Packing & Unpacking in Chelsea usually comes down to access: where the van can legally stop, how many flights of stairs there are, and whether the lift takes furniture. Tell us those when you ask for a quote and they are priced in writing — not discovered on the day.

We pack the whole home, or just the things you would rather not pack yourself. The crew brings the boxes, wrap and wardrobe cartons, and a packing package covers labour and materials in one published price.

One named coordinatorYour single point of contact, from the quote to the last box.

We bring the materials. Boxes, tape, bubble wrap and wardrobe cartons arrive with the crew and are itemised in your quote, so there is nothing to buy or collect first.

Council rules

What the council says about moving day in Chelsea

Published by the authorities themselves, with a link to each. Rules and fees change, so check the source before you rely on them.

Reserving space outside the property: Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea
The Royal Borough asks for 10 working days' notice to suspend a permit parking bay and two working days for a pay-by-phone bay. Permit-bay applications made five days or fewer before the start date may be considered at the council's discretion, with short-notice charges on top. Applications must arrive before 3pm on a working day, and payment in full is needed before the suspension is approved and signs go up.
RBKC: notice periods and requirements for parking suspensions
ULEZ covers every London borough
The Ultra Low Emission Zone has covered all London boroughs since 29 August 2023. A van that does not meet the ULEZ emissions standard is charged for each day it is driven inside the zone, so ask whichever company you book which vehicle will be used and check it with TfL's vehicle checker.

Packing & Unpacking in Chelsea: common questions

Do you cover all of Chelsea?

Yes. We cover all of Chelsea and the rest of Greater London, and we move people to and from anywhere in the UK. A long-distance move is priced from the same rate card as a local one — it just has more miles on it.

What are your prices for packing & unpacking in Chelsea?

The same as everywhere we work — our rates do not change by postcode. For example, 3-bedroom home: £1,000 (3 packers, up to 6 hours, materials allowance included). Labour and a set allowance of boxes, tape and wrap in one price. The move itself is quoted separately from the hourly rate card; packages run to seven bedrooms. Your itemised written quote arrives within 24 hours.

How far is Chelsea from your nearest office?

About 5 miles from our London office. The time in your quote runs from the crew's arrival at your address, and the mileage is worked out from the road distance between your two addresses.

Do I need to arrange parking for moving day in Chelsea?

Often, yes. The council rules we have found for Chelsea are listed on this page with links to the official pages, including how much notice a parking suspension needs. Tell us what you have arranged when you book, and we plan the vehicle around it.

Do I have to pay for boxes and materials?

Yes, but you never have to source them. A packing package includes an allowance of boxes, tape, bubble wrap and wardrobe cartons in its price. If you are packing yourself, the crew can bring materials and they are itemised in your quote.

Can I book packing for the fragile items only?

Yes. Fragile-only packing covers glass, china, artwork, mirrors and anything else you would rather have wrapped professionally, while you pack the rest yourself.

Will boxes be labelled for the right room?

Yes. Boxes are labelled for the room they are going to at the new address, which is what makes unloading a directed job rather than a guessing game.
