When one pair of hands isn't enough - heavy lifting, large assemblies, and jobs that need two people working together safely.
Some Jobs Just Need Two People
You know the ones. Too heavy, too awkward, too many things happening at once. The jobs where you start thinking "I'll ask my mate Dave" then realize Dave's got a bad back and you value the friendship more than the free help.
That's where we come in.
💡 Pro tip: Booking two people properly is safer, faster, and honestly more pleasant than trying to coerce reluctant friends or family into helping you lug furniture up narrow stairs.

What to Expect
Step 1: Book & Brief
When you call, describe the job. We'll confirm whether it genuinely needs two people (we're honest about this). We'll give you a time estimate and hourly rate.
Step 2: We Arrive Together
Both of us turn up at the same time, with appropriate tools and lifting equipment. We assess the job, plan the approach, and confirm the quote.
Step 3: Get It Done Safely
We work together to complete the task properly. Heavy lifting done with proper technique, no rushing, no damage to your walls or the item itself.
🔧 DIY Tips
Want to tackle a two-person job with a friend? Here's how to do it safely:
🔧 Before you start
- Measure doorways, stairways, and tight corners
- Clear the route completely - no obstacles
- Protect floors and walls with old blankets
- Have the right tools ready (screwdrivers to remove doors, etc.)
💪 Lifting technique
- Both people agree who's leading before you start
- Lift with your legs, not your back
- Keep the load close to your body
- Take breaks - don't try to rush
- If it feels wrong, stop and reassess
📐 Tricky stairs
- Tilt tall items diagonally to reduce height
- Person at the bottom takes more weight
- Move one step at a time
- Use the wall to stabilize (with protection)
⚠️ Common mistakes
- Trying to save time by rushing (causes damage)
- Not protecting doorframes and corners (dings everywhere)
- Poor communication (one person moves before the other's ready)
- Underestimating how heavy/awkward something is
💡 Pro trick: For really heavy items, use furniture sliders on hard floors or old bits of carpet on tile. Sliding is easier than lifting when you can.
Rather leave it to a pro? No problem - that's what I'm here for. Give me a call.
Good to Know
🎨 Got multiple heavy jobs? Do them all in one visit. Once we're both on site, it's efficient to work through a list rather than booking separate trips.
Honest assessment - If we genuinely think one person can handle your job safely, we'll tell you. No point paying for two when one will do.
Exeter's older properties - We're used to narrow stairs, tight corners, and awkward doorways. That Georgian townhouse staircase doesn't scare us.
Last-minute needs - Moving day chaos? House clearance help? We can often fit urgent jobs in, especially midweek.
Frequently Asked Questions
What kind of jobs need two people?
Big furniture assemblies, heavy items up or down stairs, large mirrors or artwork, bathtub removal, moving garden sheds, anything too heavy or awkward for one person to safely handle. If you've been looking at something thinking 'I can't do that alone', that's when you need two of us.
How much does a two-person job cost?
£85-90 per hour total - that's for both of us, not each. So you're getting two skilled pairs of hands for less than twice the single rate. Much better value than trying to rope in a mate who doesn't really want to help!
Do I need to provide any equipment?
We bring standard tools and lifting equipment. If your job needs something specific (like a piano dolly or furniture straps), we'll let you know when you book. We've got most things covered though.
Can one of you do something else while the other person helps me?
Not really - when you book a two-person job, we need to work together on the same task. If you've got separate jobs, better to book individual visits. But if there's spare time after the main job, we can often squeeze in related tasks.
How do I know if my job needs two people?
Send us a photo or description. We'll be honest - if one person can safely handle it, we'll tell you. But if it genuinely needs two (heavy, awkward, or complex), we won't risk you or us by trying to wing it with one.
