Moving and lifting help — Handyman
Use this service when the main need is people to move identified items, rather than a complete relocation package. Give dimensions, approximate weights where known and the full carrying route, including stairs, tight turns and parking distance.
Service scope
Moving and lifting help provides labour for handling agreed household items within or between accessible areas. It is not automatically a full removals service, vehicle booking or specialist heavy-lift operation; the load and route must be assessed first.
What is normally included
- Moving agreed furniture within a property
- Loading or unloading a separately arranged vehicle
- Team handling of assessed household items
What is not included
- Assumed transport or transit insurance
- Unplanned handling of exceptionally heavy or specialist items
Typical tasks
- Review the item list and handling route
- Plan crew and equipment needs
- Protect agreed items and contact surfaces
- Move or load the accepted items
- Place items in agreed accessible positions
What to include in your brief
- Item list and approximate sizes
- Known weights or handling markings
- Stairs, lifts and narrow passages
- Collection and placement positions
- Vehicle arrangements if loading is involved
Choosing the right professional
Ask how the provider will assess the load and route and whether suitable handling aids are included. Do not assume that adding another person makes every object safe to lift or that transport is part of a labour-only booking.
Important considerations
- Awkward loads and restricted routes can cause injury or property damage
- Unknown weights may require different equipment or a specialist mover
