We recommend booking at least one or two weeks in advance where possible, but you do have a bit of flexibility based on what you need help with. Here's a simple guide:

For Small Jobs: (e.g., moving a single sofa, a few boxes, or a marketplace collection)
Booking 2-3 days in advance is usually fine.

For Bigger Moves: (e.g. a student move, long-distance, or moving lots of items)
We recommend booking 2-3 weeks ahead, especially if you need a popular weekend slot. This gives you the best choice of drivers and secures the right van size.
