01 Whole households, surveyed first.
Chester period and timber-framed property, Golden Triangle detached homes behind gates, Warrington family housing, salt-town terraces and farms on the Plain. Four different jobs, quoted as four different jobs.
Read more → 02 Planned as long work from the start.
The M6 runs the length of the county, which makes Cheshire unusually well placed for a long move. Crewed for the real distance, with a straight answer at survey about whether it is one day or two.
Read more → 03 Out of hours, usually.
Town-centre practices and studios, workshops, small units, and the business parks along the M56 and M6. Phased across several evenings where a business genuinely cannot stop.
Read more → 04 A room, a collection, one heavy thing.
Two people and a smaller vehicle, booked by the job — including dealer and auction collections around Chester, Nantwich and Knutsford, which are rarely as simple as they look.
Read more → 05 Wrapped, inventoried, racked indoors.
Containerised rather than self-store: we pack it, list it, store it and bring it back. For long chains, renovation on a newly bought period house, and the gap before a move abroad.

Protection before technique.
The county has a great deal of it. Lime plaster marks, original boards scuff, and old framing will not forgive a corner taken at speed. Boards, padding and an agreed route before anything moves.
07 Packing & careful handling
Full, part, or just the breakables.
Cell partitions for glass, purpose-made cases for framed work and mirrors, crating for stone and marble tops. Materials chosen per item rather than per room.
08 France, Spain, Italy and Portugal.
Route-pair framed from Cheshire, with export wrapping specified for the longer road and storage here while residence paperwork completes.

Four things move the number: how much is going, the access at both ends, how much packing you want done, and how far it travels. Not the season, not how urgent it sounds, not what somebody else quoted.
That also makes quotes comparable. If you are weighing us against another firm, check both have measured the same volume and assume the same packing depth — most of the difference between two prices lives there.
Unsure which you need? Describe it on the quote form. Questions covers what comes up next, and coverage shows where we work.
