Smart Move Removals provide packing services in Preston and the surrounding Lancashire area. Victorian terraces around Plungington, Deepdale and Frenchwood have permit-only parking — we lodge bay-suspension requests with Preston City Council 7–10 working days ahead. City-centre apartments on Fishergate, Friargate and around Winckley Square usually need timed loading windows. Newer estates at Cottam, Ingol, Bartle and Penwortham accommodate full 18-tonne lorries with no shuttle required.
Full-house packing, fragile-only packing and export wrap by trained crews using our own materials. Save time, protect valuables, move with less stress.

About Preston
Lancashire's county city and one of the UK's youngest cities (granted city status in 2002 for the Queen's Golden Jubilee). Home to the University of Central Lancashire (UCLan), the Grade I-listed Harris Museum, Deepdale stadium (Preston North End — the world's first football league champions) and the Brutalist Preston Bus Station. Sat at the crossroads of the M6, M55, M61 and M65, Preston is the natural removals and relocation hub for the whole of central Lancashire.
