Navigating Shirley Roads on Moving Day
Shirley sits in the Metropolitan Borough of Solihull, just south of Birmingham city centre.
The B90 postcode covers most of the residential housing stock here, including the Whitlocks End and Dickens Heath areas to the south. B91 covers Solihull town centre, which borders Shirley to the north along Stratford Road (A34).
This is one of our most frequently used approach routes for removals in the area.
Stratford Road can get congested during morning and evening rush hours, particularly between the Shirley High Street junction and the Dog Kennel Lane crossroads.
We plan our runs to avoid these peak windows wherever possible. Our GPS-tracked vehicles update in real time, so you always know exactly where your team is.
Parking for a removal lorry in Shirley is generally manageable.
Most streets off Bills Lane and Haslucks Green Road have adequate kerbside space. Streets closer to Shirley town centre, particularly those off Poplar Road and around the Parkgate shopping area, can be tighter. We assess parking conditions ahead of every job.
If a parking suspension permit is needed from Solihull Metropolitan Borough Council, we advise you to apply at least five working days in advance.
We can advise on this process if you are unsure. Canal-side properties near the Stratford-upon-Avon Canal in Shirley may require special planning. Our team has experience with these access types and will bring the right equipment.
Tight corners and narrow passageways are not a problem for us.

Work Out Your Moving CostShirley Packing and Prep Advice
These five steps will keep your move on track.
Shirley is a popular residential area and our B90 and B91 slots fill quickly, particularly on Fridays and at the end of the month. Same-day bookings are available from £80, but planning ahead is always better.
If there are double yellow lines or resident permit zones directly outside, contact Solihull Metropolitan Borough Council to arrange a temporary suspension. This costs around £55 and takes three to five working days to process.
Our team handles glassware, artwork, and mirrors with care, but clear labels help us pack the lorry correctly. Wrap breakables in bubble wrap or clothing before we arrive if you want extra protection.
Water trapped inside can damage flooring and other belongings during transit. This is one of the most commonly forgotten steps.
The DVLA update for your driving licence and vehicle registration takes up to two weeks to process. Get it done as early as possible to avoid fines.
