Shrewsbury

Removals in Shrewsbury

Shrewsbury is an hour from our Chester base down the A483 and A5 and about the same from our Mid Wales base through Newtown and Welshpool, which means a Shrewsbury move is quoted from whichever base is nearer the other end of it. The town inside the loop of the Severn is medieval: narrow streets, timber-framed houses with stairs that turn twice, and a one-way system that decides where a van can wait. Outside the loop, Frankwell, Belle Vue, Monkmoor, Copthorne, Radbrook, Sutton Farm and Bayston Hill are terraces, semis and larger houses with drives.

Inside the loop

Wyle Cop, Dogpole, St Mary's Street, Castle Street and the shuts between them are flats and houses in buildings older than most of Chester's. The plan is a small van close to the door within the loading hours, a larger vehicle on the Abbey Foregate side or at the Frankwell car park, export wrapping for anything going down a turning stair, and a bay suspension from Shropshire Council where the street has residents' bays. Tell us the street and the floor, or send photos of the stairs, and the quote allows for it.

The suburbs

Frankwell and Kingsland are period villas and the school's streets; Belle Vue and Coleham are terraces close to the river; Monkmoor, Sundorne, Harlescott and Sutton Farm are estates and semis with drives; Copthorne, Radbrook, Meole Brace and Bayston Hill are larger houses on wide roads. Most of these are a Luton at the door and a straightforward day.

Business moves

Offices and business units in Shrewsbury can move out of hours, with IT boxed by desk and the hours set out in the quote. Town-centre offices inside the loop are the smaller, fiddlier jobs, planned around the loading hours.
