Moving House in Formby
Formby is mostly detached and semi-detached houses on quiet, tree-lined roads, with bungalows and some flats closer to the village centre. Bigger homes with gardens and garages usually mean more to move, but driveways make loading a lot easier than on a terraced street in town.
We cover Formby regularly as part of our man and van Liverpool service, working from our base on Smithdown Road. We can pack the house for you, take apart and rebuild beds and wardrobes, handle flat moves near the village centre, and move you locally to Crosby, Ainsdale or Southport, or right across the UK with our long distance removals.
- Full or partial packing for larger family homes
- Fully insured while your things are in our care
- Open 7 days, 8am to 9pm

Questions People Ask
Do you cover all of Formby?
Yes, we cover the whole of Formby and the L37 postcode, wherever you are in the town.
That includes Formby Village and the streets around the station, Freshfield, Kirklake, Victoria Road and the quiet roads out towards the pinewoods and the National Trust red squirrel reserve. We also cover Hightown and Ince Blundell in L38, and we often run between Formby and the rest of the Sefton coast, including Southport and Ainsdale to the north.
Formby is a regular run for us from our base on Smithdown Road in Liverpool, so it is not treated as an out-of-the-way job. Whether you are moving a large family home, a bungalow or a flat near the village centre, or you just need one item collected, the way it works is the same. Send photos of what needs moving and both postcodes on WhatsApp, and we will come back with a clear price agreed before you book. If you are not sure whether we reach a particular village nearby, our areas we cover page lists everywhere we work.
Do you handle larger detached homes in Formby?
Yes, larger detached and semi-detached homes are a big part of what we move in Formby.
Many Formby houses have four or more bedrooms, a garage, a loft and a garden, which usually means more furniture, more boxes and more odds and ends than people expect. We take apart beds, wardrobes and big dining tables, wrap them for the journey and rebuild them at your new place. We also offer full or partial packing, so we can box up the whole house or just the kitchen, glassware, pictures and other fragile things while you handle the rest. Your belongings are fully insured while they are in our care.
The more you tell us up front, the more accurate the price will be, so mention the garage, loft, garden furniture and anything unusually heavy or valuable. Photos of each room on WhatsApp help a lot. Our house removals page explains how a full move works from start to finish, and if you are clearing out before you go, our furniture removal can take unwanted pieces away first.
Can you move me from Formby to elsewhere in the UK?
Yes, we move people from Formby to anywhere in the UK, and we collect within about 100 miles of Liverpool.
Longer moves take a bit more planning than a local job, so we recommend booking at least two days ahead, and further ahead if you have a fixed completion date. We will agree a timing that works at both ends, take apart anything that needs it, load carefully and rebuild furniture once we arrive. Your belongings are fully insured while they are in our care, from the moment we load them in Formby to the moment we unload at your new home.
Our long distance removals start from £200, and the exact price depends on how much you are moving, the distance and access at both addresses. Tell us about stairs, lifts, parking and any large pieces when you get in touch. If you would like us to pack for you as well, just say so. The quickest way to get a price is to send photos and both postcodes on WhatsApp at 07494 947 303, or use our contact page if you would rather call.
Is Formby too far out for a Liverpool man and van?
Not at all, Formby is well inside the area we cover and we are there regularly.
Formby is a drive up the coast road from our base on Smithdown Road in Liverpool L7, and we collect within about 100 miles of Liverpool, so the Sefton coast is very much part of our normal patch. Plenty of our Formby jobs are moves into or out of Liverpool itself, and many are local moves within L37 or along the coast to places like Hightown, Ainsdale and Crosby.
Being a regular run also helps with timing. We can often fit Formby jobs around others nearby, and we are open Monday to Sunday from 8am to 9pm, so early starts, evenings and weekends are possible if you book ahead. Short notice is often possible too. Whatever the size of the job, you will get a clear price agreed before you book. Prices start from £50, which covers smaller jobs such as a single item delivery. Send us photos and both postcodes on WhatsApp and we usually reply within the hour.
Is there room to park the van at Formby homes?
Usually, yes, because most Formby houses have driveways or sit on quiet roads where the van can pull up close to the door.
That makes loading quicker and easier than on a busy terraced street in town, and it helps keep the overall time down on bigger moves. The places that can be trickier are flats and shops near the village centre, where parking is more limited, and some roads where the drive is shared or the gate is narrow. If you have a car on the drive, it helps to move it the night before so we can get right up to the house.
When you ask for a quote, tell us about access at both addresses: drives, gates, steps, long paths and whether you are in a flat with a lift. We will plan where to stop the van before the day so the move keeps going. If you are moving from a flat, our flat moves page covers what to expect. And if anything changes before the day, such as roadworks or a skip outside, just send us a message on WhatsApp and we will adjust the plan.
Can you move me from Formby to Southport, Crosby or Ainsdale?
Yes, we do plenty of short local moves along the Sefton coast, including Formby to Ainsdale, Southport, Hightown and Crosby.
These are usually quick runs, so for smaller homes a local move can often be done in a single day with time to rebuild furniture at the other end. For bigger houses, we will talk through how much there is and whether packing beforehand would help things move faster on the day. We also move people from Formby into Liverpool, and from the coast out to anywhere in the UK.
If you are heading north, our Southport man and van page covers the town and Ainsdale side. If you are moving south towards Crosby, Waterloo or Blundellsands, take a look at our Waterloo page as well. Either way, the price depends on how much you are moving and the access at both addresses, not just the distance. Send photos of what needs moving and both postcodes on WhatsApp, and we will agree a clear price with you before you book. Booking two or more days ahead is best, though short notice is often possible.
Can you collect a single item or Marketplace buy in Formby?
Yes, we collect single items and Marketplace purchases from Formby and deliver them to you, or bring items into Formby from elsewhere.
Typical jobs include sofas, wardrobes, beds, dining sets, garden furniture, fridges and washing machines. Before you pay a seller, it is worth checking the item will fit through your door and up your stairs, and agreeing a collection time with them. Send us both postcodes, a photo of the item and rough measurements if you have them, plus the floor at each end. If the item needs taking apart to get out, tell us so we bring the right tools.
Our Marketplace collection service is set up for exactly this, and we can usually arrange a time that suits both you and the seller. For shop purchases or moving one piece between homes, our single item delivery works the same way. Prices start from £50 and are agreed before you book, so there are no surprises. We are open seven days, 8am to 9pm, and we usually reply on WhatsApp within the hour.
Can you clear out old furniture from the garage or spare room?
Yes, we can clear old furniture and household items from your garage or spare room, but we do not take general waste or garden rubbish.
That includes things like old beds, wardrobes, sofas, tables, chairs, chests of drawers and other household pieces you no longer need. Bags of rubbish, garden waste, soil, rubble and builders’ waste are not part of the service, so please keep those separate. Plenty of Formby customers book a clear-out before a move, because getting rid of unwanted furniture first means less to pack, less to load and more room to work on the day.
Our furniture removal service can be booked on its own or alongside your move. Send photos of everything that needs to go, tell us where it is in the house and whether there are steps, and we will price it up before you book. If you are not sure whether a particular item counts, check our terms and conditions or just ask us on WhatsApp. We are open Monday to Sunday, 8am to 9pm, so weekend clear-outs are fine if you book ahead.
Do you work weekends in Formby?
Yes, we work Monday to Sunday from 8am to 9pm, so weekend and evening moves in Formby are fine if you book ahead.
Weekends tend to be popular, especially at the end of the month when tenancies change and when house sales complete, so the earlier you get in touch, the better your choice of times. We recommend booking at least two days ahead, though short notice is often possible if we have space. Evenings can suit smaller jobs such as a single item or a Marketplace collection after work, while full house moves usually work best with an early start.
Whatever day you choose, the price is agreed with you before you book, and it is the same service: careful loading, furniture taken apart and rebuilt, and your belongings fully insured while they are in our care. If you are moving a bigger home, our house move service page explains how a full day works. To check availability, send your preferred date, both postcodes and photos on WhatsApp at 07494 947 303, or reach us through our contact page. We usually reply within the hour.
How do I get a quote for a Formby move?
The quickest way to get a quote is to send photos of what needs moving plus both postcodes on WhatsApp at 07494 947 303, or call us on 0151 272 3467.
You can also use the quote form on this page, which opens WhatsApp with your details already filled in, so you just add photos and press send. We usually reply within the hour. The more we know, the more accurate the price: tell us the type of property, which floor you are on, whether there is a lift or driveway, any large furniture that needs taking apart and your preferred date. If you want packing, mention which rooms.
Prices start from £50, and long distance moves start from £200, with a clear price agreed before you book. We recommend booking two or more days ahead, though short notice is often possible. If you are not sure which service fits your job, our full list of services covers house and flat moves, single items, Marketplace pickups and more. Moving down the coast instead? Our Crosby page has local details for moves south.
