Are there any well regarded national packing services, or are these all generally expensive and its best to get quotes from local firms?

Get recommendations for local firms. The nationals are likelier to be pricier at that's not to say avoid them.
I will shout it as per: PACKING SERVICE IS WORTH EVERY SINGLE BLOODY PENNY

You know I've never used removals & I don't think I've averaged over 18m in the 20odd houses I've been in lol. Saying that my in laws found it invaluable, I guess it's different if you've years of accumulated stuff.
Maybe have a think what level of service you need, wrapping/boxing/heirloom/insurance/unboxing to man with van with speeding fines but half dozen blankets.. or somewhere in between lol! & get a couple of quotes in0 -

We have about 80 bottles of perfumes about 100 bottles of alcohol, on top of all our other possessions. not sure if these will be against their conditions of carriage or id we will need to pay extra (seems likely) - not too bothered about insurance but the packing itself would be a huge chew/time sink.0
