What we can move, and how fast, comes down to the building. In Wivenhoe that means narrow quayside cottages and victorian terraces, with 1970s university-era housing and modern riverside flats We check stair turns, doorway widths and lift access before we price the job.
Access in Wivenhoe is its own job. Quayside lanes are single-track with bollards and no turning space, so removals are shuttled; student tenancy changeovers in June and September fill the diary 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 Wivenhoe is a Colne-side former shipbuilding town below Colchester, now split between a historic quay village and the University of Essex population on the hill. We price against that, not against a CO7 average.
Mostafa’s Loqman team were lovely. Mostafa is extremely accommodating. I had a logistically difficult clean (lots of boxes due to moving in) but he managed to instruct carefully how the clean should be carried out. Will definitely call again in the future.
The movers were very friendly, professional, on time, and moved everything with great concern and aplomb. They did not rush or hurry anything, thinking about the duration they were initially booked for. They were also not fussy on any extra payment for extra half an hour they had to put in, although I paid them… Read in full →
Very friendly staff, did a great job and also helped me load my car as am moving house. Lovely employees, a credit to your company and cleaned to a very high standard.

Wivenhoe is a former shipbuilding town on the Colne just below Colchester, and it runs on two clocks. The old quay village is narrow cottages and Victorian terraces on single-track, bollarded lanes with no turning space — a removal there is planned as a shuttle from the top of the hill, with frame protection and a two-person carry as standard.
All of CO7, including Wivenhoe Quay, Wivenhoe Cross, Wivenhoe Park, Elmstead Market, Alresford, Rowhedge. If you are just outside and still in Essex, ask — we usually cover it from the same round.
