How much does sofa hoisting cost in London?

Sofa hoisting in London starts from £150 with Alpha Movers. Larger corner sofas and complex balcony or window access are quoted after checking furniture size, floor level and access.

Can you hoist a sofa over a balcony in London?

Yes. Balcony hoisting is one of our most frequently requested services, particularly in new-build apartments in East London, the Docklands, and South London. We assess the balcony via photos before confirming.

How do you hoist furniture through a window?

We use heavy-duty load-rated hoisting straps secured to the furniture. The window sill and frame are fully padded before any lifting begins. One operative outside controls the vertical lift while a second operative inside guides the furniture through the opening.

Is furniture hoisting safe for my property?

Yes — when done by trained professionals with proper equipment. We use thick moving blankets and foam padding on every contact point before lifting. Every job includes £10,000 Goods in Transit insurance and Public Liability cover.

How long does sofa hoisting take?

A standard single sofa hoist typically takes 45 minutes to 1.5 hours including setup, protection, lifting, and placement. L-shaped sofas and larger items usually take 1.5 to 2.5 hours.
