Harwich CO12 man and van, Old Town to Dovercourt

CO12 takes in Harwich and the neighbouring parts of Dovercourt and Parkeston, so a man and van service in Harwich often handles seaside flats, small family homes and moves linked to the port. People downsizing, couples renting near the station and sellers with a single bulky item can book a van and see the price on screen.

Harwich’s Old Town has narrow streets and Georgian houses close to the quay, while Dovercourt has Victorian terraces by the beach and Parkeston has estates near the port. Our insured movers bring blankets, straps and tools and load with care. The same crews arrange house removals, clearances and packing across Harwich, Manningtree and Colchester.

What customers near Harwich say

Jun 2024

The movers this time were incredibly friendly and helpful! I didn’t dissemble my bedframe which I should have and we ended up dividng the work and they helped me through it!

The service was very professional and joiners were respectful to our asks and listened to all the requests on furniture placement.

SoumyaGarston WD25 · Man with a van
Apr 2025

Driver turned up promptly and gave great advice about loading and tied everything down inside the van. Was a very efficient service and was much less stressful than trying to do it all with just a van by ourselves. Would highly recommend.

    What our Harwich CO12 crews plan for

    Tips for a smooth CO12 moving day.

    Stairs in older homes

    None of our 3 CO12 jobs had stairs at one end, but across Essex about 19 in 100 do. Old Town and Dovercourt houses often have steep stairs, so mention them when booking.

    Best days to book

    Across Essex, Saturday is our busiest day (24% of jobs) and Tuesday the quietest (8%). A Tuesday move around Harwich usually has more start times and easier parking.

    Narrow Old Town streets

    Streets near the quay and Church Street are narrow, with limited parking and one-way sections. Tell us where the front door is so we can plan a short, safe carry from the van.

    The A120 and port traffic

    The A120 is the main road in and out, and port ferry times can add lorries around Parkeston. Avoid arrival times of the big sailings and give yourself a little extra time.
