Flat and studio moves
A manageable move between homes
Moving from a studio or one-bedroom flat often means a mix of boxes, furniture and appliances rather than a full household load.

What can you move with our Small Removals service?
A small move can still include a useful amount of furniture and belongings. The key is giving the online quote a complete picture of the load.
Part-home removals
Selected furniture and boxes
Useful when only part of a home is moving, such as a sofa, bed, drawers, a desk and a practical number of packed boxes.
Extra moving help
Bulky pieces that need two people
Choose the two-person help option in the quote when the load includes furniture that should not be handled by one person.
Moving a full household?
Use House Removals for a multi-room move that needs a custom quote.
Only one large item?
Use the Large Item Courier for a sofa, wardrobe, appliance or marketplace purchase.

How the job is priced
What shapes a small-removals quote?
The online quote uses the details of the actual move, so the price reflects the load, route and help selected.
Your item list
The size, quantity and weight of the furniture, appliances and boxes determine the space and handling required.
The journey
Your collection and delivery postcodes establish the mileage, including small loads moving across the country.
Access
Stairs, lifts, parking restrictions and long carries can change the time and help needed at either address.
Help and timing
The one- or two-person option, collection date and any flexibility all form part of the available quote.
Flats, stairs and parking
Tell the quote what collection will really involve
Good access details help the booking account for the work at both ends of the move.
- State the floor at each address and whether there is a usable lift.
- Flag narrow staircases, doorways or corridors around bulky furniture.
- Explain where the vehicle can stop and whether there is a long carry.
- Add every heavy or fragile item and upload a useful photo when needed.
- Choose two-person help when the load cannot be handled safely by one person.

Small-removals questions
Still deciding between services? The Removal Services hub explains where House Removals, Student Removals and Man with a Van fit.
What counts as a small removal?
A small removal is a move with more than a single delivery item but less than a full household load. It can include the contents of a studio or one-bedroom flat, selected furniture, appliances and boxes, or belongings moving into or out of storage.
Can I use this service for a flat move?
Yes. Flat removals are a core use for this service. Add the full inventory and include the floor, lift access, parking and any long carry from the property to the vehicle.
How do I get a small-removals quote?
Enter the collection and delivery locations, then add each piece of furniture, appliance and box to the online quote. Include access details, choose the help and collection option, and review the fixed price before booking.
Can I choose one- or two-person help?
Yes. The online quote includes one-person and two-person help options. Choose the option that reflects the size and weight of the load and whether anyone can safely assist at the addresses.
What affects the price of a small move?
The price is based on the route, the items being moved, their size and weight, access at both addresses, the help selected and the collection date or flexibility.
Can Porta move a small load across the country?
Yes. Small removals can be booked between UK collection and delivery addresses, including long-distance moves. Enter both locations and the complete inventory so the journey and vehicle space can be priced together.
What if I am only moving one large item?
For one sofa, wardrobe, appliance or marketplace purchase, Porta’s Large Item Courier service is usually the clearer quote route. Small Removals is intended for a manageable group of belongings.
Is Porta the company carrying my belongings?
Porta is a booking platform rather than the carrier or employer of the driver. It connects customers with vetted independent drivers for suitable removal and delivery jobs.
