Your Go-To Removal Company in Macclesfield

Macclesfield clings to the edge of the Peak District and the terrain makes itself felt. The town sits on a hillside with the older streets in the centre ranging from around 140 to 153 metres above sea level, and the gradient on Jordangate and the streets running down towards the town centre is significant enough to matter when you’re moving furniture. Properties in the upper town require more carrying effort than a flat town of the same size.

The weavers’ terraces around Paradise Street are some of the most demanding properties to move from or into in the area. These narrow two-up two-down properties were built for the silk weaving industry in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, and the doorways, hallways and stairwells reflect that. Large modern furniture sometimes won’t go in at all, and items that do fit need careful manoeuvring. If you’re planning to bring new furniture with you, it’s worth checking dimensions against the property before you commit.

Parking in the town centre is managed, with Duke Street, Whalley Hayes and Park Green being the main car parks. For residential streets near the centre, on-street parking availability varies. An early start helps considerably in avoiding the school run and town-centre traffic that builds up on Churchill Way from mid-morning.

The situation eases considerably on the newer residential developments to the south and west of the town. Areas like Tytherington and the streets off Broken Cross are built on more accessible ground with modern road layouts, driveways and off-street parking. Moves in these parts of Macclesfield are considerably more straightforward.
