PACKING SERVICE
When moving we do all we can to avoid damage to goods and effects. Using Ingram's packing service doesn't guarantee that accidents won't happen - but we do everything possible to reduce that likelyhood. Our experience allows us to wrap and fit things to the highest standards. Where a packing service is required, we stock all the necessary packaging materials. Should you prefer to carry out your own packing we can supply the materials in advance. Whatever you decide, always allow us to pack your breakable effects otherwise you will not be covered via our liability.

Any Questions?
Privacy - Depositing goods is just like opening a bank account. So only in exceptional circumstances may people other than the signatories to the original warehouse contract give instructions.
Insurance - Customers are covered through our liability which is fully approved by the British Association of Removers (BAR). Please contact us with any queries.
Cleaning - We are happy to arrange for carpets, curtains and soft furnishings to be cleaned before they go into store or when they come out.
Access - If there are some items you may need back before others, inform our estimator when he calls to make the quotation. On moving day, it's sensible to remind the foreman and he will plan the packing accordingly. If you leave it as an after-thought, it can be expensive!
Domestic Appliances - If domestic appliances are going into store, you should defrost the refrigerator or freezer about a week beforehand (leaving the doors open) and ensure your washing machine/spin dryer is clean and dry. It is a good idea to put some silica gel bags inside the cabinets.

"I just wanted to drop you a quick note to say it has been an absolute pleasure doing business with you for the last 5 years. Thank you for looking after my belongings for so long - much longer than I anticipated. Thank you for always being so quick to answer my queries and for keeping me updated so regularly about my storage space. Thank you also for being so very kind and helpful with my family and finally thank you for taking such good care of my furniture - my niece tells me that everything came out of its packaging as good as new."
John (August 2022) Isle of Harris and Edinburgh to Lincolnshire
Read John's review that involved extensive use of Containerised Storage:
"We used Ingrams four times in four months in moving from an Island in Scotland and a flat in Edinburgh to Lincolnshire. Malcolm and Ian Ingram set the example for their people who were all polite, helpful and superb at what they did/do. Nothing was too much trouble. They were an absolute pleasure to work with. If you rang you got a response immediate. Ditto by e-mail. If timings altered, and in our case one transaction was delayed three months, they were perfectly flexible in response. Likewise, we had an issue at the very end with a delay to entry and that was solved with no drama certainly with not with the customer. Truly suburb, and I am not easy to impress."
