Packing for your removal

Our customers frequently choose our full or partial packing services, but many also choose to self pack for their removal. Packing your belongings can be a way to save a bit of the cost of moving - but only if you do it correctly. If you don't pack your belongings well, they can break or become misplaced, costing you more in the long run through buying replacement items. And, of course, some things just can't be replaced.

Removal boxes

Having good removal boxes is the first step to ensuring your packing and removal day goes well. We will advise you on boxes for your removal at the time you book to ensure you have enough of the right cartons for your needs. If you're not moving with us, you can purchase removals boxes from Britannia Bradshaw. 

Buy removal boxes & packing materials

You don't need to be moving with Britannia Bradshaw to buy our home moving boxes and supplies. We sell our sturdy, clean boxes in various sizes, wardrobe cartons, as well as bubble wrap and tape.

There's no minimum purchase - you can buy one box or buy enough for your entire house to be packed away, the choice is yours.

Home delivery is available - If you drive a very small car or don't drive at all, we can bring the boxes and supplies to you for a small fee. Please ask our representatives for more information on delivery costs for your cartons and supplies.

Don't overfill your boxes

Although our removals crews are fully trained and experienced in handling and removals, they are still just humans. Please don't make the boxes too heavy for them to carry. A good rule of thumb is if you can't pick up the box, neither can they. Pack light items such as bedding and linens in large boxes, and heavy items such as books in smaller boxes. And don't be afraid to put your cushions and pillows in with your heavier items - you can save space that way, and the boxes are still light enough to be picked up easily.

No hazardous materials

Our insurance doesn't allow us to carry hazardous materials such as paint and other liquids. You'll need to arrange for these items to be moved yourself. We suggest putting them into a plastic container before attempting to transport hazardous materials.

Very professional, efficient, helpful, considerate and good fun

Do you have any comments about our removals crew?
John, Adrian, Alan, Gareth and Adam were very professional, efficient, helpful, considerate and good fun making the stress of moving much more relaxing. We were just glad we could help with their fitness going up 46 steps to the flat with all the furniture and boxes.

Why did you use us?
More professional than other quotes we received. Martin did a great job convincing us that he knew what he was doing and therefore your company. We did not regret our decision at all.

Quick, friendly, polite, efficient

Just to let you know that everything went well today. Paul and Luke were absolutely great. I cannot recommend them highly enough. They were quick, friendly, polite, efficient. They were very careful in their work. The company should be proud to have them working for it, and you too Jacki. I would definitely recommend the company because of all of you,and not to forget Martin too.

I hope all the employees in the company are like you four (Paul, Lucas, Jacki, Martin).

Thank you very much

Do you have any comments about our removals crew?
They were excellent

Where can we improve our removals day experience?
Everything was perfect apart from the fact I had labelled all boxes top and side and the removal men didn’t stack the boxes in the garage with the labels facing. This meant that we had to turn each box around to see what number it was.
