Furniture Delivery Services
Marketplace & Store Collections
Fast, affordable pickup from Facebook Marketplace, Gumtree, IKEA, Currys, B&Q, and more.
- Ideal for collecting large or bulky purchases you can’t transport
- Pickup from private sellers, retail stores, clearance outlets, or warehouses
- Supports IKEA click-and-collect, Marketplace furniture, and Gumtree one-offs
- Driver assistance with loading, wrapping, and securing items
- Same-day or scheduled collection slots
Buying furniture or appliances online is easy — getting them home isn’t. Our Marketplace & Store Collection service is perfect for Facebook Marketplace finds, Gumtree bargains, IKEA flat-packs, appliance store purchases, auction wins, charity shop items, and anything too big for your car.
We coordinate directly with sellers, handle loading and protection, and deliver straight to your door. Whether it’s a sofa from Marketplace, drawers from IKEA, or a fridge from Currys, our man & van drivers provide an affordable, reliable alternative to expensive in-store delivery options.
Single-Item Transport & Small Moves
Perfect for sofas, wardrobes, appliances, and small loads between properties.
- Ideal for single pieces of furniture or 2–5 item moves
- Great for tenants, students, and partial house moves
- Transport sofas, mattresses, wardrobes, white goods, and boxed items
- Flexible routes for multi-stop collections or drop-offs
- Lower cost than traditional removals services
When you only need a sofa, mattress, wardrobe, or a few items moved, a full removal service is overkill. Our Single-Item & Small Moves option gives you a simple, cost-effective way to move household items between homes, storage units, student accommodation, or rental properties.
Popular uses include transporting appliances bought online, moving furniture between rooms or addresses, or relocating small loads that don’t require a team of movers. It’s a fast, budget-friendly way to move everyday furniture with minimal hassle — ideal for short-distance or same-day transport.
Delicate, High-Value & Specialist Item Transport
Careful handling for antiques, glass, artwork, mirrors, and fragile items.
- Suitable for antiques, glass cabinets, mirrors, artwork, pianos, and collectibles
- Extra protection with padding, wrapping, and secure strapping
- Optional two-person handling for heavy or awkward items
- Direct, low-risk transport with no unnecessary unloading
- Ideal for home moves, collectors, galleries, and interior designers
Some items need more than just transport — they need expert care. Our drivers handle delicate furniture, antique pieces, glass mirrors, artwork, musical instruments, and specialist items that require added protection. Each job includes proper wrapping, padding, and secure loading to prevent damage during transit.
Whether you’re moving a valuable mirror from a Facebook Marketplace seller, transporting antiques to storage, or delivering artwork between properties, we provide a safe and reliable solution built around careful handling and peace of mind.
