What our Reading crews plan for
What makes the difference on moving day in Reading, based on our 80 local jobs.
Stairs and lifts
About 22 in 100 of our Reading jobs have stairs at one end. Newer flats near the station usually have lifts, but older conversions often do not, so tell us the floor when you book.
Best days to book
Across Reading, Saturday is our busiest day (25% of jobs) and Thursday the quietest (6%). July is the peak month and January the calmest, so a Thursday move gives you the most choice.
Permits and terraced streets
Many streets around the town centre, Katesgrove and Redlands are Victorian terraces with residents’ permit parking. Check the local rules and keep a space clear so the van can load close to your door.
The IDR, A33 and the M4
The Inner Distribution Road loops round the town centre, and the A33 links it to junction 11 of the M4. Both get busy at peak times, so mid-morning starts are often easier.
Crossing the Thames
Caversham Bridge and Reading Bridge carry the road traffic over the Thames in town, so moves to or from Caversham can be slow at rush hour. Allow extra time for those journeys.
