Pricing & Payment

Are there any hidden charges?

We want to be honest with you. The price we give you will be the final price, as long as the job is exactly what you told us. If there are any changes, it may change the cost.

When do I need to pay?

Usually, we ask for payment when the work is done. Sometimes, we might need you to make a bank transfer to guarantee the booking. But, we will tell you if that’s necessary.

If you want to cancel your booking, please tell us 48 hours before the date. You won’t pay extra, except if your booking is on a busy day. If that happens, we will tell you before your booking. If you want to change your booking to an earlier date, let us know at least seven days in advance.

Yes, we can do it! We may be able to do it on the same day if you call us. If we can’t do it, we’ll suggest someone else who can.

Do I need to be there during the job?

If you can, it’s better to be there when you decide where to put your things after you move.

After we confirm a booking, we promise to complete the job. We won’t leave you for a higher-paying job. We prioritize our booked customers.

Our vans have two seats for passengers and you can travel with us for free.

In most cases, you will have the van only for yourself. If there are other things inside, we will make sure they don’t affect your move.

Can we help put things in the van?

Sure! Your help saves time and money. We just ask that you help us make sure items are not left outside in the rain or leaning against the van.

Can you help take things out of the van when we get there?

That’s our job! You pay us to do the lifting and shifting, and while we welcome any help that you might offer, we suggest leaving the trickier items to us.

We can move heavy and large things, including upright pianos! If you have an unusual item to move, just let us know and we’ll see how we can help.

Should I unplug my washing machine before you arrive?

We suggest that you unplug your washing machine before we come, but don’t worry if you can’t do it yourself, we’ll help you. Sometimes there can be problems when removing pipes, and we can’t cover any damages that may occur. Also, your washing machine might damage the floor when it’s moved, so you may need to protect the floor.

Can you move gas barbecues?

Yes, we can do it, but first, they have to be completely disconnected.

Do you move animals?

If something is lost or broken, we have insurance that will pay to fix it, replace it, or give you your money back. This doesn’t happen very often, though.

Will you repaint my walls if they get marked?

We cannot help pay for redecorating because removing items can be risky and may cause scuffs. We try our best not to damage anything, but moving heavy things in tight spaces makes it difficult.
