Two people on every job Shipley, West Yorkshire, England

What you get.

Not every move needs a removal firm’s biggest truck. A studio, a flat with one bedroom, or your half of a shared house usually fits in our box van with space left over. You pay by how much of the van you fill, and that price already covers both of us, the fuel and every flight of stairs.

  • A box van with a tail lift, or the smaller van for tight streets
  • A blanket round each piece and straps across every row
  • Bed frames unbolted before loading and bolted up again in the new room
  • Boxes put down in the room you name, not left in the hall
  • A sweep for screws, remotes and chargers left behind
Taped cartons, some marked Kitchen, piled in front of a window with a sheer curtain

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.

When it helps

When people ask us for this.

  • Moving out of a flat

    A one bed or a studio with a sofa, a bed and a kitchen in boxes.

  • Moving in with someone

    Only your half is coming, and theirs is already there.

  • Between short lets

    A few months somewhere, then on again, without much furniture.

  • Downsizing

    The pieces that will not fit after the move go across town to family.

FAQs

Questions about room and studio moves.

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

What if it does not all fit in the load I chose?

We say so before loading starts. The next load's price from our table applies only if you agree. Say no, and we take what fits for the price you were quoted.

Do you pack boxes?

No, packing is yours, which keeps the price down. We do not sell boxes or tape; any sturdy box or bag is fine if it closes.

Can the old sofa go to the tip on the way?

Only as a tip run added to the same request, because rubbish needs a registered waste carrier and a transfer note. We price it with the move, so it is all in one figure.

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.
