Removals, man and van and courier in Northampton

Removals and man and van in Northampton

Most removals and man and van work in Northampton is in one of two kinds of street: the Victorian terraces around Abington, Kingsthorpe and the Racecourse, or the newer estates on the edges of the town, such as Grange Park and Upton, where access is easy.

Smaller jobs are a man and van: a flat, a few rooms or single items, at a fixed price once we know the job, with a driver who helps carry. A full house move starts with a free survey.

Flats, students and single items

Plenty of Northampton work is small: a flat in the town centre, a room in a shared house, or one sofa, bed or wardrobe from a shop or a marketplace seller. That is a man and van at a fixed price, and the driver helps carry.

The University of Northampton's Waterside campus sits beside the river, just south of the town centre, so the start and end of term bring student moves between halls, shared houses and home. Boxes, a bike and a few bags is a man and van job, priced before anything is booked.

Around Northampton

We cover the villages and towns around Northampton too: Moulton, Brixworth and the villages to the north, Duston and the western edge, the villages along the Nene to the south, Daventry to the west and Towcester to the south. Village moves often mean a narrow lane or a long drive, so mention it when you ask and we will send the right van.

Wellingborough, Kettering and Corby each have their own page, and a move between any of them and Northampton is one run with the same crew at both ends.

Courier work in Northampton: the distribution corridor

Brackmills, Swan Valley and the parks either side of junctions 15 and 16 generate steady pallet and urgent freight work. These are sites that run to booking slots and expect a driver to know the process, which is exactly the kind of run that suits a dedicated van rather than a network.

Because so much of our nationwide work passes this way, a collection in Northampton often fits onto a run that is already happening.

Moving house in Northampton

The terraces around Abington and Kingsthorpe are the familiar Victorian pattern: permit parking, no driveway, and a suspension worth arranging in advance. The newer estates to the east and south are straightforward.

It is far enough that a full house move is planned as a single long day rather than squeezed between other jobs, which we will say up front when quoting.

Getting to Northampton from Luton

Northampton is about 38 miles up the M1 from Luton, junction 10 to junction 15, usually around 45 minutes outside the rush. A full house move here is planned as one day with the same crew loading and unloading.
