What is included in a full packing service?
Our full packing service includes our team visiting your home and packing all your belongings using our own materials. We handle everything from books and clothes to kitchenware and linens. This is the best way to make house removals in Carlisle completely hands-off for the homeowner.
Do you provide packing materials if I want to pack myself?
Yes, we offer a packing materials supply for clients in Carlisle and Penrith. We can provide high-quality boxes, tape, and bubble wrap. Using professional materials is highly recommended to protect your goods during furniture removals.
How do you handle fragile item packing?
We use specialised techniques for delicate items. China and glassware are wrapped individually in paper and placed in reinforced boxes. We also use protective furniture blankets for larger items like televisions and mirrors to make sure they are safe during transit across Cumbria and the borders.
Can you help with furniture dismantling?
Absolutely. We provide furniture dismantling and reassembly for beds, wardrobes, and desks. This is often necessary for Victorian terraces in Carlisle or older cottages in Lockerbie where hallways and staircases are narrow.
Are my items insured while you are packing and moving them?
Yes, RM Removals provides comprehensive goods-in-transit and storage insurance. This covers your belongings from the moment we start packing until they are safely placed in your new home or our secure furniture storage in Carlisle.
Do you offer packing for office relocations?
Yes, we provide commercial packing and office relocation services in Dumfries and Carlisle. We can work outside of standard office hours to minimise downtime for your business and offer archive storage for your important documents.
Why Choose Our Professional Packing Team?
Opting for a professional packing service is a logistical investment in the safety of your property. Our team uses high-quality, double-walled corrugated boxes and acid-free tissue paper to protect your valuables. Every item is treated with care, using specialised furniture blankets to prevent damage during the move. By letting our professionals handle the packing, you ensure that even the most awkward shapes and delicate materials are properly prepared for the journey. This level of organisation is particularly valuable for those navigating the strict timelines of English and Scottish property settlements, where having everything boxed and ready before the noon deadline is crucial.

After a very stressful house sale and it falling through midway, it was eventually moving day, I hired RM Removals and was the best thing I ever done!! Very professional, they took all the stress away, even took extra and put it into storage for me! The boys at RM Removals are great lads, so polite, professional and upbeat, smiling and making me laugh which is exactly what I needed as everyone knows moving house is the most stressful thing but with RM Removals and the boys it was far from it!! Thank you so much Ryan and the boys for making my moving day happy and exciting 🤩❤️ 100% recommend this company ☺️

Ryan and the lads were absolutely brilliant from start to finish! They turned up on time, worked efficiently, and were incredibly helpful throughout the whole move. Nothing was ever too much trouble, and they went above and beyond to make sure everything was handled with care and nothing was damaged. The whole process was smooth and stress-free thanks to their professionalism and hard work. I couldn’t recommend Ryan’s removal company highly enough — if you’re looking for a reliable, friendly, and hardworking team, these are the lads to go with!
