    A heavy item, an elderly recipient or an empty property with nobody available to unload.

    Book two-person handling and the crew does the lifting at both ends, including placement into the room.

    The short answer

    What we actually do about it

    • Tell us the weight and the access at both addresses
    • We price a two-person crew where it is needed
    • The item is placed where you want it, not left at the kerb
    • Packaging removed and taken away on request

    Not sure how it should be packed?

    Send a photograph on WhatsApp and we will tell you exactly what we would do — and what it costs.

    The honest caveat

    Stairs, lifts and doorway widths decide what is physically possible. Photographs of the access let us tell you the truth in advance.

    The service that solves this

    Blanket-wrapped, strapped and hand-loaded. Furniture is moved the way a removals firm would move it, then shipped on to the European address.

    • Two-person handling booked where the weight demands it
    • Access, stairs and parking checked before the day
    • Room-of-choice placement where the property allows
    • Photographs before and after loading on request

    How the process works

    1. 1

      Send us the details

      Message us the collection postcode, the delivery address, and what is travelling — dimensions, weight, rough value and photographs if you have them.

    2. 2

      We quote in writing

      One figure covering collection, packing materials, labour and transport. The variables are stated, so you can see exactly what is driving the price.

    3. 3

      We pack on site

      We arrive with cartons, foam, blankets, boards and strapping and pack your goods at your address. Nothing is left for you to finish.

    4. 4

      Documentation is prepared

      An itemised packing list with values and dimensions travels with the load, alongside the export documentation.

    5. 5

      Shipping is arranged and managed

      We select the appropriate parcel, pallet or freight service for the consignment and manage it through to delivery.

    6. 6

      Delivered and evidenced

      Handed over against a signature, placed into the room where access allows, and photographed on delivery.

    Frequently asked questions

    What will it cost?

    Guide prices start at £495 for this type of work. Blanket-wrapped, hand-loaded and delivered into the room where access allows. The final figure depends on collection location, destination, dimensions, weight, declared value, packing complexity, urgency and any special requirements.

    How quickly can you help?

    Message us on WhatsApp with the details and you will get a considered answer the same day during working hours. Urgent collections in mainland Great Britain can often be arranged within 60–90 minutes.

    Will you dismantle and reassemble furniture?

    We routinely remove legs, glass and shelving to protect a piece in transit and refit them at the other end. Full dismantling of fitted or complex units can be quoted where it is safe to do — tell us the piece and we will be straight with you.

    Can you deliver into an upstairs apartment?

    Usually yes, but the stairs, lift dimensions and parking decide the crew size. Send photographs of the access with your quote request and we will price it properly rather than guessing.
