Good to Know
> 📦 **Redecorating?** Book furniture moving to clear the room, then again to put it back when done. Saves your back and makes the job much easier. **Multiple items to move?** Do them all in one visit - more efficient and you only pay the callout once. **Exeter's older houses with narrow stairs?** That's literally most of my work. I know how to get furniture through tight Victorian hallways and up twisting staircases without wrecking anything.
Frequently Asked Questions about Heavy furniture moving in Teignmouth
What counts as heavy furniture?
Sofas, wardrobes, large bed frames, dining tables, sideboards, pianos, gym equipment - basically anything that needs two people or more to lift safely. If you can't move it yourself, that's what I'm here for.
Can you move heavy furniture within my house?
Yes - that's really common. Moving a sofa upstairs, shifting a wardrobe to another bedroom, getting furniture out of the way for decorating. All totally fine.
Will you damage my walls or floors?
Not if I can help it. I use furniture sliders for heavy items on carpets and hard floors, protect door frames and corners, and take my time. I've moved enough furniture through Teignmouth's narrow Victorian hallways to know how to do it without carnage.
Do I need to empty the furniture first?
For wardrobes and drawers - yes, empty them. For sofas and tables - no. The lighter the furniture, the easier and quicker the job, so worth emptying anything you can.
Can you move a piano?
Uprights yes, grands no (they need specialists). Uprights get moved on a dolly and I'll need clear access both ends. They're heavy buggers so I price those separately once I know the situation.
