What we can move, and how fast, comes down to the building. In Colchester that means georgian townhouses and victorian terraces in the centre, with post-2000 garrison redevelopment housing at berechurch and hythe We check stair turns, doorway widths and lift access before we price the job.
Access in Colchester is its own job. The Dutch Quarter and North Hill are narrow, steep and single-track in places, so larger removals are staged with a shuttle van, and university-area tenancy changeovers in June and September book out weeks ahead. We confirm parking, permits and carry distance with you when we quote, so nobody is negotiating a loading bay on the morning of the move.
Locally, loading time is set by the street and the staircase, and Colchester is britain's oldest recorded town and now a city, mixing Roman walls and Dutch Quarter lanes with large garrison-era estates and student housing around the university at Greenstead. We price against that, not against a CO1, CO2, CO3, CO4 average.
A throughly professional and friendly job. Moving house can be stressful, and these guys made the experience significantly less so by efficiently cleaning the house.
Abdullah and Aran were just BRILLIANT. So friendly and efficient, I ended up enjoying my moving day!!
The two guys (for some strange reason I didn’t get their names) did an excellent job. I had a big pile of cardboard boxes from my Christmas presents which they cleared, as well as taking down my bags & boxes for recycling.

Colchester runs from Roman wall to garrison redevelopment inside three miles. Georgian townhouses and Victorian terraces fill the centre and the Dutch Quarter, Lexden and Prettygate hold larger interwar villas, and Berechurch and the Hythe carry the post-2000 garrison and waterside housing. Add the university at Greenstead and you get a rental market that turns over hard twice a year, which is why our end-of-tenancy diary for CO4 fills weeks ahead in June and September.
All of CO1, CO2, CO3, CO4, including Town centre, Dutch Quarter, Lexden, Greenstead, Highwoods, Prettygate. If you are just outside and still in Essex, ask — we usually cover it from the same round.
