How many helpers can I order for my move?
The number of helpers you can order for your move depends on the size of the van you have chosen. For most moves, you can order one or two helpers along with one van.
If you have selected a smaller van, one helper should be sufficient for the job. However, if you have chosen a larger van to accommodate a more substantial amount of belongings, you might want to consider ordering two helpers to ensure a smoother and more efficient moving process.
If you order one helper, it means that the driver will assist to load and unload the van.
If you order 2 men it means that the driver and helper will do all the loading.
What tasks will the helpers perform?
Our helpers are here to make your move as smooth and efficient as possible. They are trained to perform a variety of tasks to ensure a seamless moving experience, including:
Loading and unloading: Our helpers will carefully load your belongings onto the moving vehicle and unload them at your new location. They are skilled in handling items of all sizes and weights, ensuring that your possessions are transported safely and securely.

Assembly and reassembly of furniture: Our helpers are experienced in disassembling and reassembling furniture, so you don't have to worry about dealing with complex instructions or missing pieces. They'll take care of the heavy lifting and ensure your furniture is ready to use in your new home.
When you book our services, the tasks performed by the helpers will depend on the number of helpers and the specific services you choose:
If you order one helper who also serves as the driver, they will assist with loading your items onto the vehicle and securing them for transport. Once you arrive at your new location, the driver/helper will help with unloading as well.
If you order two helpers, both will be responsible for loading and unloading your items, ensuring that the process is efficient and your belongings are handled with care.
Please note that for safety reasons, our staff reserves the right to refuse to carry large or heavy objects with the client when only one helper is booked. This policy is in place to protect both the customer and our staff from potential injuries. If you have large or heavy items to move, we recommend booking two helpers to ensure a safe and smooth moving experience.
When should I consider ordering two helpers?
You should consider ordering two helpers for your move in the following situations:
Size of your move: If you have a larger move, such as a full apartment or house, two helpers will be more efficient in loading and unloading your belongings. This will save you time and make the moving process smoother.
Heavy or bulky items: If you have heavy or oversized items like large furniture, appliances, or a piano, two helpers can ensure these items are moved safely and securely without causing damage or injury.
Limited time frame: If you're on a tight schedule, having two helpers can significantly reduce the time it takes to complete your move, allowing you to settle into your new home more quickly.
Stairs or difficult access: If your move involves navigating stairs, narrow hallways, or other challenging spaces, two helpers can work together to manoeuvre your belongings with greater ease and care.
Packing and unpacking: If you require assistance with packing and unpacking your items, two helpers can work concurrently, making the process more efficient and stress-free.
Ultimately, ordering two helpers can provide a more efficient and safer moving experience. Consider your specific needs and the complexity of your move when deciding whether to enlist the help of two professionals

Yes, our staff have the right to refuse carrying large or heavy objects if they believe it poses a safety risk to themselves, the client, or the property. Our team members are trained to handle a wide range of items, but they must prioritise safety above all else.
There are several reasons why our staff may refuse to carry a large or heavy object:
If the object exceeds the weight limits specified by our company guidelines, our team may not be able to move it safely without specialised equipment.
If the object's dimensions make it impossible to navigate through doorways, hallways, or staircases without causing damage, our staff may not be able to proceed.
If our team members believe that moving the object will put their health and safety at risk due to the potential for strains or other injuries, they may refuse to carry it.
