HOUSE REMOVALS ACROSS OXFORDSHIRE AND THE VILLAGES AROUND BANBURY

A house move goes wrong fastest when the vehicle is wrong: too big for the street, or too small so it becomes three trips. Our own fleet runs from vans up to a 36-tonne road train, and we match the vehicle to your street and your volume at the survey. For a tight terrace or a village lane that usually means a couple of vans and a slightly longer carry, not a big lorry stuck on a corner.

We don't price a house move blind over the phone. Guess the volume wrong and moving day falls apart. A quick video survey from your phone, or a home visit if you prefer, takes about twenty minutes and gets you a fixed, itemised quote with nothing hidden in the small print. When there's a chain and a hard completion date, that accuracy is the difference between a calm day and a scramble.

Some people want the whole house boxed for them; others just want the kitchen and the glassware handled and will do the books and clothes themselves. Both are fine. Our packers wrap the fragile things properly (china, mirrors, the odd barometer), and hanging clothes go straight into wardrobe boxes and back out at the other end. Full packing usually adds around 25 to 40% to the move.

Flat-pack that's been standing for ten years, IKEA Pax runs, cabin beds, the sofa that won't go through the door in one piece. We take apart what needs it and put it back together at the new house, so you're not left with an Allen key and a bad evening. It's planned in at the survey, not sprung on you on the day.

Carpet film down the traffic routes, and blankets and covers on the furniture. A muddy February move shouldn't leave marks on a brand-new hall carpet, and it won't. That's standard on every job, not an upsell.

Uprights, grands, gun safes: we've shifted hundreds over the years, and it comes down to technique and the right skates and straps, not brute force. If there's something heavy in the house you're worried about, mention it early and we'll bring the right kit. More on our piano removals page.

Chains break and dates move. If completion and moving day come apart, your belongings go into our containerised store near Banbury, sealed and kept safe, with the first month free on qualifying moves. See our storage page for the detail.

A deposit secures your date and we confirm it in writing on a signed acceptance form. We don't overbook the busy end of the month and quietly drop someone at the last minute. When we say we'll be there on your completion day, the lorry is on the schedule.

Yes. The quickest way to a price is a free video survey: film each room and send the clips on WhatsApp to 07861 930529, or book a live video call. If you prefer, we can visit for a free, no-obligation home survey instead. You can also request a written quote online.

Yes. Completion delays are common when there is a chain. We can hold your belongings in secure containerised storage near Banbury for the gap between exchange and completion, with one month of free storage on qualifying moves.

Packing is optional. We can pack your entire home the day before your move, pack only the breakables such as kitchenware, glass and electronics, or leave the packing entirely to you. Full packing typically adds 25 to 40% to the base move price. See our packing service page.

Yes. We bring reusable plastic wardrobe boxes that keep clothes on their hangers and dust-free, which we collect at the end of moving day. Cardboard wardrobe boxes are available if you need longer-term clothing storage.

Yes. We have moved hundreds of upright and grand pianos as well as safes. Heavy items need careful assessment, specialist equipment such as skates and straps, and an experienced team. See our piano removals page for more detail.

Yes. We run a bi-weekly service from Oxfordshire to Spain, France, Italy and the rest of our European destinations, with shared loads for smaller moves and dedicated vehicles for full houses. We look after the customs paperwork, and European moves include 2 months of free UK storage.

We recommend emptying drawers where possible before moving day. Full drawers add significant weight and increase the risk of damage to heavy furniture. For smaller chests or bedside tables, lighter items like clothing, towels or bedding can usually be left in place if they are not overstuffed. Always remove heavy objects, liquids and fragile or valuable items and pack them separately in boxes.
