House moving
Moving house is the part of the year people dread. We take the whole job: wrapping, carrying, driving, and putting everything back where it belongs in the new place. Furniture that came apart to get out of one door goes back together on the other side.
How it runs
What actually happens on the day.
We look at the job first
Send photos or a short video of each room on WhatsApp, or we come and see it. Either way you get a price before anything moves.
We pack what needs packing
Glass, mirrors, crockery and electronics get wrapped properly. Everything is labelled by the room it is going to, not the room it came from.
We load and drive
Furniture is padded and strapped inside a closed body so nothing shifts and nothing gets wet.
We put the house back together
Beds and wardrobes are reassembled, boxes go to the right rooms, and packing waste leaves with us.
Included
- A supervisor who stays with the job start to finish
- Padding blankets, straps and trolleys
- Labelling by destination room
- Removal of packing waste after unpacking
Common questions
- How far ahead should I book?
- Weekends and month-ends fill up first, so a few days ahead is safest. Urgent and same-day moves are often possible — call and ask.
- Do you take apart beds and wardrobes?
- Yes. The crew carries tools and reassembles everything at the new place.
