Removals Northampton jobs are close to home for us. Our depot on Long March Industrial Estate in Daventry is about 14 miles west of the town along the A45, around 25 minutes by road. We are a family-run removals and haulage firm, and you are dealing with a person and not a job title.
Northampton is the county’s biggest town, built on the boot and shoe trade and greatly expanded since the 1970s. That gives it Victorian terraces, Edwardian villas, new town estates and modern builds, with the M1 at junctions 15, 15A and 16 on its doorstep.
This page covers house moves, flat moves, office and warehouse moves, packing and storage across Northampton and its surrounding villages. Northampton is the county town of Northamptonshire, on the River Nene about 14 miles east of Daventry. Alltranz is a family-run removals and haulage operator with its own depot and containerised storage in Daventry.
Semilong, St James, Far Cotton and Kingsley are mostly Victorian terraces, many built for workers in the shoe factories. Front doors open onto the pavement, the stairs are steep and narrow, and street parking is shared with permit holders. We plan these moves around the carry: enough people, and furniture taken apart when it will not go round the stairs.
Around Abington Park, Phippsville and the roads off the Wellingborough Road, the houses get bigger. Edwardian semis and villas with high ceilings, bay windows and heavy period furniture take longer to pack and protect, and we allow for that in the plan.
Much of eastern and southern Northampton was built when it became a new town in the 1970s. Estates such as Lings, Thorplands, Ecton Brook, East Hunsbury and West Hunsbury have family homes with short drives and shared parking courts. Access is usually simple, but the parking courts fill up in the evening, so we prefer an early start.
To the west, Upton, St Crispin and Sixfields are newer developments, and further south Grange Park and Wootton add more modern estates. New builds often have allocated bays and narrow shared drives, so we check where the van can stand before the day.
Older village centres in Duston, Dallington, Kingsthorpe, Weston Favell and Moulton have stone cottages and larger detached homes, sometimes on lanes where a smaller vehicle is the better choice.
Our own crews offer a full pack or a fragile-only pack, and we take apart and rebuild beds, wardrobes and tables as part of the move. If you would rather pack yourself, boxes, paper, tape and bubble wrap are sold at our Daventry trade counter.
Northampton has a lot of flats. Former shoe factories in the Boot and Shoe Quarter have been turned into apartments, and there are blocks in and around the town centre with shared entrances and lifts. If your building has a lift, ask the managing agent whether it can be reserved and whether it needs protecting, and check where a van can load.
The University of Northampton’s Waterside Campus sits by the river, and many students and staff rent in St James, Semilong and Abington. Smaller flat and room moves are straightforward for us, and summer storage in a container at our depot is an option between tenancies.
Our depot is about 14 miles west of Northampton. The usual route is the A45 through Weedon and Flore into Duston and Sixfields, which takes around 25 minutes. On match days at Franklin’s Gardens and Sixfields, Weedon Road and the A45 near the grounds get busy, so we check the fixture lists when we book. For moves heading north or south, the M1 at junctions 15, 15A and 16 is a few minutes away.
Northampton has a lot of warehousing and distribution, clustered around the M1 at Brackmills, Swan Valley and Grange Park, with Moulton Park, Round Spinney and Lodge Farm on the north and west sides of town. Office moves in the town centre are a different job again, with stairs, lifts and limited loading.
As a haulage operator as well as a removals firm, we are set up for pallet racking, stock, IT equipment and office furniture. We plan business moves around your working hours, including evenings, weekends and phased moves. Anything that needs holding for a few days can go into storage at our depot.
There are plenty of removal companies in Northampton. What sets us apart is that we are a haulage operator as well. We are Road Haulage Association members, hold an International CPC and a Waste Carriers Licence, are Move Assured accredited and are members of the Northamptonshire Chamber of Commerce. Most local removal firms do not hold these haulage credentials.
We are a family-run business with our own depot, containerised storage and trade counter in Daventry. Every move starts with a survey and a written quote, and every vehicle carries satnav, trackers and dash cams.
If your sale and purchase do not complete on the same day, we can load straight into containerised storage at our Daventry depot, 25 minutes from Northampton. We use 8ft, 10ft and 20ft shipping containers on a staffed site, with internal crates, archive storage and racking if you need them. Visits are by appointment with our team, so this is not self storage. It suits a few weeks between contracts, a renovation or a move abroad.
Daventry is about 14 miles west, Towcester about 9 miles south west, Long Buckby about 10 miles north west, Wellingborough about 11 miles east and Kettering about 15 miles north east.

It depends on how much you are moving, the access at both ends and whether you need packing or storage. In Northampton, access makes a real difference: a terrace in a Semilong permit zone takes longer to load than a house with a drive in Hunsbury. We survey first and give you a written quote. Call 01327 876007 or use the contact form.
If your street is in a residents’ permit zone or is always full, it is worth applying. West Northamptonshire Council needs notice, so apply as soon as you have a date. Tell us at the survey and we will confirm how much kerb space the vehicle needs.
Yes. Ask your managing agent whether the lift can be booked and protected, and where vans can park. We plan the carry around what the building allows and bring protection for walls, doors and floors.
