Two people on every job Shipley, West Yorkshire, England

What you get.

June and September are the busy months. A single room usually fits a quarter of the van, and four housemates moving on the same day can share one load and split the price. We mark every box with its owner’s name as it goes on, so nobody unpacks someone else’s kettle.

  • One sharer’s room or every room in the house, in one trip
  • Boxes and bags marked with each person’s name
  • A price you can split between housemates
  • Drop offs at more than one address on the same run
  • Carrying from halls with long corridors and shared lifts
A long row of brick terraced houses with green doors and tall chimney pots

Full price

  • Quarter vanUp to 3 big pieces and 15 boxes or bags£84Local area£118Wider area
  • Half vanUp to 7 big pieces and 28 boxes or bags£139Local area£182Wider area
  • Full vanUp to 14 big pieces and 48 boxes or bags£214Local area£268Wider 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.

FAQs

Questions about house share moves.

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

Can we split the price?

Yes. We send one quote for the load, and on the day each of you can pay your share by card or bank transfer.

Can you drop off at different addresses?

Yes, as long as they are on the same run within our areas. Each extra stop is counted in the time for the load, and the full price we quote includes every stop.

When should we ask?

As soon as the date your keys go back is fixed. Tell us the hand back time and we work out the start from there.

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.
