Packing a 4-Bed Burnham Detached — The Professional Timeline
How our Burnham packing crew packs a 4-bed detached in 1.5 days. Materials, room-by-room strategy, fragile-items protocol — from HomeGo HQ.
A 4-bed detached in Burnham, Farnham Common or Beaconsfield typically has 600–900 cubic feet of contents. Our Burnham packing crew gets it done in 1.5 working days. Here's the breakdown.
Day 1 — non-essentials (6 hours)
- Loft, garage, shed, attic bedrooms
- Seasonal clothing, books, ornaments
- Artwork and mirrors into custom cardboard
- Wardrobes packed last so clothes stay hung until D-1
Day 2 morning — everyday items (3.5 hours)
- Kitchen: 5-6 large double-wall boxes with specialist dishpack
- Master bedroom + bathroom
- Children's rooms (clearly labelled CHILD-ROOM-NAME)
- Final "overnight box" left unsealed for last-minute additions
What we use
Double-wall Smurfit kappa boxes, 10-micron bubble wrap, acid-free tissue for artwork, 60gsm packing paper (never newspaper), and recyclable crates for breakables. All materials included — you don't buy boxes separately.

Frequently asked questions
How much extra is the packing service?
Typically £280–£580 for a 4-bed, on top of the move itself. Saves 20+ hours of DIY time and includes all materials.
Can I pack some rooms myself and you pack the rest?
Yes — "fragile-only" packing is £180–£320. We do the kitchen and china, you do the clothes and books.
What if something breaks during packing?
We are covered by £10k goods-in-transit insurance. Breakages during professional packing are replaced at full value.
Do you unpack at the other end?
Unpacking is a separate service, £180–£380 depending on volume. Most customers opt for boxes unpacked into rooms but contents self-unpacked.
Can you pack the day before a move?
Yes — this is our standard for 3-bed and 4-bed properties.
Do you pack paintings and antiques?
Yes — custom cardboard corners and acid-free tissue. Antique dealers regularly use our Burnham packing service.
