Moving from Watford to St Albans

St Albans is close enough that a move there is priced like a local one, and a large house can be done in several loads in a day if it needs to be. The difference is at the far end: the streets around the city centre and the cathedral are older, narrower and more tightly parked than most of Watford.

The journey

Distance: about 8 miles
Drive time: 20 to 35 minutes
Usual roads: A405 North Orbital or the A412

Typical figures from central Watford. Traffic decides the day, so we plan the departure around it.

The city centre and the period streets

The Victorian and older houses near the city centre have the narrow hallways and turning stairs that decide how furniture goes in, and parking outside is scarce during the day. Tell us the street at the St Albans end and we will plan the stopping point before the day.

Out towards Marshalswick, Jersey Farm and London Colney the housing is newer and the roads wider, and those moves are closer to a Garston or Leavesden job in how they run.

What it costs

At this distance the move is priced like a local one, on the size of the load and the access at both ends. See our prices page for starting figures, or send both addresses for one fixed price.
