Pricing guide

Costs for heavy-item moves are driven by the item type and the access or handling difficulty. Simple moves using standard trolleys and a 2–3 person crew are typically less expensive than jobs that need specialist rigging, crane or repeated stair carries; regional callout and hourly rates also influence the final cost. After-hours attendance, large equipment hire and permit requirements can further increase the overall price.

  • Item type and weight

    Bulky or dense items such as pianos, safes or pool tables often trigger specialist handling and increase scope.

  • Access and carry route

    Stairs, tight landings, long carries or restricted access typically add significant labour time and complexity.

  • Crew size and labour-hours

    Quotes are based on crew labour-hours, so moves needing more hands or slower handling usually require more labour time.

  • Equipment hire and permits

    Crane, forklift or other specialist hire and any necessary permit allowances are treated as additional material costs and planning effort.

  • Callout, timing and region

    Regional callout and hourly rates are applied, and after-hours attendance typically attracts a higher rate than standard hours.
