How It Works

1. Pre-Move Survey

During your free survey, we identify any items needing dismantling or reassembly. Everything is agreed in advance, so there are no surprises on the day. All tasks are confirmed, ensuring everything is planned in advance and completed efficiently on the day.

2. Move Day Support

Our handyman will dismantle the agreed items shortly before loading begins. At your new home, they reassemble everything in your chosen rooms.

3. Clear, Upfront Pricing

Each item is priced individually to keep things simple and transparent.

  • Saves Time on Move Day

    No last-minute dismantling, no delays, and no scrambling for tools. We keep your move running smoothly and efficiently.

  • Keeps Your Furniture Safe

    Our team knows how to dismantle and rebuild furniture correctly, preventing damage to fittings, fixings, or delicate parts.

  • Ideal for Larger or Complex Items

    Sheds, heavy wardrobes and garden play equipment often need careful handling. We ensure everything is taken apart correctly and reassembled securely.

A Stress-Free Move from Start to Finish
