Removal company in Ely

Britannia Harrison & Rowley has built up detailed knowledge of Ely’s streets, access points, and seasonal conditions over the years that we’ve worked in the town. We know how to plan routes and unloading points to accommodate the narrow lanes and restricted parking in the historic centre, and we understand that many of Ely’s period properties have narrow staircases or limited driveway access. We factor all this into our vehicle choice and crew planning, to make sure your moving day goes as smoothly as possible.

This local knowledge feeds directly into the pre-move survey we carry out before every job. During the survey, we’ll assess the access to your property and what needs to move. We’ll also use the survey to flag anything that needs special handling, such as pianos, antiques, or bulky furniture. This means that your moving day plan is built around your specific property and removals needs, which is what keeps our removals in Ely running to time.

We’ll also assess whether you need any additional services, such as packing. We offer a full packing service, to give you peace of mind that your items will be properly protected during transport. If you prefer to handle the packing yourself, we can also supply a range of materials to help, including different size cartons, sofa and chair covers, piano covers, and mattress bags.

We also offer international removals, making the move from Ely to overseas a seamless transition. From packing to paperwork, we fully manage the entire process to ensure your items arrive safely and on time.

Commercial and office properties also benefit from our business removals in Ely. With the same care and attention we give residential removals, we facilitate a seamless move from one business property to the next, keeping downtime and disruption to a minimum. From shop fittings to equipment, and from marketing materials to paperwork, we pack, transport and unpack your items, allowing you to keep your focus on your business and team.

Is Ely a nice place to live?

Ely is a vibrant city that, like many other locations in the area, combines classic and contemporary. Famously once the home of Oliver Cromwell, Ely is steeped in history and retains its traditional charm despite continual development. With green spaces alongside a hint of city life, it provides a fantastic base for families, professionals and retirees.

With London only an hour or so away, and Cambridge only a 15-minute commute, those working in more congested areas often prefer Ely for the slower, quieter pace of life it brings.

Ely boasts a fantastic range of amenities with independent retailers in abundance. These sit alongside more familiar national and international brands, but certainly shouldn’t be ignored.  Add the wide range of schools, a host of leisure facilities and doctors’ surgeries, and you’ll find everything you need within touching distance.

Things to do in Ely

There is always something to do in Ely and many like to take advantage of the mile of fen waterways that you can discover from Ely. The cathedral is worth a visit any time of year for history and architecture enthusiasts, whilst Cromwell’s former house and its haunted bedroom are open to visitors throughout the year. The Maltings offers you a dose of culture with its theatre and arts space. For those who love to stay fit, a wide range of gyms and leisure facilities are available. Add in the art gallery, lively twice-a-week markets and a variety of pubs, cafes, and restaurants, and Ely caters for all.

Schools and nurseries in Ely

Schools and nurseries in Ely are certainly among the major selling points. A host of nurseries have received the “outstanding” grade from Ofsted, with The Maltings Day Nursery and Busy Bees among them. For children ready for school, St John’s Primary, St Mary’s C of E and Highfield Ely Academy are all popular choices, as is King’s Ely School. It’s one of the oldest in the UK and sits opposite the cathedral, adding an inspiring backdrop to the impressive results the school achieves.

Property in Ely

Property in Ely varies, and it’s easy to find quirky period properties sitting alongside newer developments. Prices vary considerably, with more historic homes fetching £1 million or more. Many properties are spacious, offering plenty of outdoor space and making them a great choice for families.

Transport links in Ely

Ely has connections to larger cities thanks to its train station. London is a little over an hour away, and Cambridge is just a 15-20 minute ride. Frequent local buses make getting around Ely quick and easy, whilst also providing connections to Cambridge, Newmarket and the villages surrounding Ely. The market town is well connected by road.  The A10 links Cambridge and King’s Lyn whilst the A142 connects you to Newmarket and Fenland towns.
