Leaving Macclesfield for another part of the UK is a house move with a long middle. The local half is familiar: a terrace, a village lane, a drive on an estate. The other half is whatever the new address actually is. Both need a plan.
Start with two real addresses
Send the Macclesfield collection address and the full delivery address, with floors and parking at each end. “Somewhere down south” is not a quote. Long distance removals are priced from the list, the access and the journey you need. We do not publish a fixed set of routes and treat every other town as an exception.
Get a quote while the chain is still moving. It stays valid for 3 months. If completion slips or the new house changes, tell us. A quote for the wrong door is not a small error on a long day.
What you should carry yourself
Passports, medication, laptops, school bags and anything you need the night you arrive should be in your car. The van is for furniture and labelled boxes. You do not have to travel in the van. Meet it at the new home inside the window we agree. That window is a range, because traffic and key times both move.
If the keys will be late, say so before the van leaves Macclesfield. Unloading onto a pavement because the agent is at lunch is how damage happens.
Packing and the Macclesfield end
Glass and lamps should be packed properly for a long drive. Our packing service can do that the day before. At this end, the same parking rules apply as a local move. Centre streets, Hurdsfield hills, Prestbury lanes, Wilmslow bays and Disley on the A6 all need a lawful stop. Solve that in the quote.
Insurance is provided. Ask us what is covered when you book, and mention anything you want noted. On the morning, walk the old house once. Lofts get forgotten when everyone is thinking about the motorway.
