Elevate Your Move with Our Furniture Hoist Service in South West London

Got a sofa that won’t turn the corner? Or a wardrobe that laughs at stairwells? Maybe you live in a flat on the 5th floor? Don’t stress! Our professional furniture hoist service lifts bulky or heavy items directly through a window or balcony—up to 30 metres high. This means your move is faster, safer, and far less hassle.

Why Use a Furniture Hoist?

A furniture hoist, also known as a furniture lift, is a mobile, motorised platform that runs on a telescopic track. We set it up at ground level and extend it to the required floor, providing direct external access. This way, we bypass tight corridors, narrow staircases, and awkward door frames entirely.

Benefits of Using a Furniture Hoist

Using a furniture hoist offers several advantages:

• Safety First: Fewer bumps, scrapes, and scuffs on both your furniture and your property.

• Much Faster Moves: Big pieces can go from street to room in minutes, not hours.

• Serious Lifting Power: Capable of lifting up to 400 kg to 20 m and 200 kg to 30 m (item-dependent).

• Cost-Efficient: Quicker and cleaner moves often save on overall labour time.

• Stress-Free Experience: Our trained team handles all setup, operation, and protection measures.

• Sofas and sectionals

How It Works: Simple and Efficient

Here’s how our service works:

1. Free Phone Consult & Quick Site Check: We confirm access, heights, and item specifications.

2. Scheduling & Arrival: We secure the hoist position and protect floors and window ledges.

3. Lift & Place: Items are padded, strapped, and lifted to your window or balcony, then placed exactly where you want them.

4. Sign-Off: A quick walk-through ensures you’re 100% happy with the placement.

   
   

Important Considerations for Your Move

To ensure everything goes smoothly on the day of your move, we’ll need:

• Clear External Path: Ensure there’s a clear path from the street to the window or balcony (no branches, cables, or overhangs).

• Space for the Hoist Vehicle: We need roughly two standard parking bays directly outside or as close as possible to your building.

• Window/Balcony Access: We’ll advise on safe opening and protection.

• Local Permissions (if needed): If bay suspension or a parking permit is required, we’ll guide you through the process.

• Weather Check: High winds may affect safe operation; we’ll monitor and advise proactively.

  
  

Good to Know: Exact capacities depend on height, outreach, and item dimensions. We’ll confirm all limits during the site check to avoid surprises.

Safety and Professionalism as Standard

We prioritise safety and professionalism in every move:

• Fully trained operators and a dedicated lift crew

• Risk assessment and method statement (RAMS) available on request

• Protective coverings for entry points and surfaces

• Public liability and goods-in-transit cover
