From a transit van to a fleet of 50 vehicles and a workforce of 50. Richard now has an advisory and guiding role, he still covers most of the local pre-move surveys and he really enjoys being in the office and 'closing deals'. As a younger man Matt used his removals experience to work while travelling, mainly in Australia and NZ. Matt has performed removals in Buckingham Palace, Windsor Castle and dozens of other high-profile properties.

Lifting heavy or valuable items is a job for the professionals. But if you're looking to keep your costs down, our man with a van service gives you the best of both worlds. Sometimes you want to do your removals yourself, with the help of a few friends - which is a great way of keeping your costs down. But some of your bigger, more valuable items need professionally lifting, and that's where our man with a van service comes in. It's actually a van and two men! You can hire them on an hourly rate, which depends on the size of van you need.

If you're moving abroad, then it will take a little more planning than a domestic move. But you can rest assured, our experience in European removals mean you can focus on your new life.

With a comprehensive list of European removals services, including export wrapping and European removals insurance, Ballards goes that bit further to make sure your move is a great success.

Whether you're moving house, renovating or moving out for a short while, there are times when you need furniture storage away from home.

Everything is then inventoried, and transported to our purpose-built, modern warehouse at Markham Moor, next to the A1 near Retford and Newark.
