A massive thank you to the Forest Team and a special shout out to Callum, Josh, Anthony and Mark. You all made the move incredibly stress free. Even navigating a very large heavy sofa-bed! My belongings were handled with care and the team were professional, friendly and approachable. I would highly recommend Forest Removals for anyone looking to move!Posted on GoogleTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Callum and his team at Forest recently moved us from a large 4 bed house to a smaller 3 bed. From start to finish Callum offered exceptional customer service, from discussing our move, helping to arrange storage and planning the moving day to perfection. Nothing was too much trouble and it made our moving day very smooth with no hiccups. Callum’s team of young men were equally professional, and took great care with our furniture and personal possessions. What a team…. Especially when they were two men down. The boys worked hard. Thankyou to forest removals, I cannot recommend them highly enough.Posted on GoogleTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We are so grateful to Calum and his team who were amazing. From the start communication was fast, professional and helpful. The team arrived on time on moving day and were warm and professional. One of the team members took special care to chat with our young children in a genuine and very approachable way - really lovely to make sure the children were included on such a disruptive and potentially unsettling day for them. The team were conscious and took great care with our belongings, protecting items carefully, maneuvering furniture with skill and delicacy, and securing everything in the van. They went above and beyond, offering to take items that weren't included in our quote and making efforts to ease the stress of moving. Their calm, warm and conscientious approach was incredible. We are so pleased to have used Forest and couldn't have asked for a better service. 10 out of 10. No notes. Massive thank-you from all of us.Posted on GoogleTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

Careful packing support for local and UK-wide moves
Professional Packing Services
Forest Removals provides professional packing services for customers who want help preparing their belongings before moving day. Choose full packing, fragile-only packing or support with selected rooms and items.
Before the packing date, we agree what is included, which materials are required and which belongings need extra attention. That preparation helps the team pack in a clear order and makes loading day easier to manage.
Packing is a separate service and is only included when it appears in your written quotation. Unpacking boxes at the new property is not automatically included unless it has been agreed in advance.
A clear plan before the packing team arrives
How we prepare for a packing service
The packing plan starts with understanding the property, the volume of belongings and any items that need special handling. We also confirm whether the packing will take place the day before the move or as part of a wider schedule.
Packing must be completed before loading begins. Where a larger home or detailed fragile packing is involved, the work may need its own dedicated day so the team is not trying to pack and load at the same time.
We ask customers to separate anything that must travel with them, including medication, important documents, keys, jewellery, chargers and personal essentials. These items should not be packed into the removal load.
What we confirm in advance
Suitable materials for different belongings
Packing materials and careful preparation
Good packing is not simply filling boxes. The materials and method need to match the item, the journey and the way the load will be handled.
For general household contents, we use suitable removal boxes, packing paper and tape. Wardrobe boxes can help keep hanging clothes organised, while stronger protection may be used for pictures, televisions and other agreed items.
Fragile items are wrapped and packed so movement inside the box is reduced. Boxes are then closed and labelled clearly so the removal team knows which room they belong in and which ones require careful handling.
Some belongings need a separate discussion before the packing date. Antiques, unusually valuable items, large artwork, specialist equipment and items in poor condition should be identified during the survey.
From survey to a move-ready home
How the packing service works
The service is agreed before the team arrives, with the packing date, materials and scope included in the wider move plan.
Clear expectations before you book
What is included and what needs agreeing separately
The packing service covers only the work listed in your written quotation. That may be the whole home, fragile items or selected rooms. It also confirms whether Forest Removals is supplying the packing materials.
Dismantling furniture, packing lofts, garages or outdoor buildings, moving hazardous goods, specialist crating and unpacking at the destination are not automatically included. These must be discussed before the quote is accepted.
If the amount to be packed changes significantly, contact us before the packing date. Extra cupboards, rooms or belongings may require more materials, staff or time than originally allowed.
Important packing reminders
Packing support as part of the wider move
Combine packing with removals and storage
Packing can be added to a local or UK-wide house move. It can also support a move into storage when completion dates do not line up or when a property is being renovated.
Where storage is involved, clear labelling becomes especially useful. It helps identify boxes for later access and supports an organised redelivery when the new property is ready.
The survey should cover the whole plan rather than treating packing, removal and storage as separate jobs. That allows the correct team, materials, vehicles and timings to be arranged together.
Feedback from customers who have moved with us
