Will the crew stay until my whole move is finished?

Questions and answers

What if the move takes longer than the estimate?

The crew keeps working until it is done. You pay for the actual time, in 15-minute increments after the 3-hour minimum.

Can I book cleaners for mid-afternoon?

Ask David first. He can estimate the finish from similar moves, but give yourself some margin.

Does the foreman check with me before leaving?

Yes. The team walks through with you before departing so you can confirm everything is in place.

The longer answer

Yes, until the last item is placed

Yes. Once our team starts your move, they stay until the last item is placed and you have walked through the home with the foreman. The clock keeps running by the hour, so the only thing a longer day changes is the total.

Why there is no cut-off

A booked job is finished before the crew moves on, however long it runs. Nobody calls it a day with half your furniture still in the old living room. It is also why we never promise afternoon start times: they depend on how long the morning job takes.

Before anyone leaves, the foreman does a final inspection with you. That is the moment to check that beds are assembled, furniture sits where you want it, and nothing remains in the truck.

Rough time ranges David uses

HomeTypical time
Studio3-4 hours
One bedroom3-5 hours
About 1,200 sq ft5-6 hours including double drive time
4 bedrooms, about 2,200 sq ft7-9 hours

Your own day can run shorter or longer depending on how much you own, how well it is packed, the drive and the access at each address. See local moving for how the hourly model works.

If you have something else booked that day

  • Tell us about cleaners, a landlord walkthrough or a key handoff when you book.
  • Share the size of the home so David can estimate from comparable moves.
  • Leave a buffer; schedule the cleaners for after the estimated finish, not at it.
  • If the move must end by a set hour, ask whether a bigger team would help finish sooner.
  • Have boxes sealed before the crew arrives to keep the day on track. The checklist covers the rest.
