Drain-down & disconnect
Add-on service so the Andover job runs to time on the day, with the spa empty and isolated when we arrive.
Hot tubs are heavy, awkward and unforgiving of mistakes. Andover homeowners book us because we treat every move like a furniture removal and an engineering job at once — measured, padded, strapped and lifted by people who do nothing else. The kit on the van suits mixed access — period terraces, new-build estates and rural lanes; the crew has done the same kind of move on the same kind of street, many times before.
If a deck needs taking apart to get the spa out, that is part of the job — not an excuse to walk away. Boards come off cleanly, get numbered, and go back on once the spa is clear. Andover customers expect the garden to look the same when we leave. That is the standard we work to.
Tell us the move — we reply by return.

FAQ · Andover
The questions we hear most often from Andover customers — access, parking, permits, weather, electrics, listed properties and pricing. If yours is not covered, drop it on the quote form and we will come back the same day.
Not when it is planned properly. We use lawn protection boards, lift the spa rather than drag it, and remove and refit deck sections cleanly where the route demands it. The garden looks the same when we leave.
Yes. We carry full liability and goods-in-transit cover for the spa, the property and the route. Certificates available on request before booking.
Andover has plenty of uk town properties with listed walls, cobbled access or planning sensitivities. We work around them — no chases cut, no fixings into protected stonework, and lifting kit chosen so the building stays untouched.
Two to three weeks is comfortable, especially if a crane or permit is involved. Shorter notice in Andover is usually workable — send the details through and we will tell you honestly what the next available slot is.
We can. A full drain-down and electrical disconnect can be added to the move so the spa is ready to lift the moment we arrive. Mention it on the quote form and we will price it in.
Every Andover move is priced on the access, the distance and the spa itself. Fill in the quote form with the pickup, the drop and a couple of photos of the route, and we will come back with a fixed itemised price.
Sometimes — it depends on doorway widths, stair turns and the shell size. We will measure first, lay full floor and doorway protection, and only carry it through if the route is genuinely safe. In a lot of Andover properties with lawned plots, an over-the-fence or side-return route turns out cleaner.
Yes — swim spas, six-to-eight seaters and oversized shells are part of the workload. They need a bigger crew, sometimes a Hiab and sometimes a road closure, but every part of that gets priced into the single quote for the Andover job.
Tight access is the rule, not the exception, around Andover — particularly with lawned plots. We carry spa skates, narrow dollies and adjustable slings for side returns under a metre wide, and where the route is genuinely impossible we will arrange a crane lift.
Yes. Where the only way in is over the roof or fence, we arrange the crane, the slings, the spreader bar and any road permits needed in Andover. One fixed quote covers the whole lift, not a chain of separate invoices.
