Removals Buckingham 

Removals Buckingham moves start at our depot on Long March Industrial Estate in Daventry, about 25 miles north of the town. We are a family-run removals and haulage company, so you deal directly with the people doing the work. You are dealing with a person and not a job title. 

Buckingham is a small market town on a loop of the River Great Ouse. It has Georgian streets around Market Hill, a university in the middle of town and stone villages on every side. The A421 and A422 connect it to Milton Keynes, Brackley and Bicester. 

Removals in Buckingham: overview 

This page covers house and office moves, packing, piano moves and storage in Buckingham and the villages around it. Buckingham is a market town in north Buckinghamshire, between Milton Keynes and Brackley. Alltranz is a family-run removals and haulage operator with its own depot in Daventry, Northamptonshire. 

Homes we move in Buckingham 

The centre is the oldest part of town. Castle Street, West Street and Church Street are lined with Georgian and earlier houses, many of them listed, with steps up to the front door and tightly turning staircases. Above the shops on Market Hill and the High Street are flats with rear or side entrances. These are slow carries, so we put enough people on them to keep the day moving. 

The University of Buckingham sits right in town, around Hunter Street and the river. That brings student lets and smaller flats, with many moves at the start and end of terms. 

Away from the centre, the streets off Moreton Road and around Page Hill are mostly post-war and later family homes. Lace Hill, on the southern edge, is a newer estate where access is easy but parking gets tight once residents are home. 

The villages around Buckingham, including Maids Moreton, Gawcott, Tingewick and Padbury, have stone and thatched cottages on lanes too narrow for a large lorry. We choose the vehicle to suit the lane. 

The drive from Daventry to Buckingham 

Buckingham is about 25 miles from our depot, roughly 40 minutes by road. Depending on traffic, we usually come down through Brackley and along the A422, or through Towcester and down the A413. Race weekends at Silverstone, just north of Buckingham, fill the A43 and the roads around Towcester, so we check the circuit calendar before confirming a start time. 

Access in Buckingham town centre 

  • The market is held on Market Hill on Tuesdays and Saturdays. Stalls take up the space a removal van would use, so a move in the centre on those days needs an early start or a different day. 
  • Many central streets have short-stay or restricted parking and few driveways. If we need a length of kerb kept clear, apply to the council for a parking suspension once your date is fixed. We will tell you how many metres the vehicle needs. 
  • Much of the old town is a conservation area. We protect stone steps, door frames and old floors as we work. 
  • The narrow streets in the centre slow down at school drop-off and pick-up times, so we time loads around them. 

Business moves in Buckingham 

Commercial moves here range from offices and shops in the town centre to units on the industrial estates off Tingewick Road and at Osier Way. There are also offices and workshops at Silverstone Park, a short drive north. 

We can work early, late or in stages so you can keep trading. As a haulage firm, we handle racking, IT, archives and heavy equipment as routine. 

Packing, materials and pianos 

Our crews can pack everything, or just the breakables. If you are packing yourself, call in at the trade counter at our Daventry depot for boxes, paper, tape and bubble wrap. 

We move upright and grand pianos. In Buckingham’s period houses, the way out often means front steps and a turning stair, so we measure the route at the survey and bring the right equipment and enough people. 

Haulage credentials, not just a removals van 

Alltranz holds credentials you rarely see on a removals quote. We are Road Haulage Association members and Move Assured accredited, we hold an International CPC and a Waste Carriers Licence, and we are members of the Northamptonshire Chamber of Commerce. All our vehicles carry satnav, trackers and dash cams. 

Booking your Buckingham move 

Start with a call on 01327 876007 or a message through the contact page. We survey in person or by video, then send you a written, itemised quote. The day before, we ring to confirm timings, parking and access at both ends. On the day, the crew loads room by room so everything comes off in order. 

Storage between Buckingham moves 

When completion dates do not line up, your belongings can go into containerised storage at our Daventry depot. We use 8ft, 10ft and 20ft shipping containers on a staffed site. Visits are arranged with our team, so this is not self storage. It also suits furniture that has to come out of a listed home during building work.

Frequently Asked Questions 

Can you move furniture out of a listed house on Castle Street or West Street? 

Yes. Listed houses often have narrow doors, steep stairs and floors that need protecting. We measure the tight spots at the survey and bring the right equipment and protection. If a piece will not come out the way it went in, we tell you before moving day. 

Is it a problem to move on a market day? 

It can be if you live on or near Market Hill. On Tuesdays and Saturdays the stalls take up kerb space, so we either start before they set up or move on another day. We check this when we book. 

How long does it take you to get to Buckingham? 

About 40 minutes from Daventry, a little over 25 miles. On Silverstone race weekends we allow longer. 

Do you move students and staff at the University of Buckingham? 

Yes. Smaller moves from flats and shared houses are no trouble. We can also store belongings over the summer in a container at our Daventry depot. 

Can you move us to Milton Keynes or Aylesbury? 

Yes. Milton Keynes is about 14 miles away and Aylesbury about 17. One written quote covers collection, transport and delivery. 

Are you a local Buckingham firm? 

No. We are based in Daventry, about 25 miles away, where we keep our fleet, our containerised storage and our trade counter.
