Seven things, in a patch that is a county town at the middle and a great deal of lane around the edges. Everything below is surveyed before it is priced.
Whole households, surveyed first.
Georgian and Victorian town property, Poundbury terraces and apartments, post-war and modern estates, and the family homes people spend thirty years filling. The loft, the garage and the shed counted rather than forgotten.
Read more →The approach decides the vehicle.
Cottages, farms and smallholdings across the villages. Single-track lanes, low branches, gateways built for a tractor and surfaces that soften after rain — all driven before a vehicle is committed.
Read more →A room, a collection, one heavy thing.
Two people and a smaller vehicle, booked by the job — including saleroom, auction and dealer collections, which this part of Dorset generates a great many of and which are rarely as simple as they look.
Read more →Containerised, in our own yard.
Wrapped, listed on an inventory and racked indoors, loaded by the same crews that pack the house. Household between completions and during building work; business for stock, records and equipment.
Read more →Rarely one step.
Family house to bungalow, bungalow to something smaller. Storage quoted alongside the move rather than after it, and an honest conversation at survey about what genuinely will not fit in the new place.
Full, part, or just the breakables.
Cell partitions for glass, purpose-made cases for framed work and mirrors, proper protection for lamps and marble. Materials chosen per item rather than per room, and taken away when we leave.
France, Spain, Italy and Portugal.
Route-pair framed from Dorchester, with export wrapping specified for the longer road and storage here while residence paperwork completes.
Read more →Four things move the number: how much is going, the access at both ends, how much packing you want done, and how far it travels. Not the season, not how urgent it sounds, not what somebody else quoted.
That also makes quotes comparable. If you are weighing us against another firm, check both have measured the same volume and assume the same packing depth — most of the difference between two prices lives there.
Unsure which you need? Describe it on the quote form. Questions covers what comes up next, and coverage shows where we work.
Send both addresses and a rough idea of the volume. We come out and look — or do it on a video call if that suits you better — then quote in writing.
