Question 3

Can you give us a rough idea how long the packing process will take ?

Accepted Answer

Obviously every situation is quite different and we are happy to visit your site to give you an estimate on your individual project.

Depending on the size of your move, we will allocate anywhere between 2-6 members of our crew to help you get packed up.

We plan to get all homes packed in one day and hence utilise anywhere from 2 to 6 crew members on any one project.

The hours below are estimated total billable hours. For example for a large four bedroom home this could be 6 crew members for 8hrs each so a total of 48 billable hours.

Timings will vary according to number of items, amount of fragiles including artwork, overall cleanliness of property etc.

This table gives you a rough guide to Wrap & Pack your move:

Property type                Billable hours

One bedroom apartment            4 – 6 hours

Two bedroom house                    6 – 18 hours

Three bedroom house                 18 – 32 hours

Four bedroom house                   32 – 48 hours
