At London Storage, we specialise in providing high‑quality packages and boxes for every type of move in London. As an experienced removals and storage company, we know that strong, properly sized boxes and the right packing materials are the foundation of a smooth, damage‑free move.
Professional Packing Boxes and Materials for London Moves
Whether you are planning a full house move, a flat clear‑out, an office relocation or placing items into storage, we supply the boxes and packing materials you actually need – not a generic bundle that leaves you short. Our range is chosen and tested by our own professional moving teams, so you can be confident it will stand up to real‑world handling, stacking and transport.

How Our Package and Boxes Service Works
We follow a simple, structured process so you get exactly the right materials at the right time.
1. Enquiry & Quote
You contact us with a brief outline of your move: property size, number of rooms, and any special items. Based on this, we recommend a suitable box package or a tailored list of materials, along with clear pricing. We can email your quote so you have everything in writing.
2. Survey (Virtual or Onsite)
For larger homes or more complex moves, we may suggest a quick virtual or onsite survey. This allows us to see how much needs packing, identify fragile or awkward items, and refine the quantities of boxes and materials. You avoid both over‑ordering and running out halfway through packing.
3. Packing & Preparation
You can either pack yourself using our boxes and materials, or combine them with our professional packing service. If we are packing, our trained teams will label boxes clearly, protect fragile items, and prepare everything for safe loading and stacking. If you are packing, we provide simple guidance on how best to fill and seal the boxes.
4. Loading & Transport
When your moving day arrives, our removals crews work with the boxes supplied. Because the boxes are uniform, strong and correctly sized, loading is quicker, stacking is safer, and your goods are better protected during transit. Our vehicles are equipped with blankets and securing straps to keep everything stable.
5. Unloading & Placement
At your new property or storage unit, our team unloads and places boxes into the correct rooms, following labels and your instructions. Good labelling and consistent box sizes make this stage more efficient and reduce the risk of items being misplaced.
Transparent Pricing for Boxes and Packing Materials
We keep our pricing straightforward and fair. Typical options include:
- Pre‑built box bundles for one‑bed, two‑bed, three‑bed and larger homes
- Item‑by‑item pricing for individual boxes and materials
- Business and landlord bulk rates for larger orders
Your quote will include a full breakdown of quantities and prices, so you know exactly what you are paying for. There are no hidden charges for standard delivery within our normal London operating area, and we will confirm any additional costs in advance for urgent or out‑of‑area deliveries.
Why Choose Professional Packaging Instead of DIY Boxes
Using proper removal‑grade boxes and materials from a professional provider is a small investment that can prevent costly damage and stress. Supermarket or recycled boxes are often weak, irregular in size and prone to collapsing when stacked in a van or storage unit. Our cartons are designed specifically for moving – double‑walled where needed, consistent in size, and easy to carry.
Combined with our packing guidance, they help protect your belongings, speed up loading and unloading, and reduce the risk of injury from over‑filled or poorly balanced boxes. For businesses, professional packing materials also support better organisation and minimise downtime.
Insurance and Professional Standards
As a full removals and storage company, we operate to recognised industry standards. Our moves are backed by goods in transit insurance and public liability cover, giving you reassurance that your belongings are properly protected while in our care.
When our trained packing teams use our materials, we are able to take full responsibility for the way your items are prepared and loaded. Where you choose to self‑pack, our insurance position is slightly different, but we still provide clear guidance on best practice so you can pack as safely as possible.
Care, Protection and Sustainability
We aim to balance high levels of protection with a responsible approach to materials. Our boxes are recyclable, and many customers choose to reuse them for storage or pass them on after their move. We encourage reuse where practical and can advise how to flatten and store boxes so they last.
For wrapping and protection, we use quality materials that actually do the job – from bubble wrap to furniture covers – rather than thin or single‑use products that fail under pressure. Where more sustainable options are available and suitable, we will always highlight them.
Real‑World Uses for Our Package and Boxes Service
Moving House in London
From studio flats to family homes, our box kits and packing materials are designed to match typical London properties. Narrow staircases, communal entrances and limited parking mean boxes must be robust and easy to handle. We plan quantities around your actual space and contents.
Office and Business Relocations
For businesses, we supply uniform boxes for files, stock and equipment, plus options such as computer boxes and archive cartons. Properly packed and labelled boxes help your teams get back to work quickly at the new site, with minimal disruption.
Storage and Decluttering Projects
If you are putting items into storage, strong, consistent boxes make stacking safer and more space‑efficient. We can advise on the best mix of sizes to maximise your unit and protect items when stored for longer periods.
Urgent and Short‑Notice Moves
For last‑minute moves, we can usually arrange fast delivery of essential boxes and packing materials across London. Having the right supplies quickly can make the difference between a rushed, stressful move and a manageable one.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much do your boxes and packaging cost?
Prices depend on the size and quantity of boxes you need, plus any additional materials such as bubble wrap or furniture covers. We offer preset kits for typical one‑bed, two‑bed and three‑bed properties, which often work out more cost‑effective than buying items individually. For larger homes, landlords or businesses, we can create a tailored list with transparent, itemised pricing. Once we know roughly how much you are moving, we will provide a written quote so you can see the full breakdown before you commit.
Can you supply boxes for same‑day or urgent moves?
In many parts of London we can arrange same‑day or next‑day supply of essential moving boxes and packing materials, subject to stock and scheduling. If your move is very short notice, call us as early as possible so we can check availability and advise realistically what we can deliver and when. Even a small starter kit of strong boxes, tape and packing paper can help you tackle the most fragile or valuable items first, making an urgent move more manageable.
Are my belongings insured if I use your boxes?
When our professional teams both pack and move your items using our materials, they are covered under our standard goods in transit insurance, subject to our terms and conditions. If you choose to pack yourself using our boxes, the materials themselves are of removals standard, but we have less control over how items are wrapped and packed, so insurance cover may differ. We will always explain the position clearly and can provide simple packing guidance so you can minimise the risk of damage.
What is included in your package and boxes service?
Our service provides removal‑grade cardboard boxes in a range of sizes, plus optional extras such as wardrobe cartons, archive boxes, bubble wrap, packing paper, tape and protective covers. We can supply either preset box kits based on property size or a completely tailored package. Delivery within our usual London area, where applicable, will be confirmed at the quote stage. Packing labour and crate hire are not included as standard, but we can arrange these separately if you require a full packing and moving service.
Why not just use free or supermarket boxes instead?
Free boxes and supermarket cartons are rarely designed for the weight and handling involved in a move. They are often single‑walled, different sizes and already weakened by previous use. This makes them harder to stack safely in a van or storage unit, and more likely to crush or split under load. Our removal‑grade boxes are designed to be strong, stackable and easy to carry, which protects your belongings, speeds up loading and unloading, and reduces the chance of accidents or breakages.
How far in advance should I order my boxes?
We generally recommend ordering your boxes and packing materials at least one to two weeks before your planned move date. This gives you enough time to pack methodically, sort and declutter, and avoid last‑minute stress. For peak periods such as the end of the month or during summer, earlier is always better, especially for larger homes or business relocations. If your plans change, we can usually adjust quantities or arrange top‑up deliveries, subject to availability in our London schedule.
