How it works
Count it, ask, and we carry it.
Step 1: Count your things
Big pieces and boxes. The checker gives the van space and a price.
Step 2: Ask for a day
Send the request. We reply to say whether that day suits, with the price written down.
Step 3: We do the lifting
On the day you say yes to, two of us wrap, load, drive and carry it in.
Why us
Small jobs, done like they matter.
Most of our work is one room, one piece or one garage at a time. Each one is handled as carefully as a full flat.
Two people on every job
Nobody waits for you to lift half a sofa, and nobody drags it.
The price is the whole price
Fuel, stairs and VAT are in it before you see it. It changes only for waiting past the load’s time (£9 each 15 minutes), more than you described (only if you agree) or a wasted trip (£25 local, £35 wider area).
Two vans, picked for the street
A box van with a tail lift for most jobs and a smaller van for cobbles and tight terraces.
Blankets on everything
A blanket goes round every chair, table and wardrobe, and straps hold it still, even the cheap ones.
Prices
Pay for the van space you use.
Each price below is the full price for the load, both of us and the van included. Count what is going and the checker finds the load.

More than these? Put the extra pieces in the request note. The reply adds the load they fill to the full van price, both from this table.
Every load price includes
- Two people and the van
- Fuel and the drive between both addresses
- Stairs, lifts and long carries at either end
- Furniture wrapped and tied in for the drive
- Bed frames unbolted and rebuilt
- VAT at 20%
When the price can change
- Waiting at your end. Beyond the load's time allowance, when keys, a lift or a blocked street hold us up: £9 for each extra 15 minutes. We say so before it starts.
- More than you described. If there is clearly more than the load you asked for, we say so before loading. The next load's price from the table applies only if you agree; otherwise we take what fits.
- A wasted trip. If the job cannot go ahead once we arrive (nobody to let us in, or a piece you decide not to take): £25 local, £35 wider area, instead of the load price.
Bradford’s Clean Air Zone is class C, which charges vans that do not meet Euro 6 for diesel (GOV.UK, England). Both vans are Euro 6 diesels, so no zone charge applies to your move.
Both ends in Shipley, Saltaire, Baildon, Bingley, Cottingley, Idle and Thackley, Frizinghall or Bradford city centre. Either end in Leeds, Horsforth and Guiseley, Otley and Ilkley, Keighley or Halifax.
Tip runs and clearances
- Quarter van£96
- Half van£158
- Full van£245
Tip run prices include the transfer station’s weighbridge fee for general household rubbish, for both ends in the local area.
Sample reviews
Jobs we did, in the customer’s own words.
- Sample review
They collected a pine dresser from a seller in Ilkley and had it up two flights into our flat by teatime. The bill matched the website to the penny.
RuthShipley · Single item
- Sample review
Four of us left a house share at once. One trip, every box marked with a name, and nobody had to argue over whose lamp was whose.
TomaszHeadingley · Student move
- Sample review
They cleared my late dad’s garage over two loads. His bike and tools went to a reuse shop and I got the waste paperwork by email that night.

FAQs
Questions people ask before a move.
The phone, 07700 900614, is answered in working hours, and the request has a note box for anything these answers miss.
Does someone need to be there for pick up and drop off?
Someone needs to let us in at each end. It does not have to be you: a friend, a neighbour or a seller is fine, as long as we have their name and number.
Can one van take everything?
The checker counts up to one full van. For anything past that, list the extra pieces in the request note: the reply adds the load they fill to the full van price, both from our table.
Is there a charge for stairs or a top floor?
No. Stairs, lifts and a long carry from where the van stops are part of every load price, whichever floor you are on.
What happens if I need to cancel?
Our own rule is simpler. Tell us any time before we set off and there is nothing to pay. The 14 day right to cancel in the Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013 (UK) may not apply to a move or collection booked for a set date: regulation 28(1)(h) leaves out transport of goods where the contract gives a specific date.
Are my things insured while you move them?
Our insurance on your things while they are in our van or being carried is £15,000 a load (a sample figure for this demo), for loss or damage. The policy wording is yours to read before the day.
Can you take old furniture to the tip?
Yes, as a tip run. In England, a business that carries waste must register as a waste carrier with the Environment Agency (GOV.UK). Wales and Scotland have their own registers, run by Natural Resources Wales and SEPA. Our registration is upper tier, number DEMO-WC-1 (sample).
Do you add a Clean Air Zone charge in Bradford?
No. Bradford’s Clean Air Zone is class C, which charges vans that do not meet Euro 6 for diesel (GOV.UK, England). Both vans are Euro 6 diesels, so the zone does not charge them and nothing is added to your price.
Ask for a day
Say what is going, and when.
Five short steps. The reply says whether your day suits us and puts the price in an email; nothing is booked until you agree to it.
