Define the packing work before move day
Walk through the property and list the rooms and belongings that need packing. Separate fragile items, artwork, electronics and unusually shaped pieces so their handling can be discussed. Identify items you plan to pack yourself and belongings that should remain unpacked or travel separately.
Ask for the material type, quantities, delivery or collection arrangements and charges to be confirmed in writing, and whether any packing labour is being priced separately. Material charges do not by themselves describe the cost of a packing service.
Share both postcodes, the preferred date and access details, then ask for the packing tasks, materials, exclusions and charges to be set out in writing. Keep essential documents, medication and items you need immediately accessible and outside the packed inventory.
In W2 that plays out against Paddington's own streets: the district notes on this page record the stock and access that shape the plan, from Bayswater, Edgware Road, Lancaster Gate to the streets at the district's edge.

Best house removal company around. The team at Vano Removals was punctual, hard-working, and handled our furniture with great care. If you need reliable, stress-free local movers or packing services, I highly recommend them.
Vano Removals moved our 2-bed flat from Croydon to Sutton last week. The two-man crew arrived on time, wrapped the sofa and TV properly, and finished quicker than I expected. Nothing was damaged. Booking was simple and the final price matched the written quote. Would use them again.
