Removals and man and van in Harpenden

Harpenden is mostly a removals town: four- and five-bedroom family houses, with lofts, garages and gardens, and some smaller flats and cottages near the High Street. For a full house move we start with a free survey and give a fixed price.

For a flat, a few rooms or single items, a man and van is a fixed price once we know the job, with a driver who helps carry. Packing is available for glassware, art and anything fragile.

Bigger houses, longer days

Harpenden moves are typically four and five bedrooms with a loft, a garage and a garden that has its own furniture. The volume is what catches people out — a house like that is often two van loads, not one, and that is a scheduling question as much as a pricing one.

Access is usually the easy part: driveways, off-street parking and room to work. Around the common and the older roads off the High Street there are exceptions, with gravel drives and mature trees that decide which vehicle fits.

This is also where packing earns its money. Where a move includes glassware, art, instruments or a wine collection, we would rather pack it ourselves than inherit a box somebody filled optimistically.

Getting to Harpenden from Luton

Harpenden is about 6 miles from Luton on the A1081, usually 15 minutes outside the rush. It is one of our shortest runs, so moves from Harpenden to Luton, St Albans or London are one run with the same crew at both ends.
