Allotts Removals was established in 1908, trading from Hyde where even today we have an operating centre. When the company started it used horse drawn vehicles that were used on removals and cartage work from local factories. Around 1935 motor vehicles made an appearance, although the horses remained until much later. During the war, there was a need to take furniture into store and ALLOTTS had at their disposal an old church building, which was used as an office and depository.
Container Storage: Before leaving our depot to come to your home, our staff will load storage containers by forklift truck onto our purpose built removal vehicles through side opening doors. Goods brought in loose on our vehicle and then put into storage containers. When we arrive at your home to commence loading, an inventory will be taken of everything to be stored. All items will be carefully wrapped in woolen blankets whilst being loaded into the containers. Once the containers are loaded, the container numbers will be entered onto the inventory sheet and a copy will be given to the customer.
Within our quotation, we can incorporate services such as packing of glass/china, pictures, other fragile items, or a full packing service incuding books, linens, etc. We can also arrange antiques and furniture which requires and deserves extra protection in transit. If you prefer to carry out your own packing, we can supply all the materials you require, double walled cartons, plain white paper, bubble wrap, tape, etc.
