Good to know
Questions, answered
The things Crewe movers ask us most — coverage, storage, timing, and how our international moves work. If yours isn't here, just ask.
Removals & the basics
Moving with us
Do you only cover Crewe, or the wider Cheshire area too?
Crewe is our base, but the van goes wherever the job is. We cover the whole CW area — Nantwich, Sandbach, Alsager, Haslington, Wistaston, Middlewich, Winsford and the villages in between — plus moves out of Crewe to anywhere in the UK and across to Europe.
Can you help with storage as well as the move?
Yes. A lot of Crewe moves do not line up cleanly — completion dates slip, or the new place is not ready. We keep secure containerised storage so your things can sit safely between the two ends of the move, short term or long term, and go out on the van when you are ready.
I only need a couple of items shifted — is that worth your time?
It is. Our man-and-van service is built for exactly that: a single wardrobe, a sofa, a part-load, or a student flat clear-out. You get the same crew and the same care as a full house move, scaled to the load.
How quickly can you come out?
Tell us your rough dates and we will get back to you promptly with availability. We keep some capacity for short-notice and last-minute jobs, so it is always worth asking even if the move is close.
Do you move to France, Spain and the rest of Europe from Crewe?
We do. We run full international moves out of Crewe to France, Italy, Spain and Portugal — the load is wrapped and inventoried here, driven down through the Channel crossing, and delivered to your new address. Your written quote sets out the route and what affects timing.
How do I get a price?
Fill in the quote form with your pickup and drop-off addresses and a few details about the load, or give us a ring. We will review it and come back by email with a clear written quote — no obligation, and no vague guesses over the phone.
Storage
Storage in Crewe
Is your storage in Crewe itself?
Yes — our containerised storage is here in Crewe, so your things stay local and go back out on our own van. No handing your load off to a third-party depot miles away.
Can I get to my things while they are in storage?
Access is arranged with us so we can have your container ready. Tell us what you need and when, and we will sort it — it is your property and you should be able to reach it.
Do I have to use your removal service to use the storage?
It works best as one joined-up job — we move it, we store it, we bring it back — but talk to us about what you need and we will find a sensible arrangement.
Europe
International moves from Crewe
How does an international move from Crewe actually work?
We survey the load in Crewe, pack and inventory everything, then load and drive it down to the Channel and on to your destination country. You get a written quote first that sets out the route, what is included, and what affects the timing — customs clearance and consolidation scheduling both play a part.
Do you handle the customs paperwork?
Yes. Since Brexit a move to the EU needs an inventory and the right customs documentation. We prepare what is needed and talk you through the ToR (Transfer of Residence) side where it applies, so nothing holds the load up at the border unnecessarily.
Can you take a part-load if I am not moving a whole house?
Often, yes. On the European routes we can consolidate your goods with other moves heading the same way, which suits smaller loads and second-home moves. It affects the schedule, so we will explain how that works for your route in the quote.
Which UK areas can you collect from before heading to Europe?
Crewe is the hub, but we regularly collect from across the North West and Midlands — Manchester, Liverpool, Stoke-on-Trent, Chester, Warrington, Birmingham — and from further afield by arrangement, before the load runs south to the crossing.
