Removals & Rubbish Removal in Great Barr

Great Barr is one of the busiest parts of north Birmingham for us, partly because of the sheer volume of interwar and postwar semi-detached housing around Aldridge Road, Beacon Hill and the Scott Arms. These properties move well — driveways at the front, side access to the rear, and rooms big enough to get a sofa out without dismantling it. Where the job slows down is the larger detached stock towards Pheasey and Streetly and the flats and maisonettes around Perry Barr, where lift access and permit parking need planning in advance.

Our Great Barr house removals include two trained movers, a Luton van with tail lift, blankets, straps and floor protection, and dismantling and reassembly of beds, wardrobes, tables and flat-pack furniture as standard. A one-bedroom flat starts from £180, a two or three-bedroom semi is typically £280 to £380, and a four-bedroom house £450 to £650. Prices are fixed after a short video or photo survey and cover labour, transport, fuel, insurance and materials.

Traffic is the local variable worth planning around. The A34 Walsall Road and the Scott Arms island are slow at both peaks and become worse on Birmingham City or Aston Villa match days, so we schedule Great Barr moves to load early and be off the main routes before the afternoon build-up. Streets off the Queslett Road with permit restrictions occasionally need a dispensation arranged with the council, which we handle for you.

For anything smaller than a full move we run a man and van service across Great Barr — single items, marketplace pickups, a flat's worth of boxes, student moves to and from the Perry Barr campus area. It is charged by the hour or as a fixed price for a set list of items, whichever comes out cheaper for you.
