Packing services in Surrey

Pack as much or as little as you want

Some folks want the whole house packed. Others just need a hand with the kitchen and the fragile stuff. You pick. We pack the full place, a few rooms, or nothing at all and just do the move. It’s your call, and we set it up before the truck shows up.

Glasses, plates, picture frames, that big mirror in the hallway, those break when they’re packed wrong. Our crew bubble wraps them, boxes them tight, then blanket-wraps and pads the bigger pieces before anything leaves your home. The same care we give IKEA, Cozey and Samsung freight goes into your stuff.

Packing pairs with any move we do. And like our moves, packing is billed on the actual hours worked. We break the rate down up front, so you know how it works before we start. No flat-rate guesses, no surprises at the door.

What’s included

What our packing service covers

Full-house packing

Want to skip the whole job? We do whole-house packing, every room, every closet, the garage too. We bring the boxes, tape, paper and bubble wrap. You come home to a packed house ready for the truck. Great for busy Surrey families who don’t have a free weekend to spare.

Kitchen and fragile packing

Short on time? Let us take the hard rooms. Kitchen packing and fragile item packing cover the dishes, glasses, stemware, and anything that chips or shatters. We bubble wrap each piece and pack it tight so it travels safe. You handle the easy boxes, we handle the ones that keep you up at night.

Unpacking and setup

Packing and unpacking go both ways. Once we’re at the new place, we can unpack and set up too. Boxes get emptied, breakables come out wrapped, and we haul the empty boxes and packing materials off. You settle into a Surrey home that’s ready to live in, not a maze of cardboard.

Packing cost

What affects your packing cost in Surrey

Packing is time-based, the same as every move we do. You pay for the actual hours the crew works, billed in 30-minute increments after the minimum charge. We break it all down up front, the hourly rate, the crew size, the materials. You see the math before the first box gets taped.

No two Surrey homes pack the same. A one-bedroom condo with 30 boxes is a different day than a four-bedroom house with a garage full of tools. Four things move the hours more than anything else.

How much we pack

Full-house packing is the biggest job. A two-bedroom home usually fills 60 to 80 boxes, and a four-bedroom can pass 120. Book us for the kitchen only and the hours drop fast.

The fragile share

Glass takes time to do right. A packed china cabinet can take one packer 2 hours on its own. Blanket-wrapping a Cozey sofa takes minutes. The more breakables, the more hours.

Access at both ends

Stairs, long carries and condo elevators all add minutes. In Surrey’s condo towers a booked service elevator keeps the clock moving. Waiting on one that wasn’t booked is paid time.

Unpacking and materials

Boxes, tape, paper and bubble wrap ride with us, so there’s no supply run. Add unpacking and setup at the new place and those hours go on the same clock, broken down the same way.

Want a real number for your place? Tell us your home size and what you want packed. We’ll walk you through the hourly math before you book, 7 days a week at (778) 242-2877.

Packing tips

10 packing tips from our Surrey packing crews

Packing some of it yourself? Here are the 10 tips our crews give Surrey customers every week. Each one saves time on moving day, and time is the whole bill.

1. Start 2 weeks out, one room a day

One room a day for 2 weeks beats one brutal weekend. Start where you live least, the guest room, the storage closet, the garage shelves. Leave the kitchen for last, you’ll use it until the end.

2. Book the elevator before the truck

Moving in or out of a condo? Most strata offices want 1 to 2 weeks of notice for a service elevator. Lock in a 2 to 3 hour window at both buildings before you confirm your move date.

3. Keep heavy boxes small

Books, tools and canned food go in small boxes, 40 pounds max. Anything heavier splits at the bottom or hurts the person carrying it. Save the big boxes for bedding, cushions and lampshades.

4. Label three ways

Room, contents, and FRAGILE where it counts. Write on two sides, never the top, so labels still show when boxes stack 4 high in the truck. Labelled boxes land in the right room on the first pass.

5. Empty flat-pack furniture first

We deliver for IKEA, so trust us here. Empty every Billy and Pax before it moves. A loaded flat-pack unit twists and the cam fittings let go. Empty, wrapped and carried upright, it arrives fine.

6. Wrap glasses one at a time

Two sheets of packing paper per glass, packed standing up, never on their sides. Plates ride on their edges with paper between each one. Shake the box gently. If nothing moves, it’s packed right.

7. Pack a first-night box

Kettle, phone chargers, medications, a change of clothes and toilet paper. Load it on the truck last so it comes off first. It saves you digging through 60 boxes at 9 pm.

8. Photograph your cables first

Take one photo of the back of your Samsung TV and your router before a single cord comes out. Bag the cables, tape the bag to the unit, and setup takes 5 minutes instead of an hour.

9. Defrost the fridge 24 hours ahead

Fridges and freezers need a full 24 hours to defrost and dry out, or they drip through the truck. Tape the doors shut for the drive and let it stand a few hours before you plug it back in.

10. Hand off the kitchen

If you only outsource one room, make it this one. A crew that packs daily boxes a kitchen in 2 to 3 hours. Most homeowners lose a full day to it. Two packers can box a whole two-bedroom home in 3 to 5 hours.

A recent Cloverdale packing job

Packing a Clayton Heights townhome, start to truck

Clayton Heights is wall-to-wall townhome complexes, mostly 2000s-onward builds off Fraser Highway and 188 Street. The homes are great. The streets are tight. Parking is a known headache out here, and realtors even warn buyers to be ready to walk a ways to the front door. So when we pack a three-level townhome in Clayton, the plan starts before a single box does.

We book the visitor and on-site loading spots ahead of time, because on these narrow streets you can’t just idle a truck in the lane. Then we work top down. Bedrooms and the upper closets first, breakables in the middle, kitchen last so you keep using it. Glasses get two sheets of paper each and ride standing up, plates on their edges, and the whole box gets a shake test before it’s taped. The flat-pack pieces, and there are always a few Billy and Pax units in a Clayton townhome, come apart and get wrapped, the same care we give IKEA freight every week.

A full three-level townhome pack like this runs a two-packer crew about 4 to 5 hours, billed on the actual time worked. We break the rate down up front, bring every box, roll of tape and sheet of bubble wrap, and haul the empties after. No flat-rate guess, no surprises at the door.

Packing Services FAQ

Questions we get about packing services

Do you offer packing services in Surrey?

Yes. Local Movers Ltd is based at 8567 164 St in Surrey and packs homes across the city, 7 days a week. We do full-house packing, partial packing, kitchen and fragile packing, plus unpacking and setup. Call (778) 242-2877 to set it up.

How much does packing cost?

Packing is billed on the actual hours worked. We break the rate down up front so you know how it works before we start. We don’t do flat-rate quotes and we won’t guess a number we can’t stand behind. Tell us what you need packed and we’ll walk you through it.

Can you pack just the kitchen or fragile items?

Yes. You pack as much or as little as you want. A lot of Surrey homeowners book us for kitchen packing and fragile item packing only, the dishes, glassware and breakables, and handle the rest of the boxes themselves. Your call.

Do you bring the packing materials?

Yes. We bring the boxes, tape, packing paper and bubble wrap. Packing materials and boxes are part of the service, so you don’t have to run around town hunting for supplies before moving day.

How do you protect fragile and breakable items?

We bubble wrap breakables one piece at a time, box them snug so they don’t shift, and blanket-wrap and pad the bigger pieces before they leave your home. It’s the same packing care our crews give IKEA, Cozey and Samsung freight.

Do you unpack at the new place too?

Yes. Packing and unpacking go both ways. We can unpack and set up at your new Surrey home, then haul off the empty boxes and packing materials. You move in without a wall of cardboard to deal with.

Does the same crew pack and move?

Yes. The crew that packs your home is the same one that loads and moves it. We use our own crews, never subcontractors. One team handles the whole job, from the first box to the last item off the truck.

Can you pack a townhome on a tight street in Clayton Heights?

Yes, and we plan for it. Clayton and Clayton Heights streets are narrow and on-site parking is tight, so we lock in the visitor or loading spot ahead of time and stage the boxes so the truck isn’t sitting in the lane. It’s the same drill in most Cloverdale townhome complexes off Fraser Highway. Book early during Cloverdale Rodeo weekend too, since 176 Street traffic near the fairgrounds gets heavy.

Do you pack older heritage and character homes in downtown Cloverdale?

Yes. The homes around the historic 176 Street core and Five Corners are older character and heritage places, and they pack differently than a new build. Tighter stairwells, more fragile trim, and belongings that have been in the family a while. We wrap each breakable one piece at a time and pad the bigger items before anything leaves the house. Tell us what you’ve got and we’ll set the plan up front.
