Removals Cambridgeshire — City and County
Cambridgeshire stretches well beyond the city.
Fully Insured
CB postcodes cover Cambridge city, Ely (CB6 and CB7), Newmarket (CB8), Saffron Walden (CB10 and CB11), and Huntingdon (PE28 — technically PE, but our Cambridgeshire teams cover it).
Rural moves in the Fens are a different proposition from city-centre Cambridge: access roads to villages like Wicken, Reach, and Swaffham Prior can be single-track with no turning point.
We carry a Transit for these routes when a Luton would be impractical.
Removals Cambridgeshire county-wide from £39.
All routes fully insured.
Home Removals Cambridge — What Makes the City Different
Cambridge's rising bollard system covers most of the city centre.
Permit-holders and delivery vehicles with advance authorisation can access streets like King's Parade, Trinity Street, and St John's Street — others are turned back.
Our Cambridge teams carry council access permits as standard (cost: £10 per day, applied for 5 working days ahead).
Mill Road is among the city's busiest residential streets: one-way, cycle lanes on both sides, and barely enough width for a Luton van when cars are parked.
We use Gwydir Street or Sleaford Street for Mill Road loading.
