Man and van in Northolt
The small end — a room, a studio, a first home, a storage unit, or one heavy item. Two people and a van, booked by the job.
A good share of moving jobs do not need a Luton and four people. A room across UB5, a studio emptied, a first flat furnished, a storage unit cleared, one heavy thing that will not go in a car.
What it suits
- Single rooms, studios and lightly filled one-beds
- First-home moves
- Shared-house moves to a fixed handover time
- Marketplace, shop and auction collections
- One awkward item: a sofa, a fridge-freezer, an upright piano, a workbench
The honest bit
The commonest way a small move goes wrong is that it was never a small move. Describe what is actually coming — the wardrobe included — and we will tell you which option is cheaper. It is frequently the removal, and saying so costs us the bigger invoice and saves you the longer day.
The stair still sets the crew
Two questions: which floor, and is the stair inside or outside. They take ten seconds and they decide how many people turn up.
Where it stops being right
Around a well-filled one-bed — see flats and maisonettes.
Small-move questions
One person or two?
Two on anything with furniture in it. A sofa down an external stair is not a one-person job in any weather.
Is it right for a first home?
Very often — a bedroom's worth of things plus whatever was bought for the new place. A full removal would be paying for air.
Do you carry or just drive?
Carry. If you genuinely want a vehicle and a driver while you do the lifting, say so and we price it that way.
Can you collect from a seller or a shop?
Yes. Tell us what it is, roughly what it weighs, and when it has to be gone by.
When is it the wrong choice?
Around a well-filled one-bed. Past that it is two trips and a long day, which costs more than the removal would have.
Got a small move on?
Two addresses, the floor at each end, and whether the stair is inside or outside. We will tell you which option is cheaper.
