About Us

Houghton Move is an independent, family run business based in Bishop’s Stortford, Hertfordshire. Established in 2018, we started out as a man with a van and rapidly gained an excellent reputation and grew from there. We now have a small fleet of vehicles and a great team. Alec, our director worked for many years in removals before starting his own venture so has a wealth of experience in the business. 

We offer fully tailored removals, packing and storage for residential and commercial customers. Our small team means we deal personally with our customers and get to understand their exact requirements and strive to make your move as stress free as possible. 

From Bishop’s Stortford to Barnsley or Hertford to Harlow, we go up and down the country or just around the corner. Home removals fully tailored to your requirements with excellent customer service.

The whole process has been pleasant and easy. From the booking to the last box moved. Alec and his team are great. After moving 3 times in 5 years I can definitely say that this has been the easiest move. Prompt email replies, accommodating with date and times. They showed up in time, with a smile and they started working straight away. Very polite, effective and took care of our belongings. A 5 stars experience!

The team who moved us were friendly helpful and hard working. They arrived at 8am and by the time the move was over it was gone 7:30 at night. Despite the long day they always had a smile on their face and the whole job was completed in a great friendly atmosphere. Out of all the things I had to pay for during my move, this was the only thing I felt was great value for money. Thank you for making what was a long and difficult day that bit more easy with your great attitude and work ethic.

Would completely recommend Houghton Move Removals. They were hard working and efficient throughout a complicated multi-site move. Nothing was too much trouble. Their quotation and booking process was clearly signposted and communicated. Hope not to move again too soon… but if we do, we will definitely call Alec and Jasmine
