Babatunde took on a full packing and moving job out of Barton & Sandhills in Oxford, boxing up and protecting everything from a standing fan and vacuum to cloth drawers and wheeled suitcases. With a helper on board, he spent two hours loading the Ford Transit, then drove nearly six hours to deliver it all into the postcode. The driver's notes flagged a happy customer at the end, all the prep work and careful handling paid off.
George delivered a mixed furniture load into Box Vale over a full day's work. The move came from Burnham Market and included a kingsize bed frame and mattress, a pair of sofas, a dining table, desk, bedside tables, and a rug. With a helper on board, George loaded the Transit at pickup and drove the four-hour-plus route to Colchester, getting everything unloaded and in place by early afternoon. A solid run across a decent distance.
Lifted delivered a long-haul student move from Winton East to Mersea and Pyefleet, with two uni students riding along to help at both ends. The load took two hours, desks, monitors, a walking pad, and mostly soft items packed in carefully. Then seven and a half hours on the motorway in the Transit Custom to get everything into Colchester. The students were there to unload when Lifted pulled in, turning a full day's drive into a smooth handover at the other end.

Local drivers across every neighbourhood
We help with all types of moves across Colchester, from Georgian terraces near the town centre to modern family homes on the outskirts. Whether you’re moving into your first flat, upgrading to a larger house, or downsizing to something more manageable, we can connect you to a local driver who knows the area well. The town has a mix of historic properties within the old Roman walls, Victorian housing in areas like Lexden and New Town, and newer developments around Highwoods and Stanway, and our drivers handle moves across all of them.
We cover house moves, flat moves, furniture deliveries, and property clearances. If you’re a landlord preparing a rental for new tenants, a student moving near the university campus, or a small business moving equipment between premises, we can help you find the right van and driver for the job. From single items like desks and appliances to full house contents, there’s a driver available to suit your needs. Colchester’s mix of students, military families from the garrison, and commuters heading to London means there’s always plenty of people moving in and out of town.
We also cover moves to and from nearby areas including Ipswich, Chelmsford, Basildon, Essex, and Bury St Edmunds. Whether you’re relocating near the High Street, moving closer to Colchester North station, or heading towards the A12, our drivers regularly travel these routes. If you’re moving from Lexden to Wivenhoe, from Mile End to Shrub End, or anywhere else across the town, we can connect you with someone local who knows the roads. The General Hospital, the Tollgate retail park, and the residential areas around Castle Park are all well covered by our drivers.
If your move takes you further afield, that’s not a problem. Our drivers cover the wider Essex region and can help with longer journeys across neighbouring counties too. Whether you’re moving within Colchester or heading somewhere else entirely, we can connect you to a driver who can get the job done. Many drivers are happy to travel into London, up to Ipswich, or across to Cambridge if that’s where your move takes you.
