Everything we move

What we move in Slough

Grouped by who is doing the moving rather than by service name, because a house completion and a tenancy check-out share a van and almost nothing else.

On more than one row at once? That is common here, and it is planned as one job.

Households

Owner-occupiers moving within the SL postcodes or out of them.

J1

House removals

A whole house, SL1 to SL3

A full household move, surveyed room by room. Most Slough houses are interwar semis or postwar estates with a drive, which makes loading straightforward and puts the whole job on the inventory rather than on access.

J2

Man and van

Part-loads and single pieces

Two crew and a van for a room, a single heavy item, or a part-load that has to clear by a certain day. The most-booked job in the SL postcodes and the one most often booked at short notice.

What it involves →

Renting

Tenancies, rooms and the gaps between them — deadline-driven work.

J3

Tenancy and room moves

Deadlines set by an agreement

Slough rents more than it buys, and a tenancy end date does not negotiate. This is the job planned backwards from a check-out: clear, clean run, and nothing left behind to argue about.

J4

Storage

Held between two addresses

Goods collected, listed and held while you are between places. Common here because tenancy ends and new starts rarely meet, and because relocations frequently arrive before the housing does.

What it involves →

Business

Trading Estate units, Bath Road offices, stock and records.

J5

Office and trading estate moves

Units, offices, stock

Moves on and around the Slough Trading Estate and the office blocks along Bath Road: unit to unit, floor to floor, scheduled around a lease and a loading bay rather than around a household.

What it involves →

Relocating

Postings in and out, usually with a date set by somebody else.

J6

Relocation and airport moves

Arriving, leaving, or passing through

Slough sits next to Heathrow and a great deal of what moves here is somebody starting or ending a posting. Part-loads, staged deliveries, and goods held until the accommodation is confirmed.

How the figure is worked out

Four inputs, and urgency is not one of them. Volume — what is genuinely going, measured rather than counted in bedrooms. Access at both ends. How much packing you want done. And whether anything has to be held between two dates.

That also makes quotes comparable. If you are weighing us against another firm, check both measured the same volume and assumed the same packing. A cheaper quote that expects you to pack the kitchen is not cheaper.

You will not find a price, a rate card or a transit time anywhere on this site, because none of them are knowable before a survey. What follows the survey is a written figure against a stated inventory. Start on the quote form, or read the questions page for what usually comes up next.

Tell us the deadline

Send the two addresses, roughly what is moving and the date you cannot miss. We read it, ask what the form could not, and come back with a written quote.
