Where we actually work
The whole of Britain and fifteen countries by road, described in the terms that change a quote rather than as a list of towns.
No branch network implied. Vehicles that travel and crews who stay with the load, which is the part that actually matters on distance.
Six operating regions, and a corridor
Not drawn the way anybody else would draw them, but by what a removals vehicle meets: permit density, motorway access, the length of the last mile, and whether the day fits inside legal driving hours.
The south-east, and the arranging
London and the counties around it are the permit-heavy end of the country. Controlled parking in most of the places people actually live, buildings with move-day rules, and managing agents who want notice.
At every instruction level the arranging is a larger share of the job here than the lifting. Suspensions and building bookings are made in advance, and the survey exists partly to establish which are needed.
The Midlands, and the junction
Where most long-distance work crosses, whatever direction it is travelling. Good motorway access almost throughout, with the usual rural tails at either end — and the tails are what get surveyed, because the motorway running is the easy part.
The north, and the variation inside a postcode
Manchester, Leeds, Liverpool, Sheffield and Newcastle put dense Victorian terracing and generous suburbs within a short distance of each other. Access varies more within a single northern postcode than it does across whole counties elsewhere, which is why we ask about the street rather than the town.
Long tails, and the continent
Scotland, the south-west and Wales are the jobs where driving hours and the overnight arrangement are planned first and everything else fits around them. Europe is the same discipline with a customs file added: fifteen countries by road, one vehicle throughout, and nothing transferred on the way.
Coverage
Questions about where we go
- Do you really cover the whole country?
- For moves of reasonable size, yes — England, Scotland and Wales. For a single-room job in a town where we have no vehicle nearby, a local firm will beat us on price and we will tell you so rather than quoting badly.
- Do you have depots everywhere?
- No, and we would rather say that than imply otherwise. What we have is vehicles that travel and crews who stay with the load. Storage is arranged where it is needed and always inventoried.
- Northern Ireland, the islands, the Isle of Man?
- Ask. A ferry leg changes the planning and sometimes the honest answer is a specialist rather than us. We will tell you which before quoting, not after.
- How far into Europe do you go by road?
- Fifteen countries across western and central Europe. Beyond that it becomes sea or air freight, which is a different trade and one we refer rather than subcontract.
