in advance for a standard residential move in Rusholme. During peak periods (July, August, and end of month dates) we suggest four weeks' notice. For commercial moves or large properties, six weeks is preferable to allow for a free survey visit.
Last-minute bookings are sometimes possible depending on availability, particularly for partial packing or same day courier requests. Contact us as early as possible to secure your preferred date.
Can you pack just my fragile items and leave the rest?
Absolutely. Our partial packing service is designed exactly for this. You pack clothing, books, and everyday items yourself, and our team focuses on china, glassware, artwork, mirrors, electronics, and any other fragile or high-value items. Partial packing typically takes two to four hours depending on volume.
It is a cost-effective way to get professional protection where it matters most without paying for a full pack. Materials for the fragile items are included in the price.
Do you provide packing services for student moves in Rusholme?
Yes. Student and shared house moves are a regular part of our Rusholme work. We offer flexible booking including evenings and weekends, which suits end-of-term schedules. We are used to coordinating in shared properties where multiple tenants are packing simultaneously. If your new student accommodation is not available on the same day, we offer short-term storage at our Manchester facility.
Student move rates are competitive and available on request.
What areas near Rusholme do you also cover for packing services?
