If you have just finished a move, you already know the odd little mountain that appears at the end: a broken wardrobe, an old mattress, packaging that seems to breed overnight, and a few heavy items you no longer want to drag into the new place.

If you are staring at a half-packed flat, a moving date that has suddenly moved forward, or a landlord asking for the keys back sooner than expected, you are not alone.

If you are planning a move from Norbiton to Canbury Gardens, you probably want the same thing every homeowner wants: a calm move, no broken bits, and a van that turns up on time.
