Where’s the job?

Scope of Works

• assess and confirm which furniture items need moving and assembly (beds, wardrobes, desks, shelves)

• dismantle items required for safe transport and label parts for reassembly

• assemble flatpack and pre-manufactured furniture using standard tools and supplied fixings

• fit fixings and wall anchors and secure tall items to walls where required for safety

• protect floors and carpets with covers and use PPE as needed while moving and fitting

• position finished items to your agreed layout and remove small packaging for recycling or disposal if agreed

Typical Cost

Time on Site

Most single-room moves with furniture assembly take 2–5 hours; small jobs can be 1–2 hours and a full-house move with multiple assemblies can take 1–2 days

Questions to Ask Your Tradie

• are you insured for public liability and goods in transit and can you provide policy details

• do you bring tools, fixings and consumables or will I need to supply specific parts

• do you charge a fixed price per room or an hourly rate and what does the quote include

• are there extra charges for stairs, long carries, parking or lift hire

• can you disassemble and reassemble fitted items (wardrobes, kitchen units) and is that priced separately

• how do you handle missing or damaged parts found on arrival and what are the timescales for follow-up work

How to Avoid Surprises

• clear routes, doorways and stairwells and measure large items and door widths in advance

• book parking, loading bay or lift access and check any building move restrictions

• keep small fixings and relevant instruction leaflets together and tell the tradie about any missing parts

• protect fragile items and remove valuables; confirm who handles disposal or recycling of packaging

• provide a contact number and note any access issues (gates, codes, restricted hours) and advise on pets
