Define your small moving job.
A small job is easier to plan when the exact lifting work is clear. Tell us which pieces need moving, where each item starts, and where you want it placed. Include photos or measurements for large furniture, along with any stairs, narrow doorways or changes of floor.
Confirm whether you need help inside one property, loading a vehicle, or moving between addresses. Packing, transportation and furniture disassembly should be identified in your request so the booking matches the work you need.
Prepare the route for the heavy lifting.
Four quick steps that make a by-the-hour job faster.
Identify each item
List the pieces needing help and flag anything unusually heavy, delicate or difficult to grip for review before booking.
Show the starting point
Share the room, floor and available route, including stairs and tight turns between the item and its destination.
Clear the working area
Move loose belongings out of the route and keep children and pets away from the lifting area during the appointment.
Confirm the final position
Decide where each piece should go and identify any furniture preparation or reassembly you want included in the estimate.
Pay only for the hours you need.
Moving assistance is booked by the hour, so you pay for the crew and the time the job takes. Pick the crew size that fits the heaviest piece and the number of items.
Tell us about stairs, long walks and anything that needs taking apart. The clearer the job, the closer your hours stay to the estimate.
