Practical moving day help - an extra pair of hands for lifting, carrying, loading, unloading, whatever you need. Cheaper than hiring full movers when you just need some help.
### Your Mates Said They'd Help...
...but will they actually show up on time? And will they work as hard as you need them to? Or will you be doing most of the heavy lifting yourself while they "supervise"?
> 💡 **Pro tip:** Book me as backup even if you've got friends helping. Better to have me and not need me than need me and not have me. You can always cancel if your mates come through.

Good to Know
> 💪 **Heavy items:** If you've got a piano, massive wardrobe, or anything genuinely heavy, tell me when booking. Some items need specialist movers, not just an extra pair of hands. **Insurance:** I'm insured for labor, but if you've hired a van, that's your insurance responsibility. Make sure you're covered. **What to provide:** Clear instruction on what goes where, access to both properties, maybe a cup of tea. That's it. **Coordination vs labor:** This is physical help. If you need someone managing the whole day, that's the moving day coordination service instead.
Frequently Asked Questions about Moving day help in Ottery St Mary
What's the difference between this and hiring movers?
Removal companies move your entire house with a team and van. This is just an extra pair of hands to help you - if you've hired a van yourself, need help loading/unloading, or just need someone strong to shift heavy stuff. Much cheaper than full movers.
What kind of help can you provide?
Lifting and carrying boxes and furniture, loading/unloading vans, assembling/disassembling furniture, basically any physical help you need on moving day. Not coordination (that's a different service) - this is practical hands-on help.
Do I need to hire you for the full day?
No - book me for however long you think you'll need help. Could be 2 hours to help load the van, could be 5 hours to do both ends of the move. Whatever makes sense for your situation.
Can you help at both the old and new house?
Yes - if they're both local, I can help load at the old house, then meet you at the new house to help unload. Just factor in travel time between properties when booking.
I've got mates helping - do I still need you?
Depends - are your mates actually going to show up and work hard, or will they arrive late and spend half the time having a brew? If you want reliable help that definitely turns up, I'm your backup plan.
