Johannesburg Movers offers professional packing and furniture wrapping for home and office moves. Tell us whether you need help with the whole property or selected items, and include the collection address, moving dates and inventory so the packing work can be quoted alongside your move.

Choose the packing help you need

• Household packing: list the rooms, cupboards and loose items you want packed, including kitchenware, books and clothing.
• Furniture wrapping: identify sofas, tables, cabinets and other pieces needing protection. Send photographs and dimensions for large or awkward items.
• Selected fragile items: point out glassware, mirrors, artwork and electronics before the quote. Ask us to confirm suitable preparation and any specialist requirements.
• Office packing: list boxed records, equipment and furniture by department, with labels showing where each item should go.

Discuss materials and quantities when requesting a quote. Boxes, wrapping and packing labour should be clearly described in the agreed scope; do not assume every material or extra task is included.

Prepare for packing day

Separate items that are moving from those being sold, donated or left behind. Keep essential documents, medication, keys and valuables with you. Explain which items you will pack yourself and which you want the team to prepare.

Label rooms and destination areas consistently. Tell us about stairs, lifts, parking, complex access and any building booking requirements. For apartments and offices, confirm the permitted working times with management before agreeing a packing schedule.

Packing time depends on the inventory, preparation and agreed work. Ask for a schedule for your particular move rather than relying on a fixed number of days.

Dismantling, unpacking and appliance preparation

List any furniture that needs dismantling or assembly, and any unpacking you would like at the destination. Have these tasks confirmed in writing. Arrange appliance disconnection and preparation in advance; office IT disconnection, backups and recommissioning should be coordinated with your own IT provider.

Packing does not by itself establish what insurance applies. Request the current cover, exclusions, excess and any requirements for owner-packed items in writing before accepting your quote.

Packing for local and long-distance moves

See our household furniture removals or office removals pages for the wider moving plan. For Johannesburg-area moves, our local moving guide covers preparation for Randburg, Sandton and Fourways. For a long-distance move, supply both addresses and ask about the packing and delivery arrangements for your route.

What to send for a packing quote

• Collection and delivery addresses, preferred dates and property access.
• A room-by-room inventory and photographs of fragile, bulky or unusual items.
• What you will pack yourself and what you want included.
• Materials, dismantling, unpacking or storage requirements to be assessed.
