No, large or awkward items don't automatically cost more to move. The hourly rate stays the same regardless of what you're moving—you're paying for the driver's time and the van, not the difficulty of individual items.

What matters is booking the right service from the start. As long as you're accurate about what you're moving when you get your quote, we'll match you with a driver who has the right van size, equipment, and experience to handle your items safely.

For example, if you're moving a piano, heavy gym equipment, or bulky furniture, let us know in your booking details. We'll connect you with drivers in Harringay who regularly handle specialist items and have the proper equipment like straps, blankets, and trolleys.

Being clear about your requirements means you get the right quote upfront—no surprises and no extra charges on the day.

We recommend booking at least a week in advance where possible, though you have some flexibility depending on your move.

For smaller jobs: (e.g., a single item, a few boxes, or a marketplace pickup)
Booking 2-3 days ahead is typically sufficient.

For larger or more complex moves: (e.g., a full flat, long-distance job, multiple items, or specialist/heavy items like pianos or gym equipment)
Book 2-3 weeks in advance, particularly for weekend slots when demand is higher. This ensures you get your preferred time and the right van size.

No, you don't need to disassemble furniture before your man and van arrives, though doing so yourself can save time and reduce the overall cost of your move.

If you'd like help with disassembly on the day, mention this in the notes section when you book or discuss it with your driver when confirming. Most drivers are happy to help with basic disassembly like bed frames, tables, or flat-pack furniture, though this will add to the time needed.

For complex items or if you're unsure whether something needs taking apart, it's worth checking with your driver beforehand. They can advise on what will fit through doorways and whether disassembly is necessary.

If you do disassemble items yourself, keep all screws and fittings together in labelled bags—this makes reassembly much easier at your destination.
