Frequently Asked Questions

How much does heavy furniture moving cost?

The cost depends on the size and number of items, access conditions, and distance. More complex moves involving stairs or large items may require additional time. We provide clear quotes upfront so you know exactly what is included, with no hidden charges.

Can you move heavy furniture on the same day?

Yes, we can often provide same-day or next-day services depending on availability. This is especially helpful for urgent moves or last-minute requirements.

Are my items insured during the move?

Yes, your items are covered by our goods in transit insurance, and we also carry public liability insurance. Our trained team ensures safe handling throughout the process.

What is included in a heavy furniture moving service?

The service includes lifting, transporting, and placing heavy furniture. We can also assist with disassembly and reassembly where required.

What is the difference between this and a standard man-and-van service?

Heavy furniture moving requires specialised handling and equipment, while a standard man-and-van service may not be suitable for large or heavy items. Our service is designed specifically for these situations.

How far in advance should I book?

We recommend booking in advance to ensure availability, especially for larger moves. However, we understand that some situations are urgent and will always try to accommodate short-notice bookings.
