### Hot Tubs Are Seriously Heavy
Even small 4-person hot tubs weigh **400-500kg empty**. **This isn't a job for you and some mates** - it needs proper planning and equipment.
> 💡 **Pro tip:** Hot tub moving is complex. Get quotes from a couple of people and check they've actually moved hot tubs before. This isn't like moving a sofa.

### Why Specialist Knowledge Matters
Because hot tubs are **expensive and easy to damage** if you don't know what you're doing.
| ✅ Experienced Hot Tub Moving | ❌ DIY Attempt | |------------------------------|----------------| | Proper equipment (dollies, straps) | Brute force and hoping | | Know how to drain safely | Water damage to electrics | | Route planned for weight | Damaged lawn/paving/walls | | Protected during transport | Cracked shell or damaged jets |

### What's Involved
**🔧 Hot Tub Moving Process**
| Stage | What Happens | Time | |-------|--------------|------| | **Drain** | Empty completely, disconnect electrics | 1-2 hrs | | **Prepare** | Remove panels if needed, secure cover | 30 mins | | **Move** | Load onto trailer/transport | 1-2 hrs | | **Position** | Place at new site, level | 1-2 hrs |
**Note:** Reconnecting electrics needs a qualified electrician - that's a separate job.

### Why Quote Required
Every hot tub move is different: - Size and weight varies (2-person vs 8-person) - Access differs (wide driveway vs narrow side path) - Distance between properties - Ground conditions (soft lawn vs concrete) - Equipment needed
I need to see the job to quote it properly.

✅ **Garden repositioning** - moving within same property

Good to Know
> 📦 **Need electrics reconnected?** Hot tubs need proper electrical connection by a qualified spark. I can recommend someone or you can use your own. **Really difficult access?** Some jobs need a crane or specialist lifting equipment. I'll advise if that's the case - adds to cost but sometimes it's the only way. **Exeter's older houses with narrow access?** Some jobs just aren't practical. I'll be honest upfront rather than get stuck trying.
Frequently Asked Questions about Hot tub moving in Crediton
Can you move all types of hot tubs?
Most portable hot tubs yes - the ones that sit on a base. Built-in spas or really large commercial-size hot tubs need specialist spa movers. I'll assess and advise honestly if your tub needs specialists.
Do I need to drain the hot tub first?
Yes - hot tubs are extremely heavy when full of water (easily 2000kg+). Needs draining completely before moving. If you're not sure how to drain it properly, I can help with that as part of the job.
Can you move a hot tub upstairs?
Ground floor to ground floor usually yes. Upstairs or onto decking needs careful assessment - depends on access, weight, and whether the structure can support it. Some jobs aren't practical.
Will you damage my lawn/patio moving the hot tub?
I use boards and proper equipment to spread the weight, but won't lie - moving a hot tub across soft ground can leave marks. Paving and concrete are fine. I'll advise on the best route.
How much does hot tub moving cost?
Depends massively on the size, access at both properties, and distance. This isn't a standard job - I need to see what's involved before quoting. Usually half day minimum plus specialist equipment hire if needed.
