“Once upon a hallway stacked with cardboard boxes, a tired family of four sighed at the clock. It was midnight. The baby had been up twice. The kettle was lost. And the move… had barely begun. Then, RAD arrived.”
1. What Is a Pack and Move Service?
A pack and move service is more than muscle and vans, it’s a full-care moving solution, one where the only thing you need to lift is your phone.
Instead of you buying boxes, wrapping plates in old newspapers, and risking your back on staircases, a professional team arrives with everything needed to pack, protect, load, and transport your entire home.
At RAD Removals, we’ve turned this process into an art. Our trained technicians wrap, label, document, and protect every item as if it were going on exhibition — whether it’s vintage furniture, a child’s sketchbook, or your wedding china.
It’s not just logistics. It’s peace of mind.
2. Who Is It For?
You may not need help packing every move. But sometimes, life doesn’t give you time to bubble-wrap memories. That’s where RAD steps in.
Busy Families With Children
Packing a home while raising small children is like folding laundry in a hurricane. Meals, school drop-offs, bedtimes… boxes? Forget it.
RAD’s pack and move team can handle it all while you focus on what matters — like reading “The Gruffalo” one more time on the last night in your old home.
Pro tip: We pack children’s essentials into a “first box out,” so their world feels familiar the moment you land.
Time-Crunched Professionals
No one wants to move after midnight. With RAD, we can pack a full 2-bedroom flat in 4 hours, with zero disruption to your work schedule or Zoom calls.
Complicated Homes & Urban Moves
London flats, with their winding stairwells, permit zones, and second-floor-only elevators, are our natural habitat. We manage access, protect your property, and coordinate with concierge or building managers in advance.
Clients with Fragile, Valuable or Irreplaceable Items
RAD uses freight-grade wrapping, acid-free paper, corner guards, and wardrobe boxes to protect antiques, artwork, suits, and sculptures. From designer lamps to vintage desks, everything gets custom protection.

5. FAQs: What Clients Ask the Most
“Can I leave clothes in drawers?”
Not recommended. At RAD, we professionally empty all drawers and pack clothes into specialised wardrobes or linen boxes. This ensures safe handling, protects drawer joints, and keeps garments crease-free and clean during transit or storage.
“Do movers pack my clothes?”
Yes. We use wardrobe boxes so your hanging clothes go from rail to rail without ever being folded.
“Do I need to be home?”
You’re welcome to stay, or leave us access instructions. Many clients book packing while they’re at work.
“How do I know things won’t go missing?”
All items are logged and labelled. Optional photo inventories allow you to view the contents of every box on a digital list.
“Can you unpack too?”
Absolutely. Full unpacking, room-by-room placement, and debris removal are available on request.
6. Why RAD’s Pack and Move Is London’s Trusted Choice
Anyone can move a box. But RAD moves a home with care, context, and calm.
Here’s what sets us apart:
- No reused boxes or “builder’s tape”
- No untrained temp workers — only full-time, vetted staff
- No rushed load-outs — we protect your walls, floors, and furniture with pads and guards

We also offer same-day packing, multi-property coordination, and storage-ready prep, which means your items go directly into breathable wooden containers if needed, without extra loading.
“They even remembered to label the bedtime toys box ‘open first.’ That night, in a new flat, everything felt… familiar.”
