More about this service
The move itself is priced separately.
Packing is more than boxes: kitchens, glassware, mirrors, TVs, and labels so unloading goes faster. We pack across London, including Ilford, and for moves anywhere in the UK. It works well with crate hire or a full house removal.
Email room photos, anything fragile and your move date, and we will confirm the plan.
Giga Removals moves homes and businesses across the UK from a London base.

Where we operate
Packing services across London — including Ilford
We pack homes all over London, including Ilford, Stratford, Hackney, Croydon, Islington and West London, and for moves anywhere in the UK. See all areas.
Houses, flats and small offices. Full pack, partial pack or fragile-only, depending on your timeline.
We can supply boxes and paper, or combine packing with plastic crate hire for books and pantry loads.
Local tip
Kitchens and glassware take longest, so start there. Email room photos with your postcode for a quick estimate.
Need boxes as well as hands? Packing and crate hire can go on one booking, and both pair with house removals, flat removals and office moves.
Moving out of London? We pack and move homes across the UK at the same rates.
