Cheshire Removals & Storage

Cheshire Removals & Storage: family-run removals from Stockport and Wilmslow

Cheshire Removals & Storage is a family-run removals company that has operated in Cheshire since 1994. The business describes itself as running for over 30 years under the Fahey family and works from two depots: a Stockport base on Reddish Road and a Wilmslow office on Sefton Drive. From these locations it serves homes and businesses across Cheshire, Greater Manchester and the wider North West, and also handles moves further afield in the UK and internationally.

The company states that it is a member of the British Association of Removers (BAR) and holds Which? Trusted Trader status. It presents its crews as BAR-accredited and trained to British Association of Removers standards, and indicates that goods-in-transit insurance is included as standard on all moves.

House, business and international moving services

The core activity is house removals, described as careful and insured home moves. The company also carries out commercial moves for offices, factories and IT relocations, with out-of-hours and weekend work available to limit downtime. International removals are offered by road, sea and air freight, with trained international packers said to handle customs, paperwork and delivery.

Around these main services the firm provides professional packing, either added to a move or supplied as materials for a DIY pack, including boxes, tape and wardrobe cartons. Dismantling and reassembly covers beds, wardrobes, home gyms, dining tables and modular sofas; it is included as standard on house moves and can also be booked separately. The company presents itself as handling the whole move with one crew, from packing and loading to transport, unloading, storage and unpacking.

Storage for gaps between completion dates

Storage is designed for situations where moving dates do not align. Belongings are loaded into containers at the old address, kept at what the company describes as a secure Cheshire facility, and delivered to the new home when the customer is ready. This service is presented as a way to bridge the period between leaving one property and being able to move into the next.

How the booking process works

The company outlines a three-step process. Customers first provide basic details such as the size of the move, dates and the origin and destination. A free on-site survey follows, in which the crew walks through the rooms and prepares a fixed quote. On move day the crew packs, loads, transports and unloads. The website states that quotes are returned within 24 hours after a survey, and that enquiries made through the quote form receive a response within two hours. The company also describes its pricing as transparent and fixed.

Coverage across Cheshire and Greater Manchester

From the Stockport and Wilmslow depots, the company lists coverage of towns across Cheshire and Greater Manchester. In Cheshire these include Macclesfield, Wilmslow, Knutsford, Northwich, Nantwich, Crewe and Warrington. In Greater Manchester the listed areas are Manchester, Altrincham, Ashton-under-Lyne, Bramhall, Stockport, Didsbury, Cheadle, Hyde, Sale and Hale. Individual pages for several of these towns refer to local postcode districts, such as SK10 and SK11 for Macclesfield, CW8 and CW9 for Northwich, CW5 for Nantwich and SK7 for Bramhall.

Reputation and customer feedback

The website refers to a Trustpilot rating of 4.8 out of 5 from customer reviews and states that the company has served thousands of Cheshire families and businesses. It also emphasises direct contact with a local team rather than a call centre, and the same crew and point of contact throughout a move.
