Surveyed first · crated properly · run to a schedule
Every Linen Flint job starts with a walk-through so the crew arrives knowing the stairs, the doorways and the one cabinet that must not be tipped. You get a written inventory, a time window and the same lead hand from first carry to final sign-off.
01 Service lanes
Each lane has its own crew shape, vehicle and material list. Pick the one that matches your job — it keeps the quote honest and stops us sending three people where five are needed.
01
Two to five bedrooms, single or split delivery. Beds, wardrobes and table legs are dismantled, bagged and rebuilt in the right rooms, with floor runners down before the first box lands.
02
Fourth-floor flats, spiral stairs, narrow landings and lifts too small for a sofa. We survey the turn radius first and plan hoist-free routes, extra hands or a shuttle van instead of guessing on the day.
03
Evening and weekend windows so your Monday opens as normal. Desks are numbered to a floor plan, cables coiled and tagged per workstation, and server or studio gear handled in its own crates.
04
You keep the van, we do the fragile work. A pack-only crew wraps kitchens, glassware, art and books to the same standard we use on full moves, then leaves you a numbered inventory sheet.
05
For gaps between completion dates. Goods are inventoried into palletised units, photographed on load, and redelivered on a booked slot — part loads welcome if only the furniture needs to wait.
06
Uprights and small grands, safes, stone tops, treadmills, aquariums and oversized canvases. These are quoted separately after survey because the lift plan, not the weight, sets the price.
02 Move day
Times shift with volume and travel, but the order never does. This is the schedule we work to on a typical three-bedroom local move with one delivery address.
07:45Arrive
Lead hand confirms the inventory with you, agrees which items travel last, and sets floor runners, door guards and banister padding before anything is lifted.
08:15Wrap
Soft furniture goes into fitted covers, hard edges into corrugated wrap. Beds and flat-pack units come apart, with fixings bagged and taped to the frame they belong to.
09:30Load
Heavy base, tiered mid, fragile crates last and strapped at every tier. Items needed first at the new place load nearest the door so they come off first.
13:00Deliver
Boxes land in the room named on the label, not in a hallway pile. Furniture is rebuilt, levelled and positioned once — tell us where it goes before we set it down.
16:30Finish
We walk the inventory with you, reconnect what we disconnected, flatten and remove our wrap and cartons, and note anything you want revisited before the crew stands down.
A move is won the night before. If the survey is right, move day is just carrying. Field note — crew handbook
03 Crates & materials
Use this index when you are packing ahead of us. Matching the box to the contents is the single biggest thing you can do to keep breakages at zero — and it speeds up loading.
Half-filled cartons crush and over-filled ones split. Fill to the top, then adjust the weight with books or linen. Packing standard
| Container | Size | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| Book carton | 45 × 32 × 32 cm | Books, records, tinned goods, tools. Small on purpose — weight limit before the base gives. |
| Standard carton | 50 × 40 × 40 cm | Kitchen cupboards, toys, bathroom contents, cables. The default for most rooms. |
| Linen carton | 60 × 50 × 45 cm | Bedding, towels, cushions, coats. Bulk without weight, also used to pad other loads. |
| Glass crate | 48 × 34 × 34 cm | Stemware, china, vases. Supplied with cell dividers and paper, packed by us. |
| Wardrobe box | 50 × 50 × 110 cm | Hanging clothes straight off the rail onto the built-in bar. Nothing needs folding. |
| Picture case | Adjustable to 160 cm | Framed art, mirrors, flat screens. Corner blocks and a rigid face, carried upright. |
| Timber crate | Built to item | Sculpture, stone, lab and studio equipment. Made after survey, charged as a material. |
04 Pricing
Volume is only part of it. These five factors move a quote more than anything else, so it is worth knowing them before you compare estimates — ours or anyone's.
Stairs cost time on every single item. A working lift large enough for a mattress usually offsets several floors; a lift you must book in hour-long slots can cost more than stairs.
The walk between door and tailgate is measured at both ends. Anything past roughly twenty metres, or through a shared courtyard or gate, changes the crew size we quote.
Two people in a one-bed flat with a workshop can out-volume a sparse three-bed house. We quote on cubic metres from the survey, which is why the walk-through matters.
Fitted wardrobes, bunk beds, large flat-pack units and wall-mounted screens all add labour at both ends. Tell us what you want rebuilt and what can stay in parts.
Month-end Fridays, Saturdays and bank-holiday weekends carry peak rates. A mid-week, mid-month morning is the cheapest slot we offer, and the easiest to keep on schedule.
For studios and offices, send a floor plan with the enquiry. Workstation counts and a plan drawing get you an accurate figure without a site visit in most cases.

Six fields is enough to price most moves. Send it over and we will come back with a survey time and an indicative figure.
