Removals Stratford-upon-Avon 

Removals Stratford-upon-Avon jobs run from our depot on Long March Industrial Estate in Daventry, about 30 miles away via Southam, Warwick and the A46. We are a family-run removals and haulage firm, and from the first call you are dealing with a person and not a job title. 

Stratford is a busy riverside town. It has timber-framed and Georgian streets around the theatres and Holy Trinity Church, and newer homes on the edges at Shottery, Bishopton and Meon Vale. Heavy visitor traffic all year shapes how and when we load. 

Removals in Stratford-upon-Avon: overview 

This page covers house moves, office moves, piano moves, packing and storage in Stratford-upon-Avon and nearby villages. Stratford-upon-Avon is a market town on the River Avon in south Warwickshire, about 8 miles south west of Warwick. Alltranz is a family-run removals and haulage operator with its own depot and containerised storage in Daventry, Northamptonshire. 

House Removals Stratford-upon-Avon 

The old centre is laid out on a medieval street plan. Henley Street, Sheep Street, Chapel Street and Church Street have timber-framed and Georgian buildings, many listed, with flats above shops and holiday lets mixed in. Inside, expect low beams, uneven floors and stairs that turn tightly. We take furniture apart where it helps, protect the old surfaces and keep the carry steady. 

Old Town and the streets near Holy Trinity Church have larger period houses, often with steps at the front and narrow side access. South of the river, Bridgetown and the roads off Shipston Road and Banbury Road mix Victorian and twentieth-century homes. 

Newer homes sit around the edge of town. Shottery, to the west, has a large modern estate beside the old hamlet. Bishopton, to the north west, has homes built over the last few decades. Meon Vale, a few miles south west, is a newer village on a former Ministry of Defence depot. Allocated bays and tight cul-de-sacs are common, so we check where the vehicle can stand before moving day. 

Villages such as Tiddington, Welford-on-Avon, Wellesbourne and Clifford Chambers have cottages and larger homes on lanes that suit a smaller vehicle. Some thatched cottages have low doorways that need extra care on the way out. 

Our crews offer a full pack, a fragile-only pack or a partial pack, using recyclable and sustainable materials. You can also buy boxes, paper, bubble wrap and tape from our Daventry trade counter. 

Getting from Daventry to Stratford-upon-Avon 

Stratford is about 30 miles from our depot, roughly 50 minutes by road. We usually travel through Southam and Leamington, then take the A46 south past Warwick. For moves heading north or towards London, the M40 at junction 15 is a short run up the A46. 

Visitors shape Stratford’s traffic. Coaches, theatre audiences and weekend crowds fill the centre, and Clopton Bridge carries most of the traffic across the river. We plan arrival times to avoid the worst of it. 

Access and parking in Stratford-upon-Avon 

  • Henley Street and parts of the centre are pedestrianised or restricted, so flats and shops are often loaded from a side street or rear yard. We find the loading point at the survey. 
  • The centre runs on a one-way system, so a large vehicle needs a planned route in and out. 
  • Rother Street hosts the Friday market, so a Friday move in the centre needs an early start or another day. 
  • Many central streets have residents’ permit bays or short-stay parking. If you need kerb space kept clear, apply to the council for a parking suspension once you have a date. We will tell you how much room the vehicle needs. 
  • Much of the centre is a conservation area with listed buildings, so we protect door frames, stone steps and old floors there. 

Office and Business Removals in Stratford-upon-Avon 

Business moves in Stratford range from offices, shops and hospitality venues in the centre to units on the industrial estates at Timothy’s Bridge Road and Masons Road. Hotels, restaurants and shops in the centre often need to move outside opening hours, and we can work early, late or in stages to suit. 

We crate and label IT equipment, keep an inventory through the move, and set up desks and furniture at the new site. As a haulage operator, we also handle stock, racking and heavier commercial loads.

Frequently Asked Questions 

How much does a removal in Stratford-upon-Avon cost? 

Each move is quoted on its own: how much you are moving, the access, and any packing or storage. A flat above a shop on Sheep Street with no loading outside takes longer than a house with a drive in Bishopton, so we survey and send a written, itemised quote. Ring 01327 876007 or use the contact form. 

Is it harder to move in central Stratford? 

It can take longer. The one-way system, pedestrian streets, market day and visitor traffic all affect where and when we can load. Book a survey early, and apply for a parking suspension if your street is restricted. 

Can you move a piano out of an old Stratford house? 

Yes, upright or grand. Period houses in the centre often have tight stairwells, low beams and original doorways. We measure the route at the survey and bring the equipment and enough people for it. 

How long does it take you to reach Stratford? 

About 50 minutes from Daventry, via Southam and the A46. For early starts, we leave in good time to clear the traffic around Warwick and Clopton Bridge. 

Do you offer storage for moving in Stratford-upon-Avon? 

Yes. We collect from your Stratford home and keep everything in a container at our Daventry depot until your next property is ready, whether that is a few days or several months. Visits are by appointment on a staffed site. 

Can you move us from Stratford to London or abroad? 

Yes. We move people across the UK and into Europe. Our Road Haulage Association membership and International CPC cover the longer runs as well as local moves.
