What customers near Preston say
I am so happy with the service I was provided by Muhammad via HelloVans. Muhammad was professional, respectful, friendly and worked relentlessly to make my move as stress-free as possible. Highly recommend.
Forgot to catch their name but they came on time. We’re extremely helpful in getting the items loaded and unloaded. No problems and were good at their job!
Amazing service & helped me out when I needed to move at the last minute. The driver & his colleague were incredible, very professional and very friendly. Will definitely use again.

What our Preston City Centre PR1 crews plan for
What helps on moving day in Preston City Centre, based on our 12 PR1 jobs.
Loading near Fishergate
Fishergate and the streets around the Harris Museum have pedestrian zones, bus stops and short-stay bays. Tell us the exact address and we will find the closest legal spot for loading.
Flats and stairwells
2 of our 12 PR1 jobs had stairs at one end. City-centre flats and older Georgian townhouses around Winckley Square can mean narrow stairs, so mention the floor and any lift.
Best days to book
Across the UK, Saturday is our busiest day (25% of jobs) and Tuesday the quietest (10%). August is the busiest month and January the quietest. Weekdays are better for loading in the centre, with fewer shoppers about.
Student moves and station traffic
UCLan sits at the heart of the centre, so changeover days in summer can be busy. If your move is near the station or campus, ask us about timing before you book.
Crossing to Penwortham
Penwortham is in PR1 but across the Ribble, so moves there use the bridges and busy approach roads. Allow extra time at the start and end of the working day.
