What Is a Small Removals Service?
A small removal service is designed for lighter moves that don’t require a full-sized moving truck or a large team. This includes moving the contents of a single room, a few pieces of furniture, or select boxes to another location. It’s the perfect choice for students, renters, single professionals, or anyone who doesn’t need a full house move.

We were moving from South London to South Wales. Ivan has contacted me just to go through the basic info and Miro gave us a call regarding house contents etc. Also I had to send a video of the house etc . We asked then if he could pop in just to have a look, which he gladly agreed to it. He was processional, knowledgeable and very friendly. Made us feel at ease. On the moving day of the crew was just fantastic! There was never a trouble. They reviewed everything and made a quick plan where to start. The team power through and has been very careful and respectful to the property and our belongings. They protected and secured everything in the van! On the arrival in new property unloading went also smoothly and promptly. If you are doubt, please don’t! They all know what they are doing and will make the usually stressful experience very easy and straightforward. From the initial call with Ivan and Miro to the operational team the process was faultless. We cannot recommend enough! Thank you all once again!
