Small Moves
A few pieces or a single room, priced for what it actually is.
What we do
Not every move needs a five-tonne truck and a four-person crew. A studio, a bedroom set, a piano, or the contents of one storage locker should not be priced like a house.
We size the vehicle and the crew to the job. That usually means a van or a small truck with two movers, a two to three hour minimum, and a price that reflects a small load rather than a full day.
Everything else stays the same: blankets, straps, disassembly, protection and an insured crew.

FAQs
Frequently Asked Questions
How small is too small?
Nothing is too small. We move single items regularly - one sofa, one fridge, one piano - and quote those flat-rate.
Is there a minimum charge?
Yes, small moves carry a short minimum booking, typically two to three hours. We tell you the minimum before you book so there is no surprise.
Can you pick up something I bought online?
Yes. Send us the pickup address and the item and we will collect it and deliver it, including up stairs or into a condo.
Do you move pianos and safes?
Yes, with the right equipment and crew. Tell us the type and the stairs involved so we bring the correct gear.
