A small move can be a bedroom, a few boxes and furniture, a single bulky item or a storage transfer. It is useful when you are moving part of a household rather than everything in the property.
Check storage access
Give the facility address, opening hours, loading point and unit floor. Arrange entry with the storage operator and check whether trolleys or lifts are available.
Prepare bulky items
Empty drawers and cupboards, secure loose parts and measure tight doorways. Request dismantling or extra crew if the item cannot be moved safely as it is.
Vehicle and crew
Small describes the load, not necessarily the lifting effort. A single sofa on an upper floor can need more crew than several boxes at ground level. Include dimensions, approximate weight and access so the vehicle and handling are suitable.
How your quote is worked out
The hourly guide price depends on the job details and does not establish a minimum total. Route distance, loading time, crew and access all matter even for one item. Confirm any minimum booking period and whether the quote is hourly or fixed.
What is not included as standard
- Waste clearance or disposal of possessions you no longer want.
- Packing, dismantling or assembly unless agreed in advance.
- Additional items or stops that have not been included in the quote.

Small Moves — Common Questions
What counts as a small move?
A small move is usually a few items, one room, a studio load, a storage transfer, or a single bulky item that needs a van and lifting help.
Can you move one bulky item?
Yes. Sofas, beds, wardrobes, appliances, and large marketplace purchases are common small-move jobs. Send item dimensions where possible.
Do small moves include disposal?
This page is for moving possessions from one place to another. Waste disposal or clearance is handled separately and only where the job can be completed compliantly.
