Q: Should I pay extra for packing services?

Q: How do I get an estimate?
A: You can either go on our website and complete the form asking for an estimate, or ring the office and we can take details over the phone about your upcoming move.
Q: How far in advance should I book my move?
A: It’s always best to get your moved booked as far in advance as possible. That gives us the availability to schedule you on the date you prefer, and it takes a lot of pressure off of you so you can focus on other details of your move. With us, we don’t charge a second deposit if the date you have chosen changes – we simply move your date to the new date on our schedule.
Q: What happens if my moving date changes?
A: No problem! We can adjust your moving date to the new date without any extra charges to you.
Q: What should I pack first when moving?
A: All non-furniture items you can pack away ahead of time such as children’s toys, kitchen items, and ornaments needing packed into boxes are good to start with. This is a time-consuming process and therefore, we w always advise starting with these items and packing up boxes slowly over time than everything at the last minute before your move.
Q: Do you move pianos?
A: Yes! We have all the proper equipment necessary to move pianos. It’s always best to ring us first to confirm what type of piano you have so we can assess how long on the move will take and so we can plan ahead regarding steps in and out the house, distance from the truck to the house, and more. We transport the piano out of and into the home on a piano board with straps and blankets for safety.
Q: How much does it cost to move a piano?
A: On average, it would cost £180, including vat for two hours work moving a piano. However, this will depend on how long we are on the move from our office to your first property to the second property and back to the office, as well as moving the piano in and out of the truck.
Q: How much does it cost to move a house?
A: Every house presents different challenges, therefore every move cost is different It’s always best to give us a call so we can gather a full comprehensive list of items being moved or to set up a free in-home visit to assess the goods being moved and what type of house you are moving from and into.
Q: How can I purchase packing materials?
