Removals Company Alcester
Moving in Alcester,
What to Know
Alcester is one of Warwickshire's oldest market towns, with a Roman history, a medieval street plan and a conservation area covering most of the town centre. That history makes it a lovely place to live and a more involved place to move. Properties on the High Street, Malt Mill Lane and around St Nicholas Church include Tudor timber-frames, Georgian townhouses and Victorian terraces, many of them grade listed or within the conservation boundary. Stratford-on-Avon District Council requires loading to comply with conservation area conditions, and most of these streets are too narrow for a 7.5 tonne lorry, so we run a shuttle vehicle for the final leg and plan the loading bay arrangement in advance.
The bulk of Alcester's residential moves are in the post-war and newer stock: the 1950s and 1960s semis off Kinwarton Road, the houses on the Allimore Lane and Birmingham Road edges of town, and the newer cul-de-sacs that have been added over the past 20 years. These are generally fine for a Luton or 3.5 tonne van and straightforward on access, though we always check the kerb drop and gate width on the survey visit rather than assuming.
The surrounding villages, Arrow, Wixford, Bidford-on-Avon, Kings Coughton and Oversley Green, add a different challenge: single-track lanes, no passing places and properties that have never had a large vehicle anywhere near them. We factor in time for those approaches and carry loading boards to bridge soft verges. One other thing worth knowing is that the River Arrow runs through the town, and a handful of properties near the riverside have access that needs checking after wet weather before we commit to a date.

A 5.0★ rating from over 95 reviews signals consistency, not a lucky run of a few good jobs.
