- Volume and weight of what you are moving
- One or two people, and any packing
- Stairs, lifts and where the van can park
- Day and time of the move
Moving around Colchester: the homes
In the 2021 Census the most common home type in the Colchester council area was semi-detached houses (30.8% of households), so drivers there are used to that kind of access. Tell them about stairs, narrow hallways and parking so they can plan the job.
