Professional, Fully Insured House Packing
Packing is the part most people dread. It takes far longer than you expect, one wrong box means broken plates, and it has to happen while you're still living in the house.
Our professional packing service takes all of that off your plate. Next Removals provides full and partial packing services across Manchester and Greater Manchester. We bring everything — the boxes, the bubble wrap, the tape, the paper — and we pack your home properly so nothing gets damaged when we execute your house removals in Manchester.
Add packing to your removal booking or book it as a standalone service. If you're currently preparing for a move, check out our full list of areas we serve. To keep your mail organized during the move, we also suggest setting up the Royal Mail Change of Address redirection service prior to your moving day.
Our Packing Service Options
We offer three levels of packing service depending on how much help you need, plus a standalone materials supply option.
Full Packing Service
Effortless, seamless moving day experience
We pack everything. Every room, every shelf, every drawer. You carry on with your day while our team works through your home methodically. We label every box clearly by room so unpacking at the other end is straightforward. This is the option if you want moving day to feel effortless.
Part Packing Service
A balanced blend of saving money & structural safety
You handle the easy stuff — clothes, books, bedding — and we take care of the items that need proper attention. Kitchen contents, glassware, china, artwork, electronics. The things that are most likely to get damaged if they're not packed correctly. A popular choice that saves money while protecting what matters most.
Fragile-Only Packing
Dedicated security for your delicate valuables
Just the breakables. We come in and wrap and pack everything fragile — ornaments, wine glasses, mirrors, picture frames — and leave everything else for you. Ideal if you're mostly packed but worried about the delicate items.
Packing Materials Supply
Premium industry-grade moving supplies delivered hot
Prefer to pack yourself? We supply professional-grade boxes, bubble wrap, packing paper, and tape — delivered directly to your door before your move.
What We Pack and How We Do It
Our team is trained in professional packing methods. That means more than putting things in boxes.
Kitchen and Glassware
Glasses and crockery get individually wrapped in packing paper and cushioned in double-walled boxes. Plates are packed vertically, not flat.
Fragile Ornaments and Artwork
Wrapped in bubble wrap, boxed securely, clearly labelled FRAGILE. Nothing loose, nothing rattling.
Electronics
Screens and devices wrapped in anti-static bubble wrap. Where original boxes are unavailable, we use purpose-sized cartons.
Clothing and Soft Furnishings
Wardrobe boxes for hanging clothes so they travel wrinkle-free. Bedding in large, sealed bags.
Furniture Protection
Wrapped in furniture blankets before it moves. Flat-pack items dismantled and re-wrapped for transit if needed.
Books and Heavy Items
Small, sturdy boxes only. Properly filled and sealed to prevent collapse.
Every box we pack gets labelled with its contents and its destination room. That makes the unpack at your new home far faster and less chaotic.
How Much Does a Packing Service Cost in Manchester?
Packing is charged in addition to your removal. The cost depends on the size of your home and which level of packing you choose.
All materials included: There are no separate charges for boxes, tape, or bubble wrap — it's all in your quote.
Locked-in upfront rate: We give you a fixed price before we start, so you know exactly what you're paying.
Why Professional Packing is Worth It
Most people underestimate how long packing takes. A three-bedroom house can take 15 to 20 hours to pack properly if you're doing it yourself — spread across evenings and weekends while you're still living in it.
Our professional team can pack the same home in a fraction of the time. And because we do this every day, we pack more securely than most people would themselves.
There's also an insurance angle worth knowing: if items are professionally packed by the removal company, they're covered under our goods in transit insurance. If you pack your own items and something breaks, that coverage can be limited. Packing with us gives your belongings proper protection from start to finish.
Risks of Self-Packing
A few other things that are easy to get wrong when packing yourself, completely avoided by choosing our professional pack team:
- 1 Boxes too heavy to lift safely
- 2 Fragile items packed flat or without enough cushioning
- 3 Unlabelled boxes that make unpacking a nightmare
- 4 Items that should be dismantled left assembled — and damaged in transit
- 5 Running out of materials on the night before the move
