Mover carrying a mattress to a removals van on a housing estate in Skelmersdale

The M58 puts Skelmersdale and Ormskirk twenty minutes from our Wigan base. Skelmersdale is estate housing with shared parking courts; Ormskirk adds a large student population around Edge Hill.

Skelmersdale estates and parking courts

Many Skem estates park to the rear in courts, so the van cannot always reach the front door. We check the approach in advance and, where needed, allow for a longer carry rather than discovering it on the day.

Ormskirk student moves

End-of-term moves around Edge Hill are small, fast and best done with one mover at £45 per hour. A single room usually takes an hour or two including the drive.

Longer runs into Liverpool and Preston

Both towns sit between Wigan, Liverpool and Preston, so onward moves in any direction stay inside a day. Longer jobs get a written estimate before booking.
