Everything the crew handles on the day
Each move takes in the lifting at both ends, the transport between them and the careful placement at the new address. Sofas and mattresses are blanket-wrapped, the corners of wooden pieces are padded, and the load is strapped so nothing shifts on the drive across the city. Pack your own boxes and we simply load and go; leave a few awkward last things and we will sort those with you.
We map the route around Bath's realities before setting off: the pedestrian heart where no vehicle follows, the streets too steep or narrow for a larger van, and the hours the centre fills with visitors. A little forethought is why a move that looks awkward on paper still finishes on time.
Period stairs and hillside approaches
A large share of Bath's homes are Georgian or Victorian, which means original staircases that turn sharply, tall floors and doorways never cut for a modern three-seater. The crew is used to guiding a bed frame round a half-landing and knowing when a headboard or a leg is better removed than forced. A couple of minutes spent dismantling beats a scuffed wall or a damaged piece every time.
When you ask for a quote, tell us the floor and whether the house sits on a slope. In a city this hilly that one detail decides how many people and what size of van we send, so nobody is caught short on the morning.
Getting the van near a listed address
Access is usually the quiet difficulty of a Bath move. Much of the centre is permit-controlled or held to short loading windows, and the wrong bay turns a calm start into a penalty notice. We will tell you what your street is likely to allow and how close the van can realistically get, so you can arrange a bay suspension or a permit if the address needs one.
Where the van simply cannot reach the door, we work with what the road offers and keep the carry as short and as safe as the layout will let us.
How we price a move and when to book
Each move is costed on its size, the access at both ends and the distance between the addresses. Asking is free and there is no obligation once you have the number, and what you get is a fixed figure agreed in advance rather than a meter climbing while you watch.
Weekends and the end of the month fill first here, especially around the university term dates, so it pays to hold a date early. Get in touch and we will confirm what is free for the day you need.
