From the first box to the last
Every house move takes in the careful loading, the drive and the unloading at the new address. Sofas, mattresses and anything soft-covered are wrapped, wooden pieces are blanket-padded, and the load is strapped so nothing shifts on the road. Pack your own boxes and we simply carry them out, or ask us to help with the last awkward bits.
We plan the route around the way the city actually moves: the one-way system near Above Bar, the tighter roads through the older suburbs, and the streets where the van has to stop at the corner. That planning is why a move that looks tight on paper still finishes on the day.
Older homes and narrow staircases
A lot of Southampton housing is period terraces and converted flats, and the stairs are usually what people worry about. The crew is used to easing wardrobes down tight stairwells and turning bed frames on half-landings without marking the walls. Where a piece will not go, we take a leg off rather than force it.
Tell us the floor and whether there is lift access when you ask for a price, and we send the right number of hands and a van to match.
Getting the van near the door
Parking is often the quiet difficulty of a city move. Many residential streets are permit-controlled and the roads near the centre fill early, so getting the van close takes forethought. We tell you what your street is likely to allow and how near we can realistically pull in, so you can arrange a bay suspension with the council if it is worth it.
Where there is nowhere to stop, we work with what the road gives us and keep the carry as short as we safely can.
How the price is worked out
The figure rests on the size of the move, the access at each end and the distance between the two addresses. Asking costs nothing and there is no obligation once you have the number. You get one fixed price up front rather than an hourly rate ticking over while you watch the clock.
Weekends and month-ends fill first, so it pays to pencil a date in early. Ask for a quote and we will confirm what is open for the day you need.
