Prettygate is a settled residential suburb in the south-west of Colchester, between Lexden and Shrub End, built mostly in the 1950s and 60s around its local shops. It's a quiet area of family semis, bungalows and tree-lined roads. From a bungalow near the parade to a family semi, we bring the van and team to match.
We run our own vans and movers, and about nine in ten Prettygate jobs are done by our own team. The rest go to partner crews we've trained and worked with for over ten years, never to whoever bids lowest on a booking site. Either way, you deal with us and we stay responsible for the job.

Prettygate is mostly comfortable family housing. There are 1950s and 60s semis and bungalows on tree-lined roads, some newer homes, and the local shops at the heart of it. Most homes have driveways and good access, so loading is usually straightforward.
We cover the whole of Prettygate, from the shopping parade and Baronia Croft to the roads towards Lexden and Shrub End. The driveways and quiet roads usually make loading easy, and we handle longer moves out of Prettygate to London and across the UK at a fixed written price.
Prettygate is a quiet 1950s and 60s suburb, so it's usually a straightforward move with a few things worth planning.
Most Prettygate homes are semis and bungalows with driveways, so the van gets close and the carry stays short.
There are plenty of bungalows in Prettygate, which usually makes for straightforward single-level moves at a steady pace.
The roads are quiet and tree-lined, so we plan around the mature trees and any parked cars for the nearest loading spot.
On the edges towards Lexden and Shrub End the homes get larger, so we bring the right size team for the house.
Full home moves, wrapped, loaded and moved as one job.
A van and a mover by the hour for single items and part loads.
Flats and upper floors, with the stairs and access planned in.
Single items and marketplace pickups brought to your door.
Comparing removal companies in Prettygate? It is worth checking the reviews are recent, the quote is in writing, and the firm runs its own vans rather than passing your job on. We tick all three, and we are glad to be measured against other removal companies in Prettygate.
