Frequently Asked Questions
Reading
How do you handle parking permits for moves in Reading’s Controlled Parking Zones (CPZ)?
Reading Borough Council operates a strict virtual permit system across the town's many residential zones. If your new home is in a CPZ, we recommend applying for a Temporary (8-week) Permit or a Discretionary Permit specifically for moving house. For 2026, these digital permits ensure our removal vans are registered on the council's database, preventing fines from Civil Enforcement Officers or camera-monitored "Red Routes" while we load and unload.
Can you navigate the narrow streets of Caversham and the University area?
Definitely. We are very familiar with the tight Victorian terraces in Caversham and the high-density student areas near the University of Reading (Whiteknights). These streets often have heavy on-road parking that makes access difficult for large lorries. To solve this, we typically use our agile 3.5-tonne Luton vans, which can navigate narrow turns like Addington Road or Erleigh Road much more safely than a standard large removal truck.
How do you avoid delays caused by Reading’s traffic "pinch points"?
Reading is known for congestion, particularly at the Caversham and Reading Bridges and Junction 11 of the M4. We plan our move schedules to avoid the worst of the rush hour peaks (typically 8:00–9:30 AM and 4:30–6:00 PM). Our drivers use real-time traffic alerts to divert via the IDR (Inner Distribution Road) or back routes through Tilehurst or Woodley if a major blockage occurs, ensuring your move stays on track.
