Frequently Asked Questions

How much does a small moves service cost?

The cost depends on the number of items, distance, and time required. Small moves are often priced hourly, making them a cost-effective option. We provide clear quotes upfront so you know exactly what is included, with no hidden charges.

Do you offer same-day small moves?

Yes, we can often accommodate same-day or short-notice small moves depending on availability. This makes our service ideal for urgent situations or last-minute arrangements. While booking in advance is recommended, we aim to offer flexible scheduling whenever possible.

Is my move insured?

Yes, all moves are covered by our goods in transit insurance, protecting your belongings during transport. We also carry public liability insurance for additional reassurance. Our team handles items carefully, but insurance provides extra peace of mind.

What is included in a small moves service?

The service includes loading, transport, and unloading of your items. We can also assist with packing or provide advice on preparing your belongings. Each move is tailored to your needs to ensure a safe and efficient process.

What is the difference between small moves and man-and-van?

Small moves services are structured and may include additional planning, packing, and support, while a man-and-van service is typically more basic. Choosing a professional service ensures better organisation and reliability.

How far in advance should I book?

We recommend booking a few days in advance, especially during busy periods. However, we understand that some moves are urgent and will always try to accommodate short-notice bookings where possible.
