Materials that suit the contents

Hornes supplies boxes, tape, bubble wrap, wrapping paper, wardrobes and mattress bags. Ask the team which materials suit the items you are moving and how much to order. Reusing a box is sensible only when it is clean, dry and strong enough for another journey.

A little organisation goes a long way

Pack heavier items in smaller boxes and keep each box manageable. Fill gaps so items do not move around inside, seal the base properly and label the top and side with the destination room. Mark fragile contents and keep an inventory of boxes that will go into storage.

Choose where you need help

You may be comfortable packing everyday belongings but prefer help with china, artwork or awkward pieces. Tell us what you plan to pack and what you want us to handle so the quote reflects that division. Keep medicines, personal documents, jewellery and essential overnight items with you.
