House removals in Macclesfield

What’s included

A house move covers the furniture and boxes you list, from the first bedroom to the shed you actually want emptied. We agree the list before the day so the van, the crew and the time match the job. Standard beds, dining tables and flat-pack wardrobes are taken apart and put back together when the joints allow it. Fitted kitchens, gas appliances and anything wired into the wall stay with the house unless we have agreed a separate arrangement with you.

Blankets, covers and room labels keep sofas, mattresses and glass separate in the van. Floors and banisters are protected where the crew is walking. Insurance is provided. Ask us what is covered when you book, especially for antiques, instruments or anything you would rather move yourself.

If you want crockery, books and clothes boxed as well, that is our packing service, added to the same quote. You can also pack yourself and hand us a house that is ready to load.

How our service works

Start with both addresses, the floors, and how close a van can get. A photo of the stairs, the parking bay or a narrow cottage door tells us more than a room count. We reply with a written quote and no obligation. That quote stays valid for 3 months, which matters when a chain moves and completion slips by a week or two.

On the day the crew works to the order we agreed. Upstairs rooms are usually loaded so they can come off first at the other end, unless you want a different plan. We check doors, windows and that the water and power tasks you own are left with you. We do not hold keys for an estate agent unless you have asked us to, and we do not dispose of rubbish left in the loft.

At the new house we place furniture in the rooms you name and rebuild the pieces we dismantled. You sign off when the list is empty and the van is clear.

What affects the cost

The size of the home is the starting point, then access. A straight path from the door to the kerb is quicker than a carry across a green or down a flight of steps to the street. Parking that forces a shuttle with a smaller van adds time. So does a long drive between the two addresses.

Packing, dismantling of unusual furniture, and a move that includes a piano are extra to a standard house load. The date matters too. We would rather quote a Tuesday than squeeze a Friday completion into a day that is already full.

There is a rough calculator on this site if you want a sense of the factors. For a figure you can plan around, ask for a quote and list the rooms honestly.

House moves around the town and the villages

From our base at 34 Market Pl we reach most of Macclesfield in a short drive, then the villages on the hills and the plain. Terraces in Hurdsfield often mean a tight stair and on-street parking. Tytherington is newer estates with drives, which is simpler for a large van. Prestbury and Bollington mix stone cottages, mill terraces and houses set back from the lane. Gawsworth is quieter still, with longer drives and narrow approaches.

Tell us about both ends when you request a quote. If you are comparing local firms, our Macclesfield removals page sets out the services we actually run. House moves are the core of that work, with office moves alongside them.
