The studio

A small house, moving small numbers of houses well.

Bellereaux runs out of a small studio off Charlotte Street, in London. Five people. A handful of long-tenure crew. A workshop in Essex where the export-grade crating gets built when a piece needs it.

We do not run a national fleet and we do not move people every weekend. We take on the moves we can do well — usually fewer than fifty a year — and we put the same partner on the job from the first conversation to the last delivery. Continuity costs more on the spreadsheet and saves more in the actual move.

We chose Denmark, Norway, and Finland on purpose. They share a road grammar (Eurotunnel to Calais, then a long northbound run, often via a Kiel ferry); they share a paperwork rhythm post-Brexit; and the people moving there share a quietness about the move itself. The work suits us.

We do not do same-day quotes. We do not do hourly rates. We do not pretend a four-bedroom move into a Bergen hillside is the same shape of job as a flat-pack run to Birmingham. If the brief is wrong for us, we will say so. There are excellent firms for everything else, and we will name them.

The way we work

Six rules that we have not changed since we started.

  1. No. 01

    A home visit, where it matters.

    If the move is large or the inventory is delicate, we come and see it. A quote written from a phone call is a quote written from guesses.

  2. No. 02

    Fixed prices, written down.

    A single number that includes the move, the customs, the insurance, and an agreed window of storage at either end.

  3. No. 03

    One partner, start to finish.

    The person who quotes the move sees it through. They are reachable on the day, not via a call centre.

  4. No. 04

    Long-tenure crew.

    The same hands carry your things across each leg. We do not subcontract on the road.

  5. No. 05

    Insurance to £100,000.

    Goods-in-transit cover across the whole journey, including storage. Higher cover arranged on request.

  6. No. 06

    A delivery that finishes properly.

    Rooms set up, beds made if asked, the kitchen functional before we leave. Boxes broken down and taken away.

If any of that resonates, we should talk.
