Southampton covers a lot of ground, so we price packing & unpacking from the job in front of us — the property, the access at both ends and the distance between them — not from the city name. The same published rate card applies wherever in Southampton you are.

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.

How packing & unpacking works, in full

With every move

Goods in Transit coverIncluded on every move, not sold as an add-on.
Public Liability coverIn place on every job, at home or at work.
Our own crewEvery mover is employed by AFS. We never pass your move to a subcontractor.
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.

Before moving day

Before moving day in Southampton

Three things that decide how a move runs at any address. Tell us about them when you ask for a quote.

Parking at both addresses
Is there somewhere a van can legally stop close to the door? If a bay needs suspending, the council will want notice — often a week or more.
Floors, stairs and lifts
Which floor, and does a lift take furniture? Stairs are charged by the flight from the first floor up, and a working lift removes the charge.
The carry to the door
A long walk from the van, a narrow gate or a tight stairwell changes the time a job takes. Tell us, and it is planned rather than found.

Packing & Unpacking in Southampton: common questions

Do you cover all of Southampton?

Yes. We cover all of Southampton and the rest of Hampshire, 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 Southampton?

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 Southampton from your nearest office?

About 71 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 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.
