What we collect and deliver
From private sellers
Furniture you have bought on Facebook Marketplace, eBay or Gumtree and need collected, with the seller's address and a time agreed.
From shops and showrooms
A purchase you want collected from a shop, or a delivery to a different address from the one you paid for.
Between two homes
A few pieces moved between your own addresses, or to a relative, a student room or a storage unit.
A single large item
One sofa, bed, wardrobe, dining table or appliance. Tell us the size and weight.
Several items
A group of items from the same address or a few different ones. List them and say where each is.
Part of a bigger move
For a whole flat or house see flat removals or house removals.
Measure before you book
Most problems with furniture delivery are about fit, not distance. A sofa that is wider than a doorway, a wardrobe that will not turn on a landing, or a bed frame that will not go in a lift all cause delays. Measure the item at its widest, tallest and deepest, and measure the route it has to take: front door, hallway, stairs, landings and the lift if there is one.
If you know that something has to be taken apart to get through, tell us at the quote stage. Taking furniture apart and assembly are available on request, so say so when you ask for the quote.
How to arrange a collection or delivery
1. List the items
Write down what is being moved and the sizes. Photos sent on WhatsApp help us choose the van and the number of movers.
2. Give us both addresses
Collection and delivery postcodes, the floors, any lift, and who will meet us at each end.
3. We confirm the details
We say how many movers are needed, what is included and the price, before you book.
4. Agree and it is booked
Once you have agreed, the job is booked for your date.
If you are collecting from a seller
- Agree a collection window with the seller and make sure someone will be at the address.
- Keep the seller's address and contact number to hand.
- Check the item against the description and your measurements before it is loaded.
- Tell us if the item needs taking apart, or if you have already done it.
- If something has changed, such as the item no longer being available, tell us as early as you can.
What affects the price
- The size and weight of the items, and how many there are.
- One mover or two. Heavy or awkward items often call for two movers.
- The distance between the addresses and how long the job will take.
- Floors, stairs and lifts at each address.
- Parking and the carry from the van.
- Any Congestion Charge or ULEZ cost on the route. Ask whether it is included.

Furniture collection and delivery FAQs
Can you collect furniture from a seller?
Give us the seller's address, a collection window and the item sizes, and we confirm the details and give you the price upfront.
Can you deliver to a different address from where I am?
Yes. Put the delivery postcode on the quote form and tell us who will be there to receive the items. We give you the price upfront.
Do I need two movers for a sofa or wardrobe?
Large sofas and wardrobes are usually safer with two movers, especially on stairs. Tell us the size and the access, and we will recommend what suits.
Will you assemble or take apart furniture?
Yes, both are available on request. Tell us when you request the quote which items need taking apart or putting together.
What if the item will not fit through the door?
Measure before you book and tell us the dimensions. If an item might not fit, say so, and we will discuss the options before the job rather than on the day.
A little preparation, a clearer moving day.
Make a list of furniture and packed boxes, including belongings in cupboards, lofts, garages or storage that are part of your move. Send dimensions and known weights for large or awkward items. Photographs can help explain the load and any difficult access.
Driver and van starts from £60/hour with no loading or unloading help: arrange your own helpers at both ends. One mover and van starts from £80/hour, or two movers and van from £95/hour. Tell us which help you need, then confirm the suitable vehicle, minimum hours, inclusions, any applicable charges and complete price.
Student moves from £100 with ground-floor loading help · Packing from £290 for 1–2 bedrooms or £500 for 3–4 bedrooms. Confirm the actual scope and whether materials and any applicable VAT are included in your quote.
Booking and moving information.
How do I get a removals quote?
Use the online quote form, call 07960 200253 or message us on WhatsApp with the postcodes, date and what is being moved. We give you the price upfront, before you book.
Is a quote a booking?
No. A quote request does not reserve a date. Nothing is booked until you have agreed the details and the price with us.
What size of van do you use?
We use small vans such as the Ford Transit Custom and Renault Trafic, Ford Transit short, medium and long wheelbase vans, and Luton vans. Luton vans with a tail lift are available. We recommend the van when we quote, and photos of the larger items sent on WhatsApp help.
What hours do you work?
Removals run seven days a week, from 8am to 8pm, and you can book for the next day until midnight.
Do you offer packing and furniture assembly?
Yes. Packing, taking furniture apart and assembly are available on request, and packing materials are available on advance notice only. Tick what you need on the quote form or tell us when you call, and we give you the price upfront.
What insurance do you have?
We hold hire and reward insurance. Goods in transit insurance is available at extra cost if you need it: ask for it when you request your quote, and check your own contents insurance as well.
What is your cancellation policy?
An £80 cancellation fee applies if you cancel with at least 24 hours' notice. If you cancel less than 24 hours before your move, 50% of the quoted fee applies. Cancellations cannot be accepted within 8 hours of the move, so the full quoted fee applies and is not refunded, unless the cancellation is because of a medical emergency supported by hospital records, in which case 50% of the quoted fee applies.
How can I pay?
You can pay by card or bank transfer.
Confirm the furniture release arrangements.
Ask the seller for dimensions, packaging and a collection contact. Add the receiving entrance and any assembly request to establish what the collection and delivery involves.
Enquiry only. Agree the details and total before booking.
