What you get.

Bought a dresser from someone across town, or need a fridge freezer taken up to a second floor flat? We collect it, wrap it, strap it in and set it down where you want it. Two people come every time, because one person carrying a sofa down a stairwell is how walls get scuffed.

  • Collection from a house, a flat, a shop or a lock up
  • Wrapping in blankets and strapping to the van wall
  • Carried up or down any stairs and set down where you choose
  • Feet and legs taken off when that is the only way through a door
  • A quick check with the seller that the piece is the one you paid for

Full price

  • Single pieceOne big piece and a couple of boxes£42Local area£66Wider area

Includes two people and the van, fuel and the drive between both addresses, stairs, lifts and long carries at either end, and VAT.

  • 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.

When it helps

When people ask us for this.

  • You bought it second hand

    The seller needs it gone by Saturday and your car will not take it.

  • The shop charges more

    A store’s delivery slot is weeks away, or it will not carry above the ground floor.

  • It is going to family

    A piece moving from one home to another across the valley.

  • It will not fit the lift

    Anything that has to come up the stairs on its side.

How it works

How this job works.

  1. Step 1: Send us the piece and both addresses

    A rough size or a photo means the right van and enough blankets turn up.

  2. Step 2: Our answer: your day and the cost

    The full price, written down, and whether the day you asked for suits us.

  3. Step 3: We collect, carry and place it

    The same two of us collect it and deliver it, into the room you point at.

FAQs

Questions about furniture pick ups.

The phone, 07700 900614, is answered in working hours, and the request has a note box for anything these answers miss.

Should I be at the collection address?

No. Give us the seller’s name and a way to reach them and we will deal with them on the day. Someone needs to be at the drop off to let us in.

Can you carry it up to a top floor flat?

Yes, and the stairs are already in the price. If the stairwell turns tightly, tell us the width of the narrowest door and we will say before the day whether it will go.

Is the piece checked before it goes in?

We ring you from the seller's door before it goes in the van. If you decide not to take it, you pay the wasted trip charge, £25 local or £35 wider area, instead of the load price.

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.
