Out-of-hours moves and short-term storage

Not everyone can move between 9 and 5. Whether you’re working shifts, juggling kids or waiting on keys, Your Move Mate offers out-of-hours removals and short-term storage in the van to give you more flexibility.

Evening and weekend moves

We can often help with:

  • Evening and late-night moves

  • Early morning collections

  • Weekend removals and deliveries

  • Last-minute bookings where our schedule allows

You get the same friendly, reliable service – just at a time that works better for you.

Who this service is ideal for

  • People with back-to-back moves and awkward key handover times

  • Tenants whose tenancy ends before their new one starts

  • Busy professionals and families who only have evenings or weekends free

  • Anyone who wants the move done outside normal working hours

Short-term storage in our van

Sometimes you have to be out of your old place before you can get into the new one. When that happens, we can:

  • Load your furniture and boxes on day one

  • Keep everything securely in our van overnight at a private parking location

  • Deliver and unload at your new address the following day (or as agreed)

It’s a simple, cost-effective alternative to booking a full storage unit for a short gap

  • No, our aim is to be as flexible as possible. If we’ve agreed an evening or weekend slot with you, the price is based on the job itself, not just the time of day.

  • We’re usually available between 8am and 8pm, and sometimes outside those hours by arrangement. If you have specific timing needs (e.g. after your shift finishes), let us know and we’ll see what we can do.

  • If your move can’t be completed in one day, we can load your belongings and keep them in our van overnight at a private parking location. The next day, we deliver and unload at your new address at the agreed time.

  • Your items are covered while we’re transporting them and while they’re in our care, subject to our usual insurance limits and exclusions. We still ask you not to include things like jewellery or very high-value personal items, it’s safer to carry those yourself.

  • Things do change, especially with chains. If your timing shifts, contact us as soon as you can. We’ll do our best to adjust the plan – sometimes that means using overnight van storage or rescheduling part of the job.

  • Connie, Worthing

    We needed an evening move because of work and school runs. Your Move Mate offered a flexible schedule and did the whole removal after 6pm. Everything was loaded, transported and unloaded quickly, and the team stayed cheerful even though it was late.

  • David, Hove

    Our key handover got delayed and they saved us with short-term storage in the van overnight. They loaded everything one day, kept it secure, and finished the delivery the next morning as soon as we had access. Great problem-solving and very reliable.

  • Spenser, Brighton

    Fantastic out-of-hours man and van service. I work shifts and they managed the logistics around my odd hours with no fuss. Really appreciated how flexible they were with timing and how carefully they handled my items
