Furniture moving and rearranging in Cirencester

Rearranging a room is the sort of job that stalls until somebody helps. I move and rearrange furniture in Cirencester homes, usually as part of a wider list of small jobs on the same visit.

What is included

Bedroom furniture rearrangement. Lounge swaps (pulling the sofa away for cleaning, moving a sideboard, turning a room round). Helping with a clear-out before a charity collection. Moving heavy furniture upstairs or downstairs within reason. Garden furniture in and out for the season. Bringing a tumble dryer up from the garage. Shifting a piano's position within a room (not between floors). General help when something just needs another pair of hands.

I bring furniture sliders, a sack trolley, a small dolly and straps. Most heavy items can be moved solo with the right kit. I cover the carpet and take care round door frames so nothing gets knocked.

What is NOT included

A full house move needs a removals firm with proper contents insurance. Some items are two-person minimum for safety: a full upright piano between floors, a very heavy wardrobe with the drawers still in, a large safe. When you call, I'll tell you if the job needs a second person, and I can arrange one.

How long it takes

A single bedroom rearrangement is usually an hour to an hour and a half. A full lounge rearrangement plus clear-out can fill a half-day. Garden furniture out in March or back in October takes about 30 minutes, so it's worth adding to a visit for other jobs.

Pricing

The first hour is £55 and includes getting to you if you're within five miles of Cirencester. It's the minimum charge, so it's worth saving up a few small jobs for one visit. After that it's £35 an hour, charged in half-hours. Got a longer list? A half day (4 hours) is £125 and a full day (8 hours) is £230. If a second person is genuinely needed, that's arranged and costed separately before the job starts.

Common questions

Can you help me move house? Not a full house move. But I can help with the awkward bits: the shed, the loft clear-out, a few specific items to a relative's house.

Will you protect the carpet? Yes, with covers and sliders under furniture feet.

My sofa will not fit through the door. Can you help? Sometimes yes, by removing the door, the door frame, or taking the sofa legs off. Send a photo of the doorway and the sofa before booking.
