We offer a friendly, efficient service designed to make it a smooth and stress-free experience for you.

We are based in Ipswich but service the south Suffolk / north Essex area. We are not limited to this area and have recently been to areas as far afield as Southampton, Slough and Birmingham.

We are available 7 days a week but regularly get fully booked up in advance, should you require something at short notice please call us on 07470 503 760, we will always try to fit you in.

Our Services

We can carry out single item short journeys right through to full loads over long distances. Large single items such as sofas, beds, large chairs, white goods, garden furniture etc. We can collect or deliver, a perfect option when using ebay, Gumtree or Facebook to buy or sell.

We can also collect from stores such as Harveys, B& Q, Hughes and B& M often cheaper and quicker than they can do it themselves!

We run an extended Luton van with tail lift. This enables us to effectively move a 1-2 bedroom house /flat within 2-4 hours. The better things are packed the quicker we can load /unload, which will save you money!

We will carry out multiple runs until the job is done, full or partial removal jobs.

Waste removal can be carried out. We hold a Waste Carriers Licence (a legal requirement), and items will be taken to an appropriate recycling plant (we will not collect rubble or wet waste as we need to keep our vehicle clean, tidy and dry, ready for the next job) a waste disposal note will be issued at collection.

House and garage clearances can be undertaken and the items disposed of or put in to your choice of storage.

Student moves – are you going to university or returning after a year away, we have experience and can help you move all your stuff in one go.

Office moves – relocations or just transportation of documents into storage are all available at competitive rates.

Why should you pick us?

You are effectively hiring a van with free labour thrown in, there are no mileage charges and if something were to happen we are completely insured, including Public Liability Insurance and Goods in Transit Insurance (which covers your items while they are on our van, something that no hire van gives you).

We do this for a living, our van is sign written and kept well maintained and clean. We do not operate “only at evenings and weekends”.

Payment – we do not ask for a deposit, payment in full is due when we finish the job, we accept cash or debit cards. If we have disposed of waste on your behalf we will forward the waste transfer note following disposal.

If you think it’s expensive to hire a professional, wait until you hire an amateur!
