Loading & Unloading
The lifting can be the hardest part of a move. Our team can discuss help with loading and unloading as part of an agreed removal or delivery job.
What to plan
Tell us what needs lifting, how many larger items there are and whether stairs, a lift or a long walk from the vehicle are involved. We can then discuss the number of people and the equipment appropriate for your job. We can work with stairs where there is no lift when the access and load are agreed in advance.
Care for belongings
Our vans carry blankets, straps and moving equipment. We can discuss how agreed items should be loaded and secured for the journey, and whether dismantling or reassembly is needed. Packing and unpacking are optional services to ask about when requesting a quote.
Scope and availability
If you need lifting help without transport, ask us first so we can confirm whether that service is available. Packing or furniture dismantling can also be discussed separately and included only when agreed in the quote. Ask about early starts or evening slots if your schedule requires them; availability is confirmed before booking.
Loading and unloading checklist
Send the details below before requesting lifting help. The route between the vehicle and the room matters as much as the item itself. Photos of entrances, stairs and bulky furniture can help explain the access without relying on a short description.
- List the items to be lifted, with dimensions and approximate weights where known.
- Give the floor at each address, the number of stair flights and any lift restrictions.
- Explain parking and the distance from the van to the entrance.
- Identify narrow doorways, tight turns and anything that may need dismantling.
- Say whether you need transport, loading, unloading or a combination.
| Location | Information to confirm |
|---|---|
| Collection | Where the items are, how they reach the van and whether they are ready to move. |
| Vehicle | The agreed load, space required and any help needed to secure belongings. |
| Delivery | Parking, stairs or lift access and the room where each item should go. |
Prepare for the agreed lifting work
- Send your item list and access photos when asking for a quote.
- Discuss the suitable crew and any packing or dismantling you need.
- Confirm the agreed tasks before booking and tell us if the load or access changes.
Do not assume that an extra lifting task or labour-only service is included. Ask us to confirm the scope first.
