We're local to Cathays
Cathays sits north of Central Cardiff, and we can provide man and van and removals support across Salisbury Road, Woodville Road, Cathays Terrace, Crwys Road, and the residential grids near the university. The area includes student houses, Victorian terraces, maisonettes, and small apartment blocks.
Our services include flat moves, student relocations, shared-house moves, furniture pickups, and part-removals. The roads around Crwys Road, Woodville Road, and Salisbury Road can be extremely busy, with heavy foot traffic and limited loading options. Many streets operate permit parking, making advance planning essential.
Key routes such as North Road, Crwys Road, and Cathays Terrace link the suburb with Roath, Splott, Canton, Penylan, and Grangetown, supporting multi-location moves across Cardiff.
Terraced properties often have narrow front entrances and staircase-only access. Some houses feature rear-lane access which may offer better loading opportunities. Blocks near the university may require coordination for secure entry or lift systems.
We support storage trips, furniture collections, house-share transitions, and multi-suburb relocations. Whether moving within Cathays or across Cardiff, we tailor our man and van and removals service to the area’s compact grid and student-focused housing.
