Moving in St Albans: Local Logistics
St Albans City & District Council is strict on parking. If you live in a CPZ (Controlled Parking Zone) like Zone B (City Centre) or Zone C, we can arrange the parking bay suspension for you. We typically require 10 days' notice to guarantee the bay is bagged off for our vehicles.
We operate a mixed fleet specifically for St Albans' historic streets. For properties on Fishpool Street or near the Abbey, we use our 'shuttle' Luton vans to ferry items to the main HGV parked safely nearby. This avoids blocking the narrow roads and upsetting with neighbours!
Traffic in the city centre changes drastically depending on the schedule:
-
Wednesdays & Saturdays: The Charter Market on St Peter’s Street brings heavy footfall and road closures. We plan routes to avoid the city centre blockage on these days.
-
School Run: The congestion around the Marlborough and Loreto schools can gridlock the ring road. We typically schedule our arrival times to miss the 8:30 AM and 3:30 PM peaks.
Recent feedback from St Albans removal customers
From start to finish, Richard, Roy, Michael and Brendan have been fantastic! From Richard coming to give us a quote to any queries we had with Roy in the office they were friendly, professional and responsive. The pack up and loading of the van went smoothly. Michael and Brendan arrived in Norwich in good spirits despite the rain. Everything arrived at our new home in the same order it left our home in St Albans. Nothing is too much trouble for these guys. We would recommend this company 110%!! Thanks so much guys.
The Small Removal Company moved my mother (who is now in her 80s) from the large family home she had been in for the last 37 years to a smaller more manageable place. They did a brilliant job, were extremely helpful, empathetic and sensitive to her requirements. I cannot recommend them highly enough. Thank you for making a stressful day, much less so.
I contacted The Small Removal Co as they moved my mother in law about 18 months ago and the service was very good.
They managed to fit me in a short notice with a pack and move service. On the appointed day 3 chaps turned up who were very efficient and cheerful, which takes a lot of the stress out of a quite anxious life event when there's a good atmosphere.
There whole process was painless and professional and the cost is very reasonable. win win.
Thank you for the professional manner in which you have dealt with my move, if only everything in life was as easy!
Can't recommend this company enough!!
Small Removals have moved many of my friends and family over the years, on recommendation from me, and they've moved me at least 2-3 times.
Today, they moved me back home to Tyneside, starting yesterday. Graham and Paul were the best! They went above and beyond to help me get as settled as possible. They were hugely respectful of both houses, and all my possessions. Nothing was too much trouble.
Coming home to Tyneside from Herts has been a long-held dream of mine, and I was lucky to have Small Removals to help me make it happen.
Thank you so much to every single person involved in my move, but especially to Graham and Paul! Hope you arrived home safely!
