Sora Dapple is a two-to-six person moving crew. Every job starts with a free walkthrough, so the crew size, the truck, the arrival window and the materials are agreed in writing before anyone lifts a box.
Each lane has a fixed crew shape so you can picture the day before you enquire. If your move sits between two of them, the walkthrough decides which one it is.
Crew of two · 18ft truck · typically 3–5 hours
One load, one trip, lift or stairs confirmed in advance. Best for single people and couples who have packed their own boxes.
Crew of four · 26ft truck · one or two loads
Family homes with a loft, a garage and a garden shed. We work room by room against a numbered plan rather than clearing whatever is nearest the door.
Evening crew · 26ft truck · numbered crate hire
Out-of-hours so your Monday opens normally. Crates are delivered two days ahead and collected the week after the move.
Crew of two · pallet wrap · paper inventory
For the gap between completion dates. We load into your unit, photograph the stack and hand you the inventory sheet on the way out.
Most moving-day problems are planning problems. This is the order we work in and what you receive at each stage.
Twenty minutes, room by room. We count the boxes you already have, measure the pieces that will argue with a doorway, check the lift dimensions and look at where a truck can legally stand at both ends.
You get a one-page plan: crew size, truck size, arrival window, hours estimate, the materials list and the named awkward items. Nothing on the day comes as a surprise, and nothing is added without asking you first.
Runners and door guards go down before the first box leaves. Each box carries a card naming the room it belongs in at the new place. Fragile crates load last so they come off first and stay out of the stacking.
Beds rebuilt, wardrobes upright, white goods sited and levelled. Boxes land in the room named on the card rather than in one pile in the hall. We walk the old place with you, then take the empty crates and wrap away.
Seven things move the number, and you can see all of them before you agree. Anything not on this list is not on your invoice.
No weekend surcharge. No fuel line. No charge for the walkthrough, booked or not.
You do not have to pack at all — but if you are packing, these six habits save the most time on the day.
Tell us where you are going and roughly when. We reply with a survey time, not a guessed price.
Someone who can make decisions should be at both ends — usually you, sometimes a friend or an agent. The crew will ask where things go and whether borderline items are coming. If you cannot be present, leave a marked plan and a reachable contact, and we will work to it.
It is the most common delay in the trade and we plan for it. The loaded truck waits at the standby rate rather than the full crew rate, and the crew takes its break during the wait so no working time is lost once the keys land.
Goods in transit cover is included for every booked move and the limit is printed on your written plan. Items you packed yourself are covered for transit damage but not for breakage inside a sealed box we did not pack — which is why part-packing exists.
Yes, and it is the most popular option. Most people pack the wardrobes and the bookshelves, then hand over the kitchen, the glassware and the loft. Tell us which rooms at the walkthrough and the part-pack is scheduled for the afternoon before.
We check this during the walkthrough and tell you honestly if a permit, a suspended bay or a shuttle van is needed. A long carry changes the hours, so it belongs in the plan rather than appearing as a surprise line afterwards.
Yes. We load your unit, photograph the stack and hand over a written inventory, then bring it back when the new place is ready. The return trip is booked at the same crew rate as the outbound load, agreed when you first book.
