They arrived on time and didn't waste a single minute — just got straight to work! Both were incredibly polite, friendly and sweet. They carried all the heavy boxes carefully up the stairs and placed everything exactly where I asked — no fuss, no hassle at all. Efficient, careful, and did an amazing job. I'm so happy! I would 100% recommend them to everyone — if you need work done, book them! You won't be disappointed! 🙌

Turn a heavy mattress over and reinstate 2 wardrobe sliding doors.

£100

Broad Green, Greater London

16th Sep 2026

Hi! We're looking for two strong, capable people to help with a quick manual handling job. The main task is flipping and turning a Super King mattress on its base. The mattress is a heavy-duty weighing 70 kgs. It's very rigid and heavy, so it absolutely requires a two-person lift. We'd also need you to refit two small/medium sliding doors of a wardrobe that have come off their tracks. Both jobs would probably take you no more than 30 minutes. I have back problems and unable to assist with any of the lifting, so you'll need to handle both the mattress turning and the door refitting entirely between the two of you. Please let me know if you may be available anytime tomorrow (Thursday 17.09.26) and how much would you charge for the jobs described for both workers. Thanking you in advance!

Very helpful, reliable, and fast. Will use Tom again.

Elm Park, Greater London

I need two careful and reliable people to help reposition heavy furniture and equipment within my ground-floor garage studio in Hornchurch, RM12. Nothing is being transported to another address and there is no rubbish or disposal required. The work includes: • Carefully lifting several 3D printers off their benches/shelving and placing them somewhere safe temporarily • Turning one heavy 180 × 60 cm workbench by 90 degrees • Repositioning two 120 × 45 cm garage shelving units • Moving two smaller 90 × 45 cm shelving units • Moving a Kallax unit against another wall • Returning the printers to their planned positions once the furniture has been moved The printers are valuable and must remain upright and be handled carefully. Some are large and heavy, so this is a two-person job. I will disconnect them before you arrive. No van is required. No rubbish removal, clearing or major shelving assembly is required. The room is on the ground floor and all items remain within the same room. Please confirm: • That your offer includes two people • Your estimated completion time • That you have experience moving heavy furniture and fragile equipment • Whether your offer includes all Airtasker fees.

Highly recommend these guys. Excellent communication prior to the day and I got a message on the day to confirm that they were on their way. They arrived on time and were very polite and helpful. The finished the job quickly and helped me with an extra task of putting a few items into the loft.
