Man and Van in Ely

Being able to stop the van outside the door sounds minor and is not. It cuts the carry to a few steps, it means a wardrobe does not have to be walked the length of a street, and it usually takes an hour off the job compared with the same load out of a Cathays terrace. Where a street is tighter or a corner plot is awkward, we will say so when we quote.

Ely moves tend to be whole households rather than a room: beds, wardrobes, a shed's worth of garden things and a washing machine that has not moved in nine years. We bring straps, blankets and enough hands for the heavy end, and we take appliances off and refit them at the other address where the plumbing allows.

If a garage or a loft needs emptying as part of the move, tell us when you ask and we will build the time into the price rather than finding it on the day.

Ely sits well for the A4232 and Culverhouse Cross, so moves out towards Barry, the Vale and the M4 run quickly from here. Local hops across to Canton, Fairwater or Llandaff are short enough that we can often fit two in a day, which keeps the price down for both.
