By Have you just bought a beautiful new sofa from a store? Or maybe you found a vintage wardrobe on Facebook Marketplace or eBay? The next big question is: How do I get it home safely? Most furniture items are heavy, bulky, and easy to scratch. You cannot fit them in a normal car, and renting a van can be a headache. This is why you need a professional furniture delivery service.
At Ecorid, we provide a specialized man and van service dedicated to moving furniture. Whether it is a single armchair or a whole bedroom set, we ensure your items are delivered in perfect condition. In this blog, we will explain why Ecorid is the safest choice for furniture delivery in the UK.
The Challenges of Moving Furniture
Moving furniture is not just about strength; it is about technique and care. Here are common problems people face:
- Scratches and Dents: One wrong move can ruin the wood or tear the fabric of your expensive furniture.
- Narrow Doors and Stairs: Navigating a large sofa through a tight UK hallway is like a puzzle.
- Lack of Transit Safety: If furniture is not tied down inside a van, it will slide and break during the journey.
Ecorid solves all these problems with professional handling and the right equipment.
Why Choose Ecorid for Furniture Delivery?
When you book with Ecorid, you are not just hiring a driver. You are hiring a team that knows how to handle valuable items.
1. Protective Packaging (Transit Blankets & Straps)
We don’t just throw your furniture into a van. Every item we move is treated with respect. We use thick transit blankets to wrap delicate surfaces. We also use heavy-duty ratchet straps to secure the furniture against the walls of the van. This means your items won’t move an inch while we are driving.
2. Expert Lifting and Carrying
Our team is trained in safe lifting techniques. We know how to carry heavy items without damaging our backs or your walls. We use furniture dollies (wheels) for heavy items like wardrobes and washing machines to move them smoothly across flat surfaces.
3. Basic Disassembly and Reassembly
Sometimes, a bed frame or a large dining table simply won’t fit through the door. Don’t worry! Our man and van team carries a basic toolkit. We can help take apart large items and put them back together at your new location. (Please let us know in advance if you need this service!)
4. Store Pickups (IKEA, eBay, Gumtree)
Did you buy something from a store that doesn’t offer same-day delivery? Or did you buy a used item from a private seller? Ecorid is perfect for this. We can go to the store or the seller’s house, collect the item, and bring it straight to your living room.
More Than Just Delivery: The Ecorid Advantage
What makes ecorid.co.uk different from a standard delivery company is our range of services. We can help you with the “Before” and “After” of your delivery.
- Out with the Old (Rubbish Removal): If you are getting a new sofa delivered, what happens to the old, broken one? Ecorid is a licensed waste carrier. We can take your old furniture away for recycling at the same time we deliver the new one!
- Clean the Space (House Cleaning): Before we place your new furniture, you might want the room cleaned. Our house cleaning service can ensure your floors and corners are spotless before the new items arrive.
Tips for a Smooth Furniture Delivery
To help our Ecorid team give you the best service, here are a few things you can do:
- Measure Everything: Check the width of your doors, hallways, and elevators. Make sure the furniture can actually fit!
- Clear the Path: Remove rugs, shoes, or small tables from the hallway so our team has a clear path to walk.
- Protect the Floors: If you have expensive wooden floors, you can lay down some cardboard or protectors.
- Check the Item: If you are buying a used item from eBay, ask the seller if it can be dismantled. This makes the delivery faster and cheaper.
Affordable Pricing for Small and Large Items
At Ecorid, we believe you shouldn’t pay a fortune to move one or two items. We offer flexible pricing with a two-hour minimum charge. This is much more affordable than hiring a large removal company. We serve London, Surrey, Bristol, Berkshire, and all surrounding counties. Whether you are moving furniture across the street or to the next city, we give you a fair quote.
How to Book Your Furniture Delivery
Booking with Ecorid is fast and modern:
- Send a Message: Use WhatsApp or our website to tell us what you need to move.
- Share Photos: Send us a photo of the item and let us know if there are stairs involved.
- Get a Quote: We will provide a clear price with no hidden fees.
- Delivery Day: Our branded van arrives, our friendly team loads the item, and we deliver it safely to your door.
