SPECIALIST MOVES
What are specialists moves
Man with Van Network carries out specialist moves in Inverness, with coverage available across the Highlands and across Scotland. This service is intended for items that are too large, heavy or awkward for standard removals, such as pianos, snooker tables, oversized sofas and other bulky furniture that require planning before being moved. Each job begins with an assessment of the item and the space it needs to pass through, taking into account size, weight, access, stairs, doorways and any site-specific restrictions.
Based in Inverness, we handle specialist item moves across Scotland, including work in older buildings, shared access areas and properties with tight staircases or narrow doorways. Once the approach is agreed, items are prepared and moved using appropriate handling methods, with care taken to protect both the item and the surrounding property. Specialist moves are the right option when a job requires thought rather than speed, allowing difficult items to be moved sensibly and without unnecessary risk.
Typical Specialist jobs include:
🎹 Pianos
🎱 Snooker and pool tables
🛋️ Oversized or awkward sofas
🪑 Large solid furniture and cabinets
📦 Heavy or unusually shaped items
🏠 Items with restricted access or tight staircases
Specialist moves are usually defined by access and handling rather than distance. Some items are heavy but straightforward, while others are awkwardly shaped or need careful positioning to move through doorways, staircases or shared spaces.
These jobs often require slowing things down and planning the route before anything is moved. By assessing the item and the space first, the move can be carried out sensibly, reducing the risk of damage to both the item and the property.
If an item looks manageable at first glance but becomes complicated once access is considered, it’s usually best handled as a specialist move.
