A Move Manager watches it and sends you a written quote, usually within a few hours on working days.

Video on a laptop, or too big for WhatsApp?

Upload it straight to our Dropbox. You don’t need an account.

What happens after you send it

  1. We watch all of it

    Your Move Manager reviews every clip and notes the furniture, volume, access and anything that needs special handling.

  2. We check nothing’s missing

    We write up an itemised list of what we’ve seen and can send it to you to check. If something’s unclear we’ll ask — a missed wardrobe can mean not enough van space on the day.

  3. You get a written quote

    Usually within a few hours on working days. We’ll follow up a few days later in case you have questions.

Can’t upload it, or not sure it’s good enough?

We can do a live video call on WhatsApp or FaceTime instead. You walk round, we tell you what to point the camera at. It takes about 10 minutes.
