SPECIALIST MOVES
What specialists moves cover
Specialist moves are for items that are too large, heavy or awkward for standard removals. This includes items such as pianos, snooker tables, oversized sofas and other bulky furniture that need planning before they’re moved.
These jobs often involve restricted access, tight spaces, stairs, or items that can’t simply be lifted and carried. The focus is on assessing the move properly and choosing a sensible method rather than forcing it.
If an item feels outside the normal scope of a man and van job, it usually falls under specialist moves.
How specialists moves work
Specialist moves begin with an assessment of the item and the space it needs to move through. This includes considering size, weight, access, stairs, doorways and any restrictions that might affect the move.
Once the approach is agreed, the item is prepared and moved using appropriate handling methods, with care taken at each stage. These jobs are planned rather than rushed, ensuring the item and the surrounding property are protected throughout.
Because every specialist move is different, details are usually discussed in advance to make sure the job is handled properly on the day.
Local specialists moves done right
Because we’re based locally, specialist moves are handled with an understanding of the types of properties and access issues common in the area. Older buildings, tight staircases, narrow doorways and shared spaces are all factored in before the move begins.
Specialist moves are the right option when an item needs thought rather than speed. If something can’t be moved safely without planning, this service allows the job to be approached properly instead of forced.
The aim is simple: move difficult items sensibly and without unnecessary risk.
Typical removals jobs include:
🎹 Pianos
🎱 Snooker and pool tables
🛋️ Oversized or awkward sofas
🪑 Large solid furniture and cabinets
📦 Heavy or unusually shaped items
🏠 Items with restricted access or tight staircases
Specialist moves are usually defined by access and handling rather than distance. Some items are heavy but straightforward, while others are awkwardly shaped or need careful positioning to move through doorways, staircases or shared spaces.
These jobs often require slowing things down and planning the route before anything is moved. By assessing the item and the space first, the move can be carried out sensibly, reducing the risk of damage to both the item and the property.
If an item looks manageable at first glance but becomes complicated once access is considered, it’s usually best handled as a specialist move.
