Trident Removals Ltd is a professional, family-run moving company based in Lancashire. We offer packing and unpacking services for moves of any size.
Trident’s moving team is well-versed in handling relocations of all types and sizes. Although we can’t remove every bit of stress on moving day, our services aim to make the process as smooth as possible. If you’ve already scheduled us for your upcoming move and are dreading the packing task, consider using our specialised Packing Services.
Have you got a bulky L-shaped sofa, a tendency to accumulate things, or a loft full of items you haven’t seen in ages? Don’t worry, our packing experts can handle it. We recognise that each household is unique, so just let us know what you need assistance with. We’ll then discuss how we can best help you. Our goal is to make your moving experience as enjoyable as possible.
We offer a variety of Packing Services to suit different needs. The most commonly chosen by our clients are:
Comprehensive Packing
Packing of Breakable Items
Packing of Fragile Items
Partial Packing
Unpacking Services
Packing is a time-consuming task. It can take days or even weeks to pack up an entire house. To make things easier, we always recommend having a clear out first. This helps you save time and eliminates the need to dispose of unwanted items on the actual moving day, whether that means making trips to the skip or sorting through rubbish.
You have the flexibility to schedule our packing service to suit your needs: we can come to your home a day prior to your move, or we can start packing on the moving day itself. The choice is entirely yours and can be tailored to fit your schedule.
When you opt for our comprehensive packing service, you can truly relax on moving day while we handle the heavy lifting for you.
We meticulously examine, wrap, and package your fragile items using high-quality protective materials, ensuring they are secure during transit. Larger and bulkier items receive the same level of care. Our team treats your belongings as if they were their own. Rest easy knowing our staff are highly trained, so your possessions are in safe hands.
You probably have a selection of fragile and delicate items in your home, like glassware, decorative pieces, mirrors, cherished photos, and lamps. These require special attention and are wrapped in protective materials such as bubble wrap, poly chips, and acid-free tissue paper. We then place them in our sturdy, double-walled boxes and label them clearly for identification.
If you choose just our breakables-only packing service, rather than the full service, you’ll be responsible for packing non-fragile items like books, toys, clothing, and tools.
Choosing our packing services not only saves you time but also guarantees that your precious and delicate belongings are expertly packed before the move.
Getting to your new home and finding all your items already unpacked in the right rooms is quite the dream, isn’t it? That’s exactly what our Unpacking Service aims to do.
We’ll open up all the boxes for you and even remove the empty ones. From there, it’s your call to arrange your belongings as you see fit and truly make the space your own.
It goes without saying that a reliable packing service needs quality materials. That’s why we offer a complete range of top-grade packing supplies for either purchase or rental, including:
When you buy your packing materials from us, you’ll find our prices to be more competitive than those in shops or online.
