Moving Home in Knotty Ash, L14
Knotty Ash still has the feel of a small village along East Prescot Road, with older houses and cottages near the main road and roads of semis and terraces spreading out around Thomas Lane and Springfield Park. Many homes have front gardens and driveways, which helps with loading, but the main road itself is busy, so we plan around it.
Knotty Ash is a straightforward drive out from our Smithdown Road base, via Edge Lane or Queens Drive. We take furniture apart and rebuild it, offer full or partial packing, and can take away unwanted furniture so you only move what you want to keep.
- Unwanted furniture taken away on moving day
- Fully insured while your things are in our care
- Open 7 days, 8am to 9pm

Questions People Ask
Do you cover all of Knotty Ash?
Yes, we cover all of Knotty Ash and the L14 postcode, wherever you are in the area.
That includes the old village along East Prescot Road, the semis and terraces off Thomas Lane and the streets around Springfield Park. We also work in the neighbourhoods right next door, such as Dovecot, Broadgreen, Old Swan, West Derby and Page Moss, so a move from one end of Knotty Ash to the other, or a short hop into the next district, is no problem at all.
Most of the jobs we do here are house moves between family homes, but we also move flats, single items, Marketplace buys and take away unwanted furniture. If you are not sure whether your street is covered, send us your postcode on WhatsApp at 07552 999 177 and we will confirm straight away. You can see every place we work on our areas we cover page. We are open seven days a week from 8am to 9pm, and we usually reply within the hour.
Is East Prescot Road a problem for loading?
East Prescot Road can be tricky for loading because it is a busy main road, but we plan for it before the day so the job runs smoothly.
If you live on the main road, we will look at where the van can safely stop, whether there is a side street or rear access that works better, and how far we will need to carry things. The older houses and cottages near the main road can also have narrower doors and stairs, so we take beds and wardrobes apart where needed. Most of the side streets off Thomas Lane are easier, and many homes there have front gardens and driveways, which makes loading quicker.
Whichever street you are on, let us know your address when you book and we will sort the parking plan for you. If you have a drive, keep it clear on the day, and tell us about any steps, gates or narrow paths. You can include all of this in the quote form or a message through our contact page. To see how a typical moving day works, have a look at our house moves page.
Can you take away old furniture when I move?
Yes, we can take away old furniture when you move, so you only take the things you want to keep to your new home.
Our furniture removal service covers furniture and household items such as sofas, beds, wardrobes, tables, chairs and similar pieces. It is useful if you are downsizing, moving into a furnished home, or simply do not want to carry a worn-out sofa across Liverpool. Please note that we only take furniture and household items, not general household waste, so bags of rubbish, garden waste and building materials will need to go another way.
You can book furniture removal on its own or add it to your move, so we take away what you do not want and move the rest on the same day. To get a price, send a photo of what needs to go on WhatsApp at 07552 999 177, along with your postcode and whether there are stairs. Prices start from £50 and are agreed before you book. For more on what we can and cannot carry, have a look at our terms and conditions.
How far is Knotty Ash from your base?
Knotty Ash is a straightforward drive out from our base on Smithdown Road in L7, via Edge Lane or Queens Drive.
Because the route is so direct, we are in L14 regularly for full house moves, flat moves and smaller jobs like a sofa collection or a Marketplace pickup. That also means we can often fit jobs in at short notice if your plans change or your moving date comes round sooner than expected. Even so, we recommend booking two or more days ahead where you can, so you get the day and time that suits you best.
Being close by helps keep local moves good value. Prices start from £50 and we agree a clear price with you before you book, so there are no surprises on the day. Whether you are moving a few streets to Old Swan or right across the country, we follow the same careful process of wrapping, loading and rebuilding. If you are leaving the area altogether, our long distance removals cover anywhere in the UK, starting from £200.
Do you move flats in Knotty Ash?
Yes, we move flats as well as houses around Knotty Ash, Dovecot and Broadgreen.
Flat moves come with their own challenges, such as shared stairwells, narrow landings, fire doors and lifts that are small or busy. Before the day, we ask which floor you are on and whether there is a lift, so we can plan how long the job will take and bring the right equipment. Large items such as beds and wardrobes can be taken apart to get them down the stairs safely, then rebuilt in your new place so you are not left with a pile of parts.
If you are moving out of a smaller flat, you may not need a full house move, and our flat moves are priced to suit. Students and anyone moving just a single room can also use our student moves service. To get a price, send your postcodes, the floor numbers at both ends and a few photos on WhatsApp at 07552 999 177. We usually reply within the hour and agree a clear price with you before you book, so you know exactly where you stand.
Can you collect a Marketplace buy or single item in Knotty Ash?
Yes, we collect single items and Marketplace buys in L14 and deliver them anywhere in Liverpool or further afield.
It might be a sofa you have found online, a fridge freezer from a seller near Springfield Park, or a wardrobe you are passing on to family in another part of the city. Our Marketplace collections service is set up for exactly this, so you do not need to hire a van or squeeze something into the back of a car. We wrap the item, carry it out, load it securely and bring it into your home at the other end.
To get a price, send us both postcodes and a photo of the item on WhatsApp at 07552 999 177. Tell us if there are stairs at either end and whether the seller can help with carrying, as that affects how we plan the job. Prices start from £50 and we agree the price with you before you book. If it is a piece you already own and simply need moving, our single item delivery page has more detail.
Will you take my furniture apart and put it back together?
Yes, we take apart large furniture for Knotty Ash moves and put it back together at your new home.
Beds, wardrobes, dining tables and other bulky pieces often will not fit through doors or down the stairs in one piece, especially in the older houses and cottages near East Prescot Road. We take them apart carefully, keep all the fixings together so nothing goes missing, wrap each part to protect it and rebuild everything once it is in the right room at the other end. That way you can sleep in your own bed on the first night instead of facing a pile of flat-pack parts.
This is part of the service rather than something you need to arrange separately, but it helps to know in advance so we bring the right tools and allow enough time. When you ask for a quote, mention any large wardrobes, bunk beds, corner sofas or glass-topped tables, and send a photo if you can. It applies to full house moves and smaller jobs alike. If some pieces are not coming with you, our furniture clearance can take them away.
Can you help with packing?
Yes, we can help with packing, with both full and partial packing available for Knotty Ash moves.
With full packing, we pack the whole house for you, from the kitchen cupboards to the wardrobes, so you can get on with sorting out keys, bills and your new address. With partial packing, you do most of it yourself and we take care of the items people find hardest, such as glassware, mirrors, pictures and awkward-shaped pieces. Either way, everything is wrapped and boxed properly so it travels safely and arrives in one piece.
Packing takes time, so let us know you want it when you ask for a quote and we will build it into the plan for the day. Tell us roughly how many rooms you have and what is in them, or send a few photos on WhatsApp. Packing can be added to a house move, a flat removal or a smaller job, and the price is agreed with you before you book. If you are moving on from Knotty Ash to somewhere close by, such as West Derby, we can pack and move you in a single day.
Are my belongings insured during the move?
Yes, your belongings are fully insured while they are in our care, from collection to drop-off.
That cover runs from the moment we pick your things up in Knotty Ash to the moment we put them down at your new home, whether that is a few streets away in Huyton or the other end of the country. Insurance is there as a back-up, but the main aim is to avoid any damage in the first place. We wrap furniture, take apart large pieces that will not fit through doors safely, and load the van carefully so nothing shifts on the road.
You can help by telling us about anything particularly valuable or fragile when you ask for a quote, such as a glass cabinet, a large TV or antique furniture, so we can plan how to handle it. For the full details of what is covered and what we cannot carry, have a look at our terms and conditions. If you have any questions before you book, call us on 0151 272 3467 and we will talk you through it.
How much does a Knotty Ash move cost and how do I get a quote?
Prices for a Knotty Ash move start from £50, long distance moves start from £200, and we agree a clear price with you before you book.
The final price depends on how much you are moving, the distance between the two addresses, whether there are stairs or lifts at either end, and whether you want extras such as packing, furniture taken apart and rebuilt, or old furniture taken away. A single item from Thomas Lane to Dovecot will cost far less than a full family home heading to another city, which is why we price each job on its own details.
The quickest way to get a price is to send photos of what is going and both postcodes on WhatsApp at 07552 999 177. You can also fill in the quote form on this page, which opens WhatsApp ready to send, or call 0151 272 3467. We usually reply within the hour, seven days a week from 8am to 9pm.
