Ely is one of England's smallest cities and one of its most distinctive to move in. The medieval street layout around the Cathedral and Cathedral Close creates access challenges that simply don't exist in newer towns. Streets such as The Gallery, Back Hill and the lanes off Market Street are narrow, sometimes cobbled, and inaccessible to larger vehicles without advance planning. At the same time, the newer developments on the edges of the city and the properties spread across the flat surrounding Fenland bring their own set of access and routing considerations.

Simple Removals covers all CB6 postcodes including CB6 1, CB6 2 and CB6 3, as well as the fenland villages across the wider East Cambridgeshire area. We handle moves within Ely, relocations to Cambridge, Huntingdon and Peterborough, and longer-distance removals across the Midlands and East Anglia. Every job is planned around the specific property, street access and postcode involved. Moving doesn't need to be complicated.

Removals Services We Offer

We handle house moves, flat moves, commercial relocations, and overseas moves across Ely. Each job is planned around the specific property and postcode.

House Removals Ely

Properties close to Ely Cathedral and the historic city centre sit in some of the most access-restricted streets in Cambridgeshire. Cathedral Close has vehicle prohibitions for non-residents, The Gallery has width restrictions, and the lanes off the Market Place have limited or no stopping space for removal vehicles. We assess every city centre move in advance, confirm the correct vehicle size and agree a loading position before move day so there are no surprises. For newer residential streets on the edges of the city, access is generally more straightforward, but estate road constraints and shared drives still apply in recent developments toward Ely North.

Office and Commercial Removals

Ely's Market Place and the streets adjacent to it have vehicle access restrictions on Thursday and Saturday market days. For commercial moves in or near the market area we schedule around those windows. For businesses in retail units, offices or light industrial premises elsewhere in the city we plan the loading sequence and route in advance. Out-of-hours and weekend commercial moves are available on request. See our Commercial Removals page for more.

Packing Services

We offer a full packing service for Ely moves. For properties in the historic city centre where access time is limited by road restrictions, having us pack the day before your move means the vehicle loading window on move day is used entirely for carrying rather than wrapping. We cover fragile items, large furniture, wardrobe boxes and kitchen equipment. Full details are on our Packing Services page.

Long Distance Moves from Ely

Ely sits at a key rail and road junction with the A10 running south to Cambridge and north toward the A14, and the A142 connecting east toward Newmarket and west toward Huntingdon. We cover long-distance moves from CB6 with full insurance and a fixed quoted price. No mileage surcharges are added on move day.

End of Tenancy Cleaning Ely

Moving out of a rental property in CB6? We offer end of tenancy cleaning alongside your removal, so you can return the keys without arranging a separate contractor. Whether it's a rented terrace near the city centre, a flat off the High Street or a newer-build rental in one of the surrounding villages, our cleaning service covers the full property to letting agency standard. Book it as a combined package with your removal or as a standalone service. Full details are on our End of Tenancy Cleaning page.

How Much Do Removals in Ely Cost?

Removal costs depend on the volume of items, property size, number of floors, access type and distance. Moves from properties in the historic city centre near the Cathedral may require a smaller lead vehicle for the final approach, which is factored into the quote at no extra cost. Rural fenland properties with long lane approaches or no off-street parking are also assessed at the quote stage so the price you receive covers the full job.

We price every move on its specifics. The figure you receive is the figure you pay.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Yes. We cover all CB6 postcode sectors including CB6 1, CB6 2 and CB6 3, as well as the fenland villages across the wider East Cambridgeshire area. That includes the historic city centre, Cathedral Close, Ely North, Littleport and the villages along the A10 corridor. If you're unsure whether your address is covered, call 07346 762283 or use our online quote form.

Yes. Cathedral Close has vehicle prohibitions for non-residents and some of the adjacent streets, including The Gallery and Back Hill, have width restrictions that rule out standard-size removal lorries. We assess access for every city centre move before confirming your vehicle type and loading position. In some cases we use a smaller vehicle or a relay approach from a permitted stopping point nearby. This is built into your quote with no extra charge. Request a quote and include your full postcode so we can assess access.

Parking suspensions in Ely are managed by East Cambridgeshire District Council in conjunction with Cambridgeshire County Council highways. You will typically need to apply at least five to ten working days before your move date. The application covers the specific bays or stretch of road you need cleared for the removal vehicle. We can advise on the right request once we have confirmed your property address and vehicle size.

Yes. We cover rural and village moves across the CB6 and CB7 postcode areas, including Soham, Littleport, Sutton, Haddenham, Stretham, Queen Adelaide and the smaller fen villages. Rural properties often involve narrow lane approaches or no roadside stopping space. We factor that into the vehicle choice and loading plan at the quote stage, with no additional charge for rural access. Get a quote and include your full address.

Yes. Our full packing service covers fragile items, large furniture, wardrobe boxes and kitchen equipment. For city centre Ely moves where the vehicle loading window is tight due to access restrictions, packing the day before can make the move significantly faster. Let us know when you request a quote and we'll include it in the price.

Yes. We accept Klarna and Clearpay, which let you spread the cost of your move. Standard card payment and bank transfer are also accepted. Payment options are confirmed at the time of booking. Contact us if you have a question about a specific payment arrangement before you book.

Yes. Ely has good access to the A10 south toward Cambridge and north toward the A14, with the A142 connecting west toward Huntingdon and east toward Newmarket. We cover long-distance moves from CB6 with full insurance and a fixed quoted price. No mileage surcharges are added on move day.

We recommend booking as early as possible once your completion or tenancy end date is confirmed. End-of-month dates fill quickly across our full coverage area. For city centre Ely moves that require access assessment, earlier booking also gives us more time to confirm the vehicle approach and any parking arrangements. Call 07346 762283 or request a quote online and we'll confirm availability for your date.
