Long Distance Moving by Giant Van

Chelmsford has a varied street layout that affects how we plan every collection.

The town centre around High Street and Tindal Square includes narrow lanes and loading restrictions that apply between 8am and 6pm on weekdays. We book early morning slots for properties in those areas to avoid delays and parking fines.

The CM1 postcode covers central Chelmsford including Broomfield Road, Waterhouse Lane, and the New Street area.

Many roads here have on-street parking only, so we arrive with sufficient notice to reserve a space or apply for a temporary suspension if needed. The CM2 postcode covers Moulsham, Galleywood, and parts of Great Baddow, where access is generally easier. Wide residential streets like Beehive Lane and Meadgate Avenue allow our larger vehicles to park close to the property.

CM3 covers villages to the east and north including Danbury, South Woodham Ferrers, and Hatfield Peverel.

These rural routes are straightforward for our standard vans, though we always check for low bridges on the B1418 and minor roads off the A414 near Chelmer Valley.

For high-rise flats or buildings with lift access, such as properties near Riverside Ice and Leisure or along Victoria Road South, we confirm lift dimensions in advance.

Our vans carry furniture blankets and floor runners to protect communal areas in apartment blocks.

For outbound routes from Chelmsford, the A12 southbound to the M25 is our standard exit for jobs heading to London, the South East, and beyond.

For moves to the Midlands and North, we use the A131 to the A120, joining the M11 at Stansted.
