About Our Service

Your Trusted Moving Crate Hire Specialist

Cardboard boxes collapse, split, and end up in landfill. Moving crates don’t. Our heavy-duty plastic crates are stackable, secure, and built to handle the weight of a real move — whether you’re packing a home office, a full house, or an entire commercial floor.

At Bestway Relocation, we deliver crates directly to your door on the date you need them, and collect them once you’re finished unpacking. No trips to a storage unit, no flattening boxes, no waste. Just a simpler, more sustainable way to move.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does it cost to hire moving crates in the UK?

Pricing depends on the number of crates, hire duration, and delivery location. We provide a clear, itemised quote with no hidden fees — contact us and we’ll give you an accurate price within a few hours.

As a rough guide, a one-bedroom flat typically needs 15–25 crates, a two-bedroom home around 25–40, and larger properties more depending on how much you’re moving. We can advise on quantities during your quote.

We recommend booking at least a week before your delivery date to guarantee availability — especially for larger orders or busy periods. For urgent requests, contact us and we’ll do our best to accommodate you.

Absolutely. Crate hire is particularly popular for office moves — they’re faster to pack, easier to stack, and much more secure than cardboard during transport. We supply crates for moves of any commercial scale.

Our crates are built for heavy-duty use, but if damage does occur, let us know and we’ll assess it on collection. Minor wear is expected — we only charge for significant damage that renders a crate unusable.
