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.

Plenty 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

Be honest about the load

The commonest way a small move goes wrong is that it was never a small move. Tell us what is actually coming, wardrobe included, and we will say which option is cheaper. It is frequently the removal, and saying so costs us the larger invoice and saves you a bad day.

The stair still decides the crew

Especially here, where so many front doors sit at the top of an external stair. Two quick questions — which floor, inside or outside — and the crew is sized properly.

Where it stops being right

Around a well-filled one-bed — see flats and maisonettes.

Worth asking

Small-move questions

One person or two?

Two on anything with furniture in it. A sofa down an external maisonette stair is emphatically not a one-person job.

Is it right for a first home?

Very often. A bedroom's worth of things plus whatever was bought for the new place is a van job, and 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 shop or a seller?

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 becomes two trips and a long day, which costs more than a proper removal would have.

Got a small move on?

Two addresses, the floor at each end, and whether there is an external stair. We will tell you what it needs.
