What to know about Large item delivery
Large-item delivery is the job of getting one big, heavy, awkward thing from where it is to where you want it: an American fridge-freezer, a range cooker, a washing machine, a mattress, a hot tub in a crate, a treadmill, a wardrobe that arrives in three boxes and weighs more than any of them suggest. It is a two-person job by default, it is priced on access rather than distance, and it lives or dies on measurements taken before anything is ordered.

Prices depend on the details of your project. We only publish price ranges when they’re backed by real LokalMatch quote data or reliable sources. Until then, here’s what usually changes the price:
- Amount of furniture and boxes
- Distance between the two homes
- Stairs, elevators and parking at each end
- Packing and unpacking services
- Heavy or specialty items, such as pianos
- Date and time of year
- Storage between moves
How to choose delivery companies in Exeter
- Ask for a written estimate based on an in-person or video walkthrough, not only a phone call.
- Find out whether the price is fixed or based on actual time, weight or volume.
- Ask what coverage is included if something is lost or damaged, and what extra coverage costs.
- Be cautious of movers who ask for a large deposit up front or won't give you a written contract.
- For condos and apartments, check that the mover can work within your building's elevator booking and loading rules.
Questions to ask delivery companies before you hire
- Is your estimate a fixed price, or will it change based on actual time or weight?
- What coverage is included if something is damaged or lost?
- Are there extra charges for stairs, long carries, heavy items or waiting time?
- Will your own employees do the move, or will you use subcontractors?
- How much deposit do you need, and when is the balance due?
- What is your policy if the move is delayed or I need to reschedule?
Large item delivery permits in England
Some large item delivery work needs a permit or has to meet local bylaws. Rules vary by municipality, so ask your pro whether a permit is needed and who will apply for it — and check with your city or town if you’re unsure.

Local Moving guide
A local removal in Britain is usually a single day's work: one crew, one or two loads, and a new address close enough that the van can shuttle if it has to. What makes it awkward is rarely the distance.

Long-Distance Moving guide
Long distance has no legal meaning in the British removals trade. There is no interstate line to cross, no federal registration to check and no distance at which a different set of rules switches on.

Common large item delivery questions
Is LokalMatch free for homeowners?
Yes. You never pay LokalMatch to request quotes or talk to pros. Professionals pay a fee to connect with homeowners whose projects fit their business.
How many pros will contact me?
We introduce you to a small number of relevant pros — usually no more than three — so you’re not flooded with calls. If fewer pros are available in your area, we’ll tell you instead of promising quotes we can’t deliver.
Do I have to hire someone?
No. Requesting quotes doesn’t commit you to anything. Compare your options and hire only if someone is the right fit.
