About us

A family removals business, run by Leanne and Paul

Duffield Removals is a family removals and storage business: Duffield is the family name. Paul Duffield started it in 2018, Leanne Hunt joined in 2020, and we have run it together ever since. Today (September 2026) we are a team of 11 with our own fleet of 8 Luton vans, based in Chester and in Mid Wales, with storage at Rhayader and in Chester, goods in transit insurance to £120,000 and our own waste carrier licence, CBDU13412.

Founded by Paul Duffield in 2018 and joined by Leanne Hunt in 2020, Duffield Removals is a proudly family-run removals and storage business. Together, we take a hands-on approach, personally managing enquiries and supporting our experienced team to deliver a friendly, reliable and professional service. From your first enquiry to moving day, we're here to help.

Our team and fleet

At Duffield Removals, we have an experienced team of 11 (September 2026) and our own fleet of 8 Luton box vans, including Renault Master, Vauxhall Movano and Mercedes Sprinter removal vehicles. Our vans carry our distinctive blue Duffield Removals logos, with "Removals, House Clearance & Waste Disposal" on the side. Based in Chester and Mid Wales, we cover Cheshire, North Wales, Shropshire, Powys and beyond.

From small house moves to large property removals, we can send several vans and crew members to suit the size and requirements of your move.

In the community

Every year we give our time and our vans to Hospice of the Good Shepherd's Christmas tree collection in Chester, one of our favourite days of the year. Leanne and Paul go out on the round, collecting the trees. Hospice of the Good Shepherd thanked us by name on LinkedIn in January 2025, alongside its other tree collection volunteers. In the post, the hospice says the volunteers "collected thousands of trees" and that this helped it "raise over £50,000".
