Homes we move in Basildon

Area guide
Moving to or from Basildon: what to know
Basildon was designated a new town after the Second World War, bringing together existing villages such as Laindon, Pitsea and Vange. Much of its housing was built between the 1950s and 1970s using a layout that separates cars and pedestrians, with homes facing footpaths and green spaces and parking in nearby courts.
Today Basildon has a large town centre, the Festival Leisure Park, good schools and stations at Basildon, Laindon and Pitsea on the c2c line. Billericay and Wickford, just to the north, offer a more traditional town feel with larger family homes.
For your Basildon move, tell us about your dates, addresses, items and any access or parking restrictions. We offer free surveys and fixed quotes, with packing and dismantling services available.

Older parts of Laindon and Pitsea pre-date the new town and include more traditional streets and houses, so access can be very different from one part of Basildon to another. A free survey makes sure we plan for your specific property.

Know before you move
Moving challenges in Basildon
Every area has its own quirks. These are considerations to discuss when planning your Basildon move.
Property types
Homes facing footpaths rather than roads mean longer carries from van to door. We plan for this so the time and crew are right.
Weather
Longer carries in wet weather mean wrapping and covering is essential.
Roads and parking
The A127 and A13 are busy at peak times. Parking courts can be tight for larger vans.
Building age
New-town homes from the 1950s to 1970s often have compact stairs and rooms, so large furniture may need dismantling.
Common mistakes on Basildon moves
- × Booking without a survey, then finding the van is too small
- × Not checking parking or permits at both addresses
- × Leaving packing until the night before
- × Moving furniture you plan to throw away
