    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 goods leaving the UK 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

    Do you survey before quoting a house load?

    Yes — usually by photographs or a short video call, which is quicker for you than a visit. It means the quotation reflects the real volume and access rather than an optimistic guess.

    Can you deliver on a specific day?

    We agree a target delivery window at the point of booking and select a shipping service that supports it. Where a date is not realistic we say so before you commit.

    How much does it cost?

    Guide prices for this service start at £495. 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 — message us with the details and we will send a firm number.

    How quickly can you collect?

    Collection is usually arranged within 60–90 minutes for urgent same-day work in mainland Great Britain during working hours, and on a booked date for planned European shipments. Tell us your deadline and we will tell you honestly whether it is achievable.
