Your whole home, moved by people who treat it like their own.

Learn moreHow we move you
Four steps that overlap — because a good move is joined up, not handed off.
- 01
Survey
We look at the real job
In person or by video, we walk the move — access, stairs, awkward pieces, parking — so the quote reflects your move, not a guess.
- 02
Plan
We map it out with you
Packing, timing, storage if the dates slip, and any customs paperwork for European moves — agreed before a single box is lifted.
- 03
Move
We carry it carefully
A settled crew, proper protection for fragile and antique pieces, and dismantle-and-reassemble handled as part of the day.
- 04
Settle
We leave you moved in
Furniture where you want it, beds rebuilt, boxes unpacked if you asked, and the packaging cleared away behind us.
Why families and businesses choose us
A firm that stakes its name on every move it makes.
- Care
- Your things are wrapped, padded and carried as if they were ours. Fragile and antique pieces get real protection, not a rushed job.
- Experience
- A family firm that has moved every kind of home and office — the tight staircase, the grand piano, the office that had to reopen on Monday.
- Coverage
- Local moves, cross-country relocations and European moves, run by one team you can actually get hold of.
- Accountability
- The people who quote your move are the people responsible for it. If something needs sorting, you speak to us, not a call centre.
Our reach, step by step
From a single street to another country — the same crew, the same standards, scaled to the move in front of us.

The European arm
Moving to the Continent? We'll get you there.
A move abroad is a bigger undertaking than a move down the road, and it deserves a firm that treats it that way. We plan the route, handle the post-Brexit customs paperwork, and pack and protect your belongings for the longer journey — most often to France, Spain, Germany and Italy.

The kind of move people tell their friends about.
Clearing my mother's house after she passed was the hardest thing I've done. The Eckersley team were patient, kind and never once made me feel rushed. They set aside everything I asked them to and treated the rest with real respect.
We moved the whole office over a weekend and were trading again on Monday morning. Everything labelled, everything where it should be, IT reconnected. Genuinely the least stressful office move we've had.
They packed our flat like it was their own, handled all the customs paperwork for the move to France, and delivered without a single scratch. We'd recommend them to anyone taking the plunge abroad.

Protecting fragile and antique pieces for a move
Mirrors, glass, artwork and heirlooms need more than a bit of bubble wrap. Here is how we crate, pad and load the pieces you cannot replace.

Questions we're often asked
Are you a genuinely family-run removals firm?
Yes. Eckersley Removals is family-run, and it shows in how we work — the same people quote your move, plan it, and are accountable for it on the day. We would rather turn a job down than over-promise on one, and we treat your home the way we would treat our own.
Do you handle both home and business moves?
We do. Home removals and business or office moves are both core to what we do. Household moves are planned room by room; office moves are planned around your working day so you can get back up and running with the least disruption we can manage.
How do I get a quote, and does it cost anything?
Send us your pickup and drop-off addresses and a few details about the move through the quote form, or give us a call. Quoting is free and without obligation. For larger or more complex moves we will arrange a survey — in person or by video — so the written quote reflects the real job rather than a guess.
Can you pack for us as well as move us?
Yes. You can have us pack everything, pack only the fragile and awkward items, or pack yourself and leave the heavy lifting to us. Antiques, artwork, mirrors and glass get proper protection, and we can dismantle and reassemble beds and flat-pack furniture.
Do you offer storage if my move-in date slips?
We do. If there is a gap between moving out and moving in, we can store your belongings in clean, secure storage for as long as you need and deliver when you are ready. It is a common part of a chain move, so just tell us if the dates are uncertain.
Do you move to Europe as well as within the UK?
Yes. Alongside our UK work we run a European removals arm, most often to France, Spain, Germany and Italy. We handle the route planning, the customs paperwork that came with Brexit, and the same careful packing and handling you would get on a domestic move.
