Usually, yes. On a shared load you split the truck with other households and pay only for your portion, which suits a small one-bedroom load. Our shared-load guide explains how it works.

A mini move is a smaller vehicle and crew sized to a small load — ideal for a one-bedroom flat, a bachelor pad or just the essentials, so you are not paying for a big truck you do not need. See our mini removals service.

Declutter first, pack what you can yourself, book mid-month if you can, and choose a shared load for long-distance. Then compare on a written, itemised quote. Start with a quick free quote.

Sturdy boxes in two or three sizes, bubble wrap and packing paper for fragiles, strong tape, a marker, and a few wardrobe and specialty boxes. You can order the lot through our packing materials range in one go.

Roughly 15 to 25 for a one-bedroom flat, 40 to 70 for a two-to-three-bedroom home, and 100-plus for a large house. It is better to have a few too many than to run short. For a small move, a mini move keeps it simple.

Wrap each item individually, stand plates on edge, and fill every gap with paper so nothing shifts. Mark the box fragile and load it near the top. Our team can supply the right bubble wrap and cushioning or pack the fragiles for you.

Yes, for light and unbreakable items — reusing clean boxes is budget-friendly and greener. Use new, double-walled boxes for anything heavy, fragile or long-distance. A quick free quote will tell you what your move needs.

It depends on your volume, distance and access at both ends. Local moves are priced on crew and time; long-distance moves are more affordable on a shared load. For a small move, a mini move keeps costs down.

No physical address, large cash deposits up front, a quote given without seeing what you are moving, no written contract, and unbranded trucks. Our guide to choosing a removal company helps you compare.

It helps to have you or someone you trust on site to point out fragile items and confirm what goes where, but our crews handle the whole move with care. Our removals team keeps you informed at every step.

Start with a plan, not a box. Make an inventory, give each department a colour, appoint a “move champion” per team, and book your movers and building access early. Our office removals team can help you map the whole sequence out.

Small offices need a week or two; larger offices with servers and bulk furniture are best started six to eight weeks out. Pack the things you rarely use first and leave daily essentials for last. For a timeline built around your move, just request a free quote.

Back up your data first, then photograph the cabling, bag and label every cable, and pack machines upright in original boxes or well-padded cartons. Coordinate the shut-down and restart with your IT person, and let our professional office movers handle the heavy servers and screens.

Give each department a colour, number every box, and write the contents and destination room on two sides and the top — never just the lid. Keep a master list, and pack a “day-one” box per team. The right packing materials and labels make this quick.

Pack one clearly-marked box per team with chargers, the kettle, a few essential files, stationery and anything you will want in the first hour at the new address. Our office-move planning guide has a full checklist.
