What a Leeds move actually involves

A house, an office and a student room are different jobs. The list, the building and the keys decide the day, not the label on the enquiry.

Furniture labelled by room before loading

People sometimes send one enquiry that mixes a family house, a city office and a student room. They can all be moved. They should not be planned as the same job.

House moves and office moves are the work we do most. A student room is occasional, and it is smaller.

A house

The inventory is every room you want emptied: beds, sofas, loft boxes, the shed if you said so. Terraces in Leeds often add a tight stair and parking on both sides. The quote follows that list. Start with house removals when the whole home is going.

You still handle keys, meters and anything the solicitor wants left behind. We load, move and set furniture down.

An office

The limit is usually the building, not the desks. Goods lifts, loading bays and a Monday reopen time need a named contact at each end. Staff should clear personal drawers. IT equipment should be shut down by your own team. The planning notes for that are on how to move an office in Leeds, and the service itself is office removals.

A student room

One room, a few larger pieces, and a busy weekend in Headingley or Hyde Park. Do not book a full house crew for a car’s worth of boxes. If the house is emptying because the tenancy has ended for everyone, say so. That is closer to a house job.

Insurance is provided on the jobs we book. Ask what is covered. Get a free quote with addresses and a list, and we will say which service fits.

Frequently asked questions

Which service should I book?

Send the list. A whole home is a house move. Desks and files are an office move. A room in a shared house is smaller and is booked as such.

Can one quote cover two addresses?

Yes, if both are on the enquiry. A second stop that appears on the day is not included.

Moving tips

Five jobs before you get the keys

Keys, meters, parking and a box for the first night decide whether the van can finish. Do these before the crew arrives.

Moving tips

Downsizing in Leeds

A smaller home needs a shorter list. Measure the rooms you are moving into before the van is booked around furniture that will not fit.

Moving tips

How to cut damage on a house move

Most damage starts with loose glass, overloaded boxes and a stair nobody mentioned. A clear path and honest packing prevent more than a last-minute blanket.
