Man and van in Northwood
The small end — a room, a study, a storage unit, or a few pieces that need moving properly rather than quickly.
Not every job is a household. A study cleared, a few inherited pieces brought across, a storage unit emptied, a single heavy item collected from a dealer or an auction house.
What it suits
- Single rooms, studies and lightly filled flats
- A few pieces moved between family addresses
- Auction, dealer and shop collections
- One awkward item: a sofa, a bureau, an upright piano, a large mirror
- Clearing a storage unit into a house
Small does not mean rough
The protection is the same: blankets, covers, corner protection and cases for anything that wants one. A small job with good pieces in it is exactly the job where careless handling costs the most.
Be honest about the load
The commonest way a small move goes wrong is that it was never a small move. Tell us what is actually coming and we will say which option is cheaper. It is frequently the removal, and saying so before you book saves a long day.
Where it stops being right
Around a well-filled one-bed, or wherever a tail-lift is wanted rather than a ramp — see flats and apartments.
Small-move questions
One person or two?
Two on anything with furniture in it. One and a van is fine for cartons.
Is this for small jobs only?
Small, or careful. A few good pieces going a short distance is a common job here and it gets the same protection as a full removal.
Do you carry or just drive?
Carry. If you want a vehicle and a driver while you do the lifting, say so and we price it that way.
Can you collect from an auction or a dealer?
Yes, and frequently do. Tell us the item, roughly what it weighs, and when it has to be collected by.
When does a larger vehicle make more sense?
Around a well-filled one-bedroom flat, or when the pieces involved want a tail-lift rather than a ramp.
Only a few pieces to move?
Tell us what they are and where they are going. Small jobs get the same protection as full households.
