Good to Know
> 📦 **Really heavy safe?** Anything over 250kg might need specialist safe movers with proper lifting equipment. I'll advise honestly. **Need dismantling?** Treadmills and gym equipment often need partial disassembly to get through doors - I can handle that. **Exeter's older houses with narrow stairs?** Some items just won't fit. I'll assess honestly before we start rather than get stuck halfway.
Frequently Asked Questions about Heavy item moving in Teignmouth
What qualifies as a heavy item?
Safes, large gym equipment (treadmills, multi-gyms), washing machines, american-style fridges, arcade machines, pool tables - basically anything over 100kg or too heavy/awkward for one person. If you physically can't move it yourself, that's what I mean.
Can you move a safe upstairs?
Depends on the weight and access. Small home safes (under 150kg) usually yes if there's good stair access. Larger safes might need specialist equipment. I'll assess and advise - some jobs need proper safe movers.
Will you damage my floors moving heavy items?
Not if I can avoid it. I use proper moving equipment - dollies, furniture sliders, floor protection. For really heavy stuff like safes I use boards to spread the load. Can't guarantee zero marks on soft wood floors with extreme weight, but I minimize risk.
Can you move gym equipment?
Yes - treadmills, exercise bikes, weight benches, multi-gyms. Some need partial dismantling to get through doorways which I can do. Just need to know what it is and where it's going.
How much notice do you need for heavy item moves?
24-48 hours usually. For really heavy stuff (safes over 200kg) I might need a helper which takes a bit more planning. Give me a call and we'll work out what's needed.
