As a leading Brighton removals firm, we recently assisted a client with their relocation from Brighton to Manchester, and our Luton van proved to be the perfect choice for the job. Fully insured with £20,000 Goods in Transit and £5 million Public Liability, backed by Admiral Platinum, 280+ five-star Google reviews, and our eco pledge.
The Challenge
Our client was moving from a two-bedroom house in Brighton to their new home in Manchester. With a substantial amount of furniture, household items, and personal belongings to transport, they needed a reliable Brighton removals service that could handle the job efficiently. Timing was also crucial, as they wanted a same-day move to minimise disruption.
Our Solution
To accommodate the client's needs, we utilised our spacious Luton van, equipped with a tail lift for easy loading and unloading. Our experienced team carefully planned the move, ensuring that everything was packed securely for the long journey. As a trusted name in removals Brighton and Hove, we made sure to provide a stress-free moving experience.
On the morning of the move, we arrived promptly at the client’s Brighton home, ready to get to work. Our team methodically packed and loaded furniture, appliances, and boxes, ensuring each item was properly secured to prevent any movement during transit. Given the size and weight of some of the items, the Luton van’s tail lift proved invaluable, allowing us to safely and efficiently load even the heaviest belongings.
Once everything was in place, we set off on the 250-mile journey to Manchester. We covered about 255 miles in ~4 hours 30 minutes door to door, arriving on schedule for keys and unloading. We provided real-time updates to the client, not only that, they could follow our location on their smartphones for added reassurance. Upon arrival, we carefully unloaded everything, placing items exactly where the client wanted them in their new home. To further ease their transition, we also assisted with assembling key furniture pieces, allowing them to settle in quickly.
Independent reviews note that in the peak, the M6 Toll can save around 40 minutes, while off-peak savings are smaller. - RAC
The Outcome
The move was completed on time and without any issues. The client was extremely pleased with our efficiency, professionalism, and attention to detail. They particularly appreciated the seamless communication throughout the process and our commitment to ensuring their belongings arrived safely.
Why Our Luton Van Was the Perfect Choice
Our Luton van was the ideal vehicle for this long-distance move. With its ample space, we were able to accommodate all the client’s household items in a single trip, saving both time and cost. Additionally, our professional packing and securing techniques ensured that everything arrived in perfect condition. The van’s tail lift made the loading and unloading process smooth and efficient, especially for heavier furniture and appliances. Thanks to these features, we were able to provide a hassle-free move that exceeded the client’s expectations.
Why a Luton for this route
A Luton gives around 18 to 20 cubic metres of space, so a typical two bedroom home fits in one trip and there is less handling and risk. The tail lift makes heavy items like appliances and wardrobes safer to load. The box body keeps everything weatherproof and tightly stacked for stability over more than 250 motorway miles. Fewer runs mean a more cost effective long distance move. If your street has tight height or length limits, we can switch to a Sprinter or use a short shuttle from a nearby loading point.
