Let’s take a look at the marketplace for removal companies in and around Stafford.

Here is a comprehensive list of removal companies in Stafford that operate with vans only.

  • Waters Removals (https://www.waterstransport.co.uk/) is a local family-run business operating large-capacity ‘Maxi Movers’. These Maxi movers have very large capacity ‘box bodies’ and are always overweight when loaded. 15 Minutes from Stafford.
  • M Hall Removals (https://www.mhallremovals.co.uk/) is a long-established local company offering to Stafford clients from their base in Haughton. One of the better movers in Stafford.

Pro’s

Lower business overheads – Van companies operate with lower costs than companies with operator licences, which often means you may receive a ‘man and van’ type quote, sometimes with VAT missing.

Ideal for low-volume, low-weight local jobs – making it the perfect choice for local or regional moves instead of long-haul, full-house relocations.

Con’s

Man and Van-type companies are generally less dependable and more likely to under-resource a move.

Overloading – For more substantial moves involving significant transit times, these companies run the risk of roadside fines for overloading (payload typically ranges from 1 to 1.2 tonnes, which restricts how much can be moved per trip) and penalties of 6 points for their drivers if stopped.

Overloaded van

Increased labour costs – More trips = more time = more hours paid to staff.

More likely to breakdown – Vans are often loaded over their legal limit, which can cause accelerate vehicle wear and mechanical issues.

Companies that market in Stafford but operate in other areas.

Whilst marketing their operations as Stafford-based, these companies operated from centres significantly outside Stafford. Often, associated fuel costs are higher with movers further from your home.
