Extra hands on your house moving day. Lifting, carrying, loading, unpacking - whatever you need to get the job done.
Moving Day is Exhausting
Even with a removal company, you'll be lifting, directing, unpacking, organizing. It's physically demanding and there's never enough people.
💡 Pro tip: Moving house is when most people injure themselves doing DIY/heavy work. An extra person makes it safer and much faster.
Why Book Extra Help?
Because moving day is stressful enough without worrying about whether you can physically manage it all.
| ✅ With Extra Help | ❌ Without Enough People |
|---|---|
| Heavy items lifted safely | Risk of injury |

What to Expect
Booking Process
Tell me your moving date and rough timings. I'll confirm availability and start time (usually when van arrives or bit before).
On The Day
I turn up when agreed, ready to work. You direct, I lift and carry. Simple as that.
Flexible Finish
When the job's done, we're done. You pay for actual hours worked. If it finishes early, great. If it runs over, I stay till it's sorted.
🔧 DIY Tips
Making moving day easier yourself:
📦 Before the day:
- Pack everything possible in advance
- Label boxes clearly by room
- Dismantle furniture you can
- Clear pathways at both houses
- Have plan for new house layout
🔧 On the day:
- Start early (6am if possible)
- Keep kettle and tea separate (crucial)
- Pack an essentials box
- Take photos of how electronics connect
- Don't try to unpack everything day one
⚠️ Common mistakes:
- Not having enough people
- Starting too late in the day
- Trying to unpack everything immediately
- Not protecting floors/walls
- Running out of energy by lunchtime
💡 Pro trick: Clean old house as you empty each room. Much easier than coming back later.
Rather leave it to a pro? No problem - that's what I'm here for. Give me a call.
Good to Know
📦 Booked removal company? Let me know - I'll work around their schedule. Some removal companies are great but don't provide enough people.
DIY van hire? Even more reason to book extra help. Loading a van efficiently is a skill - I can help maximize space and protect items.
Long day expected? Book me for the full day. Removes the stress of watching the clock and you've got help for the whole move.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does house moving help include?
Whatever you need on moving day - lifting furniture, loading/unloading the van, carrying boxes, dismantling furniture, protecting items, organizing boxes in the new house. Basically an extra pair of hands (and back) when you need it most.
Do you work with removal companies?
Yes - I'm completely independent so I work alongside any removal company or van hire. Sometimes removal companies don't provide enough people, or you're doing it yourself and need extra help. Either scenario works.
Can you help for just part of the day?
Yes - hourly rate means you only pay for what you need. Some people just need help loading, others want someone for the full day. Minimum 2 hours usually, then hourly after that.
What if moving day runs over time?
I just keep working - you pay for the hours I'm there. Most moves do run over, so I try to keep the day clear. Better to have me available than stuck halfway through unloading.
Can you help pack boxes too?
Yes, though most people have packed before moving day. If you need packing help, that's bookable separately in the days before the move. More efficient to do that than rush it on the day.
