"We got the team from Stickfem Logistics to help us with our house move and honestly couldn't have asked for anyone better. They arrived promptly, were so friendly and took really good care of all our things. They made the whole 4-hour move feel so much easier and stress-free, which we really appreciated. Would 100% recommend Stickfem Logistics!!"
"Would highly recommend Stickfem Logistics and the team, they were able to help me out with a last minute long distance move to Bristol 3 days prior due to being let down by someone else. Really good pricing and made accommodations with timings of arrival. 10/10!"

Questions people ask
Are you insured?
Yes. Goods in transit and public liability insurance. Your things are covered from the moment they go in the van to the moment they come out.
What will you move?
Whole houses and single items. Sofas, beds, wardrobes, pianos, white goods, antiques, artwork, boxes. Office moves. Collections from eBay, Facebook Marketplace and auction houses. If it fits in a Luton van with a tail lift, ask.
The difference between man and van and house removals?
How much is moving, and who does the lifting. Man and van is one man and the van for a van load or less, a room or two, and you help load. It is booked to suit you and starts from £30. House and office removals is the whole house, flat or office on a booked date, two men, and we do the lifting. That starts from £80. A sofa across Penrith is man and van. A three-bed house from Penrith to Carlisle is a removal.

Is a courier job the same as a removal?
No. A courier job is one item, up to a pallet, going point to point, usually today, urgent or a long way off. One man, and it is priced by the loaded mile: £2.00 a mile or £40, whichever is greater. A removal is a whole house, flat or office on a booked date with two men, from £80, and it is priced as a job whatever the distance. Per-mile pricing is for courier work only, so a flat moved 300 miles is a removal quoted as a job, not £2.00 a mile. Not sure which yours is? Ring our team and we will tell you.
How does pricing work?
Three services, three prices, each on its own. Man and van is from £30: one man, you help load, a van load or less. House and office removals are from £80: two men, we do the lifting, a whole house, flat or office, on a booked date, priced as a job whatever the distance. Courier and same-day is £2.00 a loaded mile or £40, whichever is greater, never both: a 10-mile run is £40, a 100-mile run is £200. Prices are starting points. Tolls and congestion charges are added to the invoice. Waiting at collection or delivery is free for the first 30 minutes, then £25 an hour for one man or £35 an hour for two. Stickfem Logistics is not VAT registered. Ring us and we confirm the price on the phone.
What if you have to wait at collection or delivery?
The first 30 minutes at collection and at delivery is free. After that it is £25 an hour for one man, or £35 an hour for two.
How much does it cost to send a sofa across the UK?
That is a courier job: £2.00 per loaded mile from the collection postcode to the delivery postcode, or £40, whichever is greater. Use the estimator on this page for your own postcodes.
Do you offer business accounts?
Yes. Invoice accounts with payment terms up to 30 days for established businesses, subject to status and credit checks.
How far will you go?
Anywhere in the UK, whether it's Cumbria to London, Scotland, Bristol or Leeds. Penrith and the rest of Cumbria every week, and recent jobs have gone from Cumbria to Bristol and Leeds. Same van, door to door.
How is our courier service different from a parcel courier?
A parcel courier's network moves your item from van to depot to hub to depot to van, handled by several people and packed by you. With Stickfem it goes into the van at your door and comes out at the receiver's door. Same van, same person, no depot. That is why it suits antiques, furniture, fragile and high-value items, artwork, and anything from a single item to a pallet.
How is our direct courier service different from a parcel courier?
A parcel courier's network moves your item from van to depot to hub to depot to van, handled by several people and packed by you. With our direct courier service it goes into the van at your door and comes out at the receiver's door. Same van, same person, no depot. That is why it suits antiques, furniture, fragile and high-value items, artwork, and anything from a single item to a pallet.
