House removals
Whole households, surveyed and quoted in writing.
Survey, pack, load, deliver, rebuild. Priced on volume, access, packing depth and distance. The job the rest of this list hangs off.

Removals services,
county-wide
Eight things, described plainly. Where something has a page of its own there is a link; where it has not, it is because it is always quoted as part of a larger move rather than sold separately.
Man and van
A room, a student move, one heavy thing.
Two people and a smaller vehicle, booked by the job. Good up to about a full one-bed; past that a proper removal is quicker and costs less.
Read more →Business & office removals
Offices, studios, shops and small units.
Sequenced around your trading hours rather than ours. Crates in advance, IT moved and labelled, archive kept in order. Usually out of hours.
Read more →Packing & careful handling
All of it, part of it, or just the breakables.
Cell partitions for glass, purpose-made cartons for framed work, lampshades and mirrors. Beds and wardrobes taken apart and rebuilt. Materials go back with us afterwards.
Storage
Wrapped, inventoried, racked indoors.
For the gap between completions, a fit-out running late, or the wait for an overseas vehicle. Collected as part of the move rather than as a separate errand.
Long-distance removals
Out of the county and up the country.
London and the Home Counties, the Midlands, the North, the West. Planned around the M25 and the A12 north with a realistic first leg rather than treated as a local job with a drive on the end.
European removals
Removals from Essex to France, Spain, Italy and Portugal.
Dedicated vehicles or shared space, export wrapping, and the customs documentation the destination country needs. Packed here by the same crews.
Read more →Rural and village property
Farmhouses, barn conversions, cottages down lanes.
Common in the north of the county and out towards the Dengie. The outbuildings usually hold more than the house, and the lane usually decides the vehicle. Always surveyed before quoting.
How a quote is built
Four things: the volume going, the access at both ends, how much packing you want done, and how far it travels. In a county this size the last one is real money, so we state it rather than bury it.
That also makes quotes comparable. If you are weighing us against another firm, check both have measured the same volume and assume the same packing — most of the difference between two numbers lives there.
Not sure which you need? Describe the move on the quote form and we will tell you. Questions covers what usually comes up next, and areas we cover sets out where we work.
