Packing Services
Skill and care are required to wrap, pack and load your possessions safely,
protecting them throughout your move. Pickfords has always been at the
forefront of researching and developing new packing materials that offer the
maximum protection during your move. All packing materials are tried and
tested before being implemented as standard.
Protecting your home
Special carpet and banister protectors are used to protect areas of your home
that are vulnerable during the move.
China and glass
All fragile and breakable items are individually wrapped in white paper and
placed in protective cartons. Extremely fragile items may require the
additional protection of bubble wrap and polychips.
Silver
Acid free paper is used to protect silver from potential tarnishing.
Furniture
Multi-layered woven blanket is used to protect your furniture from dents,
scuffs and marks.
White goods
Specially designed, padded appliance covers are used to protect your kitchen
appliances.
Glass table tops
Furniture that requires added protection is wrapped in blanket or bubble
blanket for maximum protection. Glass tabletops are individually wrapped in
card and bubble blanket.
Books
Books are packed to British Library Standards, so older books are packed spine
down and new books are packed flat.
Computer equipment
Your computer equipment is wrapped in anti-static bubble wrap to ensure
complete protection during the move.
Your three-piece suite
Your suite will be wrapped in specially designed suite covers to avoid marks
and tears occurring.
Paintings, pictures and mirrors
Glass fronted pictures, fragile mirrors and paintings are wrapped in card and
bubble wrap. Very fragile or valuable items may be crated if necessary.
TVs and stereo systems
Your TV and stereo system will be protected by bubble wrap during transit.
Mattresses
Specially designed mattress bags will be used to protect your mattresses from
damage and to keep them dry during wet weather.
Clothing
Clothing can be transported in specially designed, railed, hanging wardrobe
boxes to prevent any creasing.
Other clothing and linen
Linen and clothing less likely to crease will be flat packed in linen cartons.
Specialist items
Pianos and grandfather clocks will be prepared for transport by trained moving
teams. Pickfords has the necessary equipment and expertise to move even
the heaviest of items.

friendly and make use of sustainable resources, wherever possible.
