The Challenge

What needed to be done

The Harrison family had accumulated 14 years of belongings in their five-bedroom Bolton home. The move included a baby grand piano, a large antique wardrobe, and a full home office setup. The destination property in Chester had a narrow access lane and limited parking, presenting a logistical challenge for a large removal vehicle.

Our Approach

How we delivered it

Daley & Co conducted a detailed pre-move survey six weeks in advance, identifying the piano and antique wardrobe as specialist items requiring custom crating. A smaller shuttle vehicle was arranged to transfer items from the Chester access lane to the main lorry parked on the adjacent road. A team of six was deployed on moving day — four for loading and two dedicated to the Chester delivery and placement.

Key Actions

Pre-move survey with specialist item identification
Custom crating for baby grand piano
Shuttle vehicle arranged for narrow Chester access
Six-person crew deployed for single-day completion
Full reassembly and bed-making on arrival

The Outcome

The result

The move was completed within a single day. The piano and antique wardrobe travelled in purpose-built crates, and the shuttle arrangement meant the main lorry never had to attempt the access lane. Beds were reassembled and made up before the crew left, so the family did not spend their first night unpacking bedding.
