Tips
Three short ones, all worth the read
Nothing about colour-coded labels or starting a year in advance. Just the three things that actually go wrong at this end of the trade.
-
You are buying or moving something large.
Will it fit?
Four measurements answer this, and almost nobody takes the one that actually decides it.
-
You are moving a studio or a one-bed.
Packing a studio into one van
Whether it fits is decided days before the van arrives, and it is decided almost entirely by how much of it is in boxes.
-
You are moving out of a shared house.
Moving one room out of a houseshare
The room is the easy part. Everything that goes wrong on a houseshare move happens in the parts of the building that are not yours.
Get a price
Tell us how much is moving
One item, one room, one van or a whole place — and the floor at each end. That is genuinely most of what we need to give you a price that holds.
