Moving into Birmingham

Birmingham has a Clean Air Zone. We check how the zone applies to the vehicles on your move and include any charge in your quote, so you never pay extra on the day.

Traffic around the M6 and M42 near Birmingham can be heavy at peak times, so we plan loading to avoid rush hour where possible.

Before moving day, check whether your new street in Birmingham has parking restrictions, and let us know about narrow roads, steps or long carries so we bring the right vehicle.

Leaving London

The ULEZ covers almost all of Greater London, and the Congestion Charge applies in the centre on weekdays. For your Birmingham move, any zone charges are built into the fixed price.

Parking is often the hardest part of a London move. If your street has permit bays or yellow lines, a borough parking suspension keeps space free for the lorry on moving day.

If you are leaving a flat, check with your managing agent about lift bookings, loading bay times and any rules on moving hours.
