Removals Blackpool
A Family Removal Company in Blackpool for Over a Century
House and office removal company, family run for over 100 years. Free survey, fixed written quote, our own crews and vehicles on the day.
HJ Clark & Sons is one of the longest established removal companies in Blackpool, and still one of the few run by the family whose name is on the vehicles. Five generations on, the way we work has not changed much: we come out and look at the job, we give you a written figure, and the people who turn up on the day are our own employed crew in our own orange and white vehicles. Nothing is subcontracted and nobody is hired the night before.
We cover Blackpool, the whole of Lancashire and Cumbria every day, with weekly runs north and south for longer moves. Whether you are moving a one bedroom flat in South Shore, a family home in Bispham or a whole office floor in the town centre, the planning starts the same way: a free survey and a plan written around your property, your access and your dates.

House Removals Blackpool
Planned Around Your Property – Call 01253 691 481
Blackpool housing is more varied than most towns, and that changes how a move is planned. The survey is where we work this out, so there are no surprises at eight o’clock on the morning.
Terraces and town houses
South Shore, Layton and Revoe. On street parking means we arrange a suspension or shuttle to a larger vehicle parked nearby, well before the day.
Semis and family homes
Bispham, Marton and Stanley Park. Lofts, garages and sheds are surveyed and built into the load order rather than discovered at the end.
Flats and apartments
North Shore and the Promenade. Lift bookings, stair carries and bay access are confirmed with the building manager in advance.
Bungalows and downsizing
Anchorsholme and Norbreck. Split loads are common here, with part of the home going into store and the rest on to the new address the same day.
Included as standard on every house move
- ✓Survey of every room, including loft, shed and garage
- ✓Purpose built cartons delivered free and collected afterwards for recycling
- ✓Heavy duty transit blankets on every piece of furniture, mattress covers on every bed
- ✓Garment carriers so hanging clothes travel on the hanger
- ✓Full or part packing if you would rather not do it yourself, including glassware and china
- ✓Furniture dismantled and reassembled where it will not fit through a door in one piece
If you want to know what the day itself looks like, from the crew arriving to the last box coming off, read our hour by hour guide to what happens on moving day.
Comparing Removal Companies in Blackpool? Four Things to Check
Most people gather three or four quotes from removal companies in Blackpool before they book. The cheapest figure on paper is not always the cheapest move, so put every firm on your list through the same four tests.
Ask every firm
Will you survey before you quote?
Ours takes twenty to thirty minutes, costs nothing, and the written figure afterwards does not change unless the job does.
Ask every firm
Who actually turns up on the day?
Our own employed crew, in our own vehicles. No casual labour and no van hired in the week.
Ask every firm
Do you subcontract any of it?
Never. If a job is beyond us we say so rather than passing it down a chain.
Ask every firm
What does the insurance cover?
Comprehensive cover in transit, with separate cover for goods in storage arranged against the valuation you give us.
There are more questions worth asking, and we have put the full list in our guide to the nine questions to ask a removal company before you book. We are happy to be measured against every one of them.
Free, Written, No Obligation Quotes
Every quote is free, written and without obligation. If your dates are not certain yet, book the survey anyway; it holds no commitment and it gives you a figure to plan around.
Office Removals Blackpool
Most business moves we handle in Blackpool run over a weekend or outside trading hours, so you close on Friday evening and open on Monday morning with the phones working and the files where people expect them.
How a business move runs
- ✓Premises surveyed in detail before we quote
- ✓Lockable file and IT crates delivered in advance
- ✓Everything labelled to a floor plan agreed with you
- ✓Load sequenced so each department comes off in order
- ✓A small suite in a morning, a full building in phases
- ✓Night and weekend teams so staff carry on undisturbed
We move businesses in the town centre, on Whitehills and Squires Gate, and across the Fylde coast, and the same crews handle house and office removals in Preston when a company is moving between the city and the coast.
Cheap Removal Companies in Blackpool: What a Fair Price Looks Like
Plenty of people searching for cheap removal companies in Blackpool have been quoted a low figure over the phone and then paid more on the day. We price differently. The survey tells us the vehicle, the crew, the cartons and the time the job needs, and the quote we write afterwards is the figure you pay.
That is usually cheaper than a “cheap” quote once the extras are added, and it is always cheaper than a second trip because the first van was too small.
| What moves the price | What we do about it |
|---|---|
| Access and parking | Checked at the survey. Suspensions, shuttles and lift bookings are planned in, not charged as surprises. |
| Packing | Pack yourself with our free cartons, or have us pack some or all of it. Both options are priced in writing before you choose. |
| Storage between dates | If completion dates do not line up, goods go into our containers from £10 a week instead of a second removal. |
| Distance | Local moves are priced on the job. Long distance moves can join our weekly north and south runs, which keeps part loads economical. |

Secure Storage in Blackpool When the Dates Do Not Line Up
A broken chain or a delayed completion does not have to mean a frantic search for a self storage unit. Our crew wraps and inventories your goods once, seals them into containers in our own gated, CCTV covered warehouse minutes from the M55, and brings them back out when your new date lands. If you are weighing up the options, our guide to containerised storage compared with self storage sets out the difference in cost, security and effort.
Removals Across the Fylde Coast and Lancashire
Our vehicles leave the depot in Lytham St Annes every morning, so the coast and the city are both a short run away. As well as Blackpool itself we handle removals in Fleetwood, house moves in Lytham St Annes, removals in Poulton le Fylde, Cleveleys, Thornton, Kirkham and Preston, with daily coverage of the rest of Lancashire and Cumbria and regular runs north and south for longer distances.
Removals Blackpool: Frequently Asked Questions
How do I get a removals quote in Blackpool?
Call 01253 691 481 or request a quote online and we will arrange a free survey at your home or premises. It takes twenty to thirty minutes, and you will have a fixed written quote shortly afterwards. There is no charge and no obligation.
Why are some removal companies in Blackpool so much cheaper?
A low phone quote usually means no survey, a van that may be too small, and extras added on the day for stairs, parking or packing. Our price is fixed after a survey, so what we write is what you pay. Over the whole move it is normally the lower figure.
How much notice do you need?
Four to six weeks is ideal, as it gives us time to survey, deliver cartons and hold your preferred date, which matters on Fridays and at month end. We regularly fit in moves at shorter notice, so call us even if your date is close.
Do you offer free quotes?
Yes. Every quote is free and without obligation, and it follows a survey rather than a guess over the phone, so the figure is accurate.
Can you dismantle and reassemble furniture?
Yes. Beds, wardrobes and large dining tables are routinely taken apart to leave a property and put back together at the new one, by the same crew on the same day.
Can you handle both small and large removals?
Yes. We move single rooms and one bedroom flats as readily as five bedroom houses and full office floors. The survey sizes the vehicle and crew to the job.
Will you plan the whole move for me?
From the first call to the last item placed in your new home. Survey, cartons, packing if you want it, loading, transport, unloading and reassembly are all handled by us, and Michael Clark oversees every job personally.
Can you move me out of Blackpool to another town?
Yes. We move people across Lancashire and Cumbria every day, including Preston, Lytham St Annes, Fleetwood and Poulton le Fylde, and our weekly runs north and south cover longer distances.
