Removals in Gateshead

Yes. We cover every part of the borough, including NE8, NE9, NE10, NE11, NE16, NE17, NE21, NE39 and NE40. That runs from the Quays and town centre out to Ryton, Crawcrook, Rowlands Gill and Chopwell in the west, and down to Birtley and Kibblesworth in the south.

It depends on the size of your property, the distance, the access at both ends, and whether you want us to pack. A one-bed flat within Gateshead is a very different job to a four-bed house moving to Durham. We survey the move, either in person or by video, then give you one clear price with no surprises on the day. Independent trade directory Checkatrade puts UK house removals broadly between £506 and £1,266, which is a fair starting frame, but your quote should reflect your actual move rather than an average.

Yes, and we do it constantly. Upper Tyneside flats have a staircase running straight up behind the front door, which limits what will physically turn on the way out. We will tell you at survey if a wardrobe or sofa needs dismantling, and we bring the tools to do it. Rear stair access is often the better route, and we will check it before moving day rather than discovering it at 8am.

Sometimes. Gateshead Council issues parking dispensations specifically for furniture removals where restrictions or time limits apply. As of the council's published fees, that is a £120 non-refundable admin charge plus £5.50 for each six metres of road, and you must apply at least three working days in advance. Dispensations are not granted within 50 metres of a signal-controlled junction or a pedestrian crossing, and will not cover disabled bays, taxi ranks or bus stops. If you live in one of the resident permit zones, for example around Kells Lane, Beaconsfield Road, Clement Street in Low Fell or Church Chare in Whickham, mention it when you enquire and we will factor it into the plan.

Only in terms of routing and timing, and that is our problem rather than yours. The Newcastle and Gateshead Clean Air Zone charges older, non-compliant vans and HGVs crossing into the zone, and the Tyne Bridge restoration has reduced the bridge to one lane each way. We plan Gateshead to Newcastle moves around it, usually via the A1 or the Redheugh, and build the extra time into your slot. [Source: https://www.breathe-cleanair.com/]

Yes. Our secure storage covers you for the gap between moving out and moving in, whether that is three days or three months. It is also useful if you are downsizing and want somewhere to hold furniture while you decide.

Yes. We handle full and part clearances, including probate and bereavement clearances, end-of-tenancy clearances for landlords, and downsizing. We work at your pace and we recycle or donate what we can rather than sending everything to landfill.

As early as you can, especially for a Friday or a month end, which are the busiest slots. That said, we keep capacity back for short-notice moves and completions that shift, so it is always worth a call even if your date is next week.
