Packing service

Experienced & Trained Packing Professionals

Your move deserves professional packing with the best materials available, whether it is fine art, vehicles, office equipment or furniture.

Our approach

What Makes Us the Packing Professionals

We wrap each item of furniture individually in plain white paper and flat sheet, with corrugated paper on international moves and Pack Mats on domestic moves, to protect the corners and edges most likely to be damaged.

  • Paintings and mirrors are wrapped, then enclosed in a tailor-made box or crate.
  • Double-walled cartons range from small crockery boxes to clothing and linen cartons.
  • Specialised cartons are available for flat-screen televisions and bicycles.
  • Fragile items are wrapped separately in white paper before being covered in bubble wrap.
  • To save you money, we make the best use of every available space in the container or truck.
  • All packing is carefully supervised, so your items are in the best hands.

Furniture, wrapped piece by piece

Packing and fine art

Biddulphs packs and moves antiques and fine art for dealers and customers, nationally and overseas. Packing is tailored to each item with specialised wrapping and cushioning, and purpose-built crates or cases are made when required.

Motor vehicles

On moves within the country, vehicles travel on specialised car transporters. For international moves, we load your vehicle into a container and build a custom frame around it, which protects it and uses the container space efficiently.

We will advise you in advance of the current requirements of your destination country. Your vehicle must comply with that country’s legal requirements and you need permission to import it.

Packing in containers

Whatever the size of your shipment, other than air shipments, a shipping container is used.

  • We make sure your container is clean and watertight before we load it.
  • If you use only part of a container, your quotation is for a groupage or shared container, based on the volume you take up.
