The person behind the van
Meet Dougal. Good Humour. Proper Graft.
Moving day can be a lot. Boxes everywhere, a sofa with its own ideas and a to-do list that keeps finding new things to add. Dougal brings a friendly face and practical help to the jobs that need doing.
Dougal Steward, Hands-On at Move-on Up
Dougal runs Move-on Up in Notting Hill and personally carries out the work. When a booking needs extra hands, he brings in experienced people who do the same kind of jobs.
His work brings together removals, clearance, gardening and practical help around the home. That means you can explain the whole job to one person, including the awkward bits that do not fit neatly into a form.
A narrow staircase? A storage unit you have been meaning to sort? A garden quietly auditioning to become a jungle? Start with a conversation. Dougal can talk through the work, the access and the help needed.
A Friendly Approach to Serious Lifting
You Know Who You’re Booking
Dougal personally does the work. You can discuss the details with someone who will be there to tackle them.
The Awkward Details Matter
Stairs, parking, larger items and a long walk from the van all affect a job. Mention them early so they can be planned for.
Clear Scope, Clearer Expectations
Most work is charged hourly, with fixed quotes sometimes available. Agree the tasks, timing and charges before the visit.
More Than Moving Boxes
The move is sometimes only half the list. There may be unwanted furniture to clear, a flat pack to build or an outdoor space to sort out.
Get Things Moving
From smaller man and van bookings to office moves, with packing help when you need it.
Make Some Room
Explore house clearance, storage unit clearance or help before a tenancy handover.
Finish the To-Do List
Ask about handyman jobs, gardening and garden and shed clearance.
