While most of our clients start off thinking they’ll pack everything themselves, packing can be a much bigger job than most people realise.
It’s easy to underestimate how long you need to set aside to get ready for your move. For example, if you’ve got a three bedroom property, you’re likely to need around 40 packing boxes.
If it takes you on average 20 minutes to pack a box, you could spend at least 14 hours packing.
If you want easy access to your belongings, take a look at our sister company Plymouth Self Storage.
You can choose the amount of storage space you need, and how long you want it for.
Once you’ve got your storage space, you’ll have access to it six days a week with no extra charges.

During our move from an apartment to a cottage, we had Paul to offer his services as a professional packer. Its worth its a weight in gold.😍
Next morning Hackworthys sent a team of 3 including Paul. They arrived on time & worked like crazy. Each individual was amazing 😍. They deserve a pay rise🥰.
2 smaller vans were sent due to access. They came and looked around first & immediately knew what was needed. They we’re professional & courteous at all times. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Hackworthys. They were amazing from start to finish.
I made an error & didnt know were the kettle was😱 hope the Cornish Pasty’s & Coke made up for my error☺️sorry lads😍 We couldn’t have done it without you & your muscles. Thanks again. X

Who knew moving house could go so smoothly! The initial visit and quote was professional and speedy. The team, Roger, Aaron and Glynn were great. Very friendly with great communication throughout the two day move from the South West to Peterborough. They made everything look so easy! Plenty of banter throughout whilst always remaining courteous and professional. A massive thank you to the whole team. Overall a great company and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them.
Hackworthy & Sons were absolutely brilliant through the move - friendly, professional, helpful and made the whole process a lot less stressful than it could have been! I'd fully recommend them!

We would highly recommend Hackworthy & Sons ltd. We have used them for our recent house move. From the initial consultation to the actual move it was an extremely professional service. The team that moved us made the experience seamless and enjoyable, nothing was too much trouble for them. We moved from a large house to a smaller one, Jason, Dave and Sean lifted and shifted our furniture with complete ease.

We only booked Hackworthy a few days before our move. They prepared a quote vey quickly and it was easy to accept the quote and book them for our move.
The movers turned up on time and were efficient and jolly. They made the move a pleasant experience.

Everything went exactly to plan, and the three men (Tom Dave and Tom ) were so helpful and cheery even though the move ran on a bit later than we thought. Nothing was too much trouble and it was a three storey house so a lot of stairs. I would 100% recommend Hackworthys this is the second house move I had with them. Thanks again.

Excellent company! Couldn’t have imagined it would be so easy. The initial survey was very reassuring and thorough. We chose the full packing and moving service. On both days the 4 men arrived exactly on time and were friendly but professional taking excellent care of all of our belongings with a smile and cheery word. They made a potentially stressful time very relaxed. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend the company.

What a great experience. My daughter just moved from Plymstock to Chivenor and they were exceptional. Aaron and Paul were like a double act, having a laugh and lots of banter which helped relieve the stress and anxiety for my daughter. Very professional service.
Can’t recommend this company enough.

We have used Hackworthy & Sons for three house moves and the service has always been exceptional. The staff work extremely hard and are clearly skilled at what they do. We would highly recommend their packing service too, taking away a lot of the pressure of the move. Everyone was extremely personable from the quote visit to the final move. I can highly recommend to anyone who wants their move to go smoothly.

Hackworthy &Sons stepped in at the 11th hour when our completion date changed and our original removal company were unable to accommodate us.
They were prompt, friendly and approachable and couldn’t do enough for us.
We have a family member moving shortly and had no hesitation in recommending Hackworthy & Sons to them.

The two men who did our move worked tirelessly to pack everything carefully, and unpack. All done with good humour throughout.
The next day they brought the big lorry down Cornish lanes to my new home. Huge respect.
They did a fantastic job.

We were so impressed by the care we received, both in a personal way and also for our belongings.
The team were very patient, and hard working in high temperatures. There was always a kindness and willingness to give of their best.
I am already recommending Hackworthy to friends as a very reliable family firm.
From the initial visit for the quote, to all your excellent communication and admin, through to the team that were with us on moving day, I couldn’t have asked for more.
The move went so smoothly - your team was quick and efficient, friendly and nothing was too much trouble for them. We were very impressed and it made the day really stress-free.
Thank you again and I will whole-heartedly recommend Hackworthy & Sons to anyone that is planning a move.

The process of moving is always a stressful one but Jason & Dave from Hackworthy were brilliant through out the exercise. They were efficient, helpful, polite and friendly. On what was a fairly complex four day move they used their initiative when our plans didn’t quite tally with the actuality of the task and they did it without any complaint. Thanks lads. We would definitely recommend Hackworthy based on our experince.

Nothing but 5 stars for Dan and his team. As expected, moving days are full of stress, however the Hackworthy team were amazing at handling everything. Very professional, took great care of fragile items and a real credit to the company. If, and that’s a big if, we ever move again, we will be sure to use their services.
