HJ Clark & Sons has moved families across Lancashire for five generations, and Preston is one of the areas we know best. Our crews leave the depot in Lytham St Annes and reach the city in around twenty five minutes along the M55, so an early start at our end still means a prompt arrival at yours.
Every Preston property planned differently
Victorian terraces
Plungington, Ashton and Fishergate Hill. Parking is on street, so we shuttle to a larger vehicle nearby and arrange a suspension well before the day.
New build estates
Cottam and Ingol. Tight turning heads and fresh plasterwork, so corner and banister protection goes on before anything moves.
Family semis
Fulwood and Ribbleton. Loft, garage and shed clearances are surveyed and built into the load order.
City apartments
Preston Docks. Service lift booked and bay access confirmed with the building manager in advance.
Included as standard on every move
- ✓Survey of every room, including loft, shed and garage
- ✓Purpose built cartons delivered free before the move
- ✓Heavy duty transit blankets and mattress covers
- ✓Collection of your empty cartons for recycling
- ✓Full or part professional packing if you would rather not
- ✓Kitchen packed on the morning, so life carries on until the last day
A Removal Company In Preston You Can Measure Before You Book
Comparing removal companies in Preston usually means gathering three or four quotes, and the cheapest figure is not always the cheapest move. Put every firm on your shortlist 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 move.
Ask every firm
Who actually turns up on the day?
Our own employed crew, in our own orange and white vehicles. No casual labour hired the day before.
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 storage cover arranged against the valuation you give us.
Michael Clark personally oversees every job, as the family has for more than a hundred years. The full list is in our guide to the nine questions to ask before you book, and we are happy to be measured against every one of them.
Free Survey, Fixed Quote, Our Own Crews
A survey takes twenty to thirty minutes and costs nothing. It is how we work out the right vehicle, the right number of cartons and the right plan for your access and parking, and it is why the written figure we give you afterwards does not move. Book yours whenever your plans firm up, even before contracts are exchanged.
Office Removals Preston
Preston is the commercial heart of this part of Lancashire, and its office moves deserve more than a van and a vague plan. Most 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.
City centre practices
Winckley Square and the surrounding professional offices, where access and parking are booked in advance.
Industrial estates
Red Scar and Roman Way. Larger vehicles, loading bays and phased moves around production.
Preston Docks
Navigation Way offices, moved out of hours so trading is never interrupted.
How a business move runs
- ✓Lockable crates delivered for files and IT equipment
- ✓Everything labelled to a floor plan agreed with you
- ✓Load sequenced so each department comes off in order
- ✓Desks, screens and meeting furniture fully protected
- ✓Confidential material sealed from door to door
- ✓A small suite in a morning, a full building in phases
If your company is moving between Preston and the coast, the same crews handle house and office removals in Blackpool and every town between, so nothing is passed to a third party at either end.
Storage That Keeps A Preston Move On Track
Preston chains break like any others, and a delayed completion date should not mean frantic phone calls to self storage units. When the dates do not line up, your belongings go into our containerised storage near the M55 instead.
Sealed containers
Everything export wrapped and loaded into 250 cubic foot containers, each with its own reference number.
Secure warehouse
Gated site under CCTV, minutes from the motorway between Preston and the coast.
From £10 per week
Short term between completion dates or long term while you decide.
Straight back out
The same containers come back along the M55 and finish the move when your date lands.
Split loads work the same way, which suits downsizing moves where part of a Fulwood semi goes into store and the rest goes on to the new address the same day.

From Our Depot To Every Preston Postcode
Our vehicles are a familiar sight on the M55 between the Fylde coast and Preston, and no part of the city is out of range.
City centre
Avenham, Broadgate and Frenchwood, where terraced streets and permit parking make the survey especially valuable.
North and east
Fulwood, Ashton, Ingol, Cottam and Ribbleton, the busiest house moving territory in the city.
Up the A6
Broughton, Barton and the villages, where farmhouse moves often need our larger vehicles.
Toward the coast
Hutton, Longton and Freckleton, on the road back to our Lytham depot.
South of the Ribble
Bamber Bridge, Walton le Dale, Lostock Hall and Penwortham.
Wherever you are moving from or to, the quote is fixed after the survey and the crew arrives knowing the route, the parking and the plan. Alongside Preston we also cover Poulton le Fylde, Lytham St Annes and Fleetwood.
Frequently Asked Questions About Removals In Preston
Do I need a parking suspension for a move on a terraced street?
On many PR1 and PR2 terraced streets it is the difference between loading outside your door and carrying furniture fifty yards. We advise on this at the survey and help arrange the suspension with the council in good time, so it is one less thing on your list.
How much do removals in Preston cost?
It depends on the size of the property, access at both ends and how much packing you want us to do, which is exactly why we survey before we quote. The survey is free, takes twenty to thirty minutes, and the written figure you receive afterwards is fixed.
How much notice do you need for a Preston move?
Four to six weeks is comfortable, and Fridays, month ends and school holidays fill first. If your completion date lands sooner than that, ring us anyway. We keep room in the diary for short notice moves whenever we can.
Can you move my office over a weekend?
Yes. Most of our Preston office moves run Friday evening to Sunday so trading is not interrupted. We plan the sequence with you in advance and have you working again on Monday morning.
Do you cover Penwortham, Bamber Bridge and Walton le Dale?
Yes. Moves south of the Ribble in PR4 and PR5 are part of the same coverage as the city itself, with the same crews and the same fixed quote after survey.
Can you move me from Preston to another part of the country?
Yes. Long distance moves leave Preston regularly, and our weekly runs make part load moves economical if you are not filling a vehicle. Storage can bridge any gap between properties at either end.
