The things people ask before they book
Grouped by the kind of move you’re planning. If your question isn’t here, just ask — we’d rather give you a straight answer than leave you guessing.
Moving around Lincolnshire
Which parts of the county do you cover?
All of it. Lincoln and the market towns — Boston, Grantham, Stamford, Sleaford, Spalding, Bourne, Louth, Horncastle — the coast at Skegness and Mablethorpe, Gainsborough and the north-west, and the villages and farms across the Wolds and the Fens. If you’re in Lincolnshire, we can help.
My move crosses a fair bit of the county — is that a problem?
Not at all — long inter-town runs are normal here. Lincolnshire is a big, rural county, and a move from, say, Gainsborough to Skegness covers real ground. We plan the route on the A1, A46, A15, A16 or A17 and price the distance honestly rather than pretend everything is round the corner.
Can you get to a farmhouse, barn conversion or village property?
Yes, and it’s a big part of what we do in a farming county. We check the access before the day — the state of the track, where the lorry can turn, and whether the last stretch needs a smaller van. Nothing about the approach should be a surprise on moving day.
Do you know Lincoln itself — the hill, the parking?
We do. The terraces below the hill, the flats and student places up towards the cathedral and Steep Hill, the cobbles and the tight parking uphill — city moves in Lincoln have their own quirks, and we plan for them rather than learn them on the day.
Services and how we work
What’s the difference between man-and-van and a full house removal?
Man-and-van suits smaller jobs — a few items, a small flat, a student move — usually a driver and one mover. A full house removal brings a larger crew and lorry, packing if you want it, and a plan for the whole household. We’ll point you to whichever actually fits, not the pricier option.
Do you handle business, farm and agricultural moves?
Yes. Offices and shops in the towns, and the moves that come with a farming county — clearing and relocating farmhouses, yard and workshop kit, and rural business premises. We plan around your work and bring the right vehicles for heavier or awkward loads.
Do you offer storage?
We do — managed storage as part of a move. It suits a gap between homes, a student summer, or clearing space while you sort the next step. From a few boxes to a full household; we collect, store and deliver it back when you’re ready.
Do you pack for me, or do I pack myself?
Either. Some people pack their own boxes and have us handle the furniture and fragile bits; others hand over the whole house. We can supply materials, pack a single room like the kitchen, or wrap and box everything.
Moving abroad from Lincolnshire
Do you move people abroad, not just around the county?
Yes. Alongside the county work, we run door-to-door international moves from Lincolnshire to France, Spain, Italy and Portugal. We load at your address — city, town, village or farm — and deliver to the door abroad, with the customs paperwork handled.
Lincolnshire is a long way from the Channel — how does that work?
It’s just part of the plan. The first leg — down the A1 to the south-east and the crossing — is a real drive, and we build it into the schedule properly. France remains the nearest and simplest destination; Spain, Italy and Portugal are longer hauls, usually best as consolidated loads.
Do you handle the customs side after Brexit?
We do. For each country we prepare the inventory and customs entry so your goods travel as personal effects rather than a commercial shipment, and we manage the transit. You supply a few documents proving it’s a genuine home move; we do the rest.
Can I send just some furniture abroad rather than a whole house?
Yes — a part-load shares lorry space with other moves heading the same way, which keeps a long-distance move affordable. Given the distance from Lincolnshire, it’s often the sensible choice. We scope it to exactly what you’re sending.
Quotes and booking
How do you work out the price?
It comes down to how much is moving, how far, and how easy the access is at both ends. There are no fixed shelf prices — a city terrace is different from a farmhouse down a lane, and distance across the county counts. For anything bigger than a room or two we’ll arrange a quick survey so the quote is accurate.
Is the quote free and without obligation?
Yes. Getting a quote costs nothing and doesn’t commit you to anything. Fill in the form or call, and we’ll come back to you to talk the move through.
How far ahead should I book?
The sooner the better, especially around month-end and weekends when demand is highest. That said, we take shorter-notice jobs when we can — get in touch and we’ll tell you honestly what’s possible.
Do you cover just outside Lincolnshire too?
Often, yes — the county edges blur into Nottinghamshire, Cambridgeshire, Rutland and the East Riding, and we regularly move people across those borders. If you’re near Lincolnshire and moving locally or abroad, just ask.
Still got a question?
