Questions & answers
The things people ask us most, answered straight. If yours isn’t here, just ask — we’re happy to talk it through.
Which parts of Cornwall do you cover?
All of it, coast to coast — Truro, Newquay, Falmouth, Penzance, St Ives, St Austell, Bodmin, Camborne and Redruth, Bude and the villages between. Cornwall is a long county, so we plan the distance into every job. For moves abroad we collect from anywhere in the county.
How do I get a quote, and will you give me a figure over the phone?
Fill in the quote form with the basics, or give us a ring. We don’t reel off a number before we understand the job — that’s how estimates end up changing on the day. We take your details, talk through anything unusual, and give you a proper quote in writing.
Do you handle second homes and holiday-let moves?
Yes — it’s a big part of moving in Cornwall. Furnishing a second home, changing over a holiday let, or clearing one for sale all have their own rhythm, and we work around key handovers, changeover days and letting-agent access. Tell us what’s involved and we’ll plan around it.
Can you handle narrow lanes, cliff-top cottages and tricky coastal access?
That’s much of what we do here. Cornwall is full of single-track lanes, cottages with no room for a big lorry, and coastal streets that test any driver. We assess access when we quote, bring the right vehicle, and plan a shuttle where a full-size van can’t reach the door.
Do you pack, or do I sort that myself?
Whatever suits you. We’ll pack the whole house, or just the fragile and awkward items while you box the everyday things. Tell us which and we’ll price the move accordingly.
Do you offer storage if there’s a gap between homes?
Yes. If your dates don’t line up — common in a chain, or when a coastal completion slips — we can store your things securely and complete the move when you’re ready. It’s also useful for holding a part-load before a move abroad.
Are you insured?
Yes. We carry goods-in-transit and public liability cover, and we’ll confirm the details in writing with your quote. If you’re moving anything of unusual value, tell us so it’s properly accounted for.
Do you move abroad as well as around Cornwall?
We do. Alongside moves across the county we run a European arm — France, Spain, Portugal and Cyprus each have their own page. We handle the packing, the customs paperwork and delivery to the door at the far end.

A few details is all we need to start. We read every enquiry ourselves and work out a proper quote once we understand the job — no automated figures, no pressure.
