We recommend arranging your removal company around 4–6 weeks before moving day for the best choice of dates and competitive rates. Larger or specialist moves benefit from booking earlier.

Recommended booking times:

• Peak season (May–September): Book 6–8 weeks ahead, especially for weekends
• End-of-month moves: Book 4–6 weeks in advance to avoid limited slots
• Off-peak (October–April): 3–4 weeks’ notice is usually enough
• Mid-week moves: More flexibility, often available within 2–4 weeks

Booking early allows movers to allocate the right team, equipment, and vehicle for your property. If you need a faster turnaround, submit a quote to check same-week or short-notice availability in Colchester.
