Everything you need to know about professional packing services in Dundee: full-service packing vs fragile-only packing, material standards, and pricing transparency.
Full House Packing vs Fragile-Only Packing
Packing up an entire family home takes an average of 40 to 60 hours for a working family. Dundee Movers offers two bespoke packing tiers designed to eliminate moving stress: - **Full House Packing Service:** Our certified crew arrives 24 to 48 hours prior to your move date with all materials (double-walled cartons, acid-free tissue, heavy-duty tape, and bubble wrap). We systematically wrap, pack, and label every room from the kitchen pantry to the attic. - **Fragile-Only Packing:** Perfect for customers who prefer to pack their own clothes and books, but want professional peace of mind for porcelain dinner sets, crystal glassware, oil paintings, mirrors, and delicate heirlooms.
- Choose Fragile-Only packing if you want to keep costs down while fully protecting delicate items.
- All packing materials supplied and packed by our team are 100% covered under our comprehensive Goods in Transit insurance policy.
Commercial-Grade Packing Materials Used
Standard supermarket or single-wall postal boxes easily buckle when stacked inside a removals van. We supply only commercial-grade materials: - **Double-Wall Corrugated Cartons:** Heavy-gauge boxes that stack safely up to the van ceiling without crushing contents. - **Acid-Free Tissue & Newsprint:** Prevents ink transfer onto fine bone china, glazed ceramics, and silverware. - **Porta-Robe Tall Wardrobe Boxes:** Fitted with metal hanging rails so suits, evening dresses, and winter coats transfer directly from your wardrobe without creasing or needing ironing. - **Anti-Static Screen Covers & Mattress Wraps:** Heavy-duty 400-gauge waterproof hygiene seals protecting mattresses from stairwell dust and damp Scottish weather.
