For removals Raunds, Alltime Removals & Storage is MoveAssured-approved, rated 4.8 stars on Reallymoving, and has been handling moves across Northamptonshire and Bedfordshire since 2002. From the Victorian terraces off High Street where parking suspensions are the norm, to the wider estate roads at Brickhill and Windmill where school-run timing shapes the schedule, every Raunds job starts with an adviser visit to both addresses before a price is given.
What Should You Know Before Booking Removals in Raunds?
Raunds sits in north Northamptonshire, roughly 10 miles from Wellingborough and 8 miles from Thrapston. It is a working market town with a mix of Victorian terraces in the centre and newer developer estates on the edges. That variety matters when planning a move, because the van size, crew size, and timing all change depending on which part of town you are leaving or arriving at.
A few things worth knowing before you book:
Survey first, price second. Alltime’s advisers take a detailed inventory of every room, loft, garage, and garden before quoting. This means the price you are given reflects your actual job, not a generic box count. Jobs are planned to fit a typical 8 to 10 hour day.
One-stop service. Packing, furniture dismantling, materials supply, removals, and storage all sit under one roof at the Houghton Regis depot. You do not have to manage three separate contractors.
Why Choose Alltime for House Removals in Raunds?
Alltime Removals has been handling moves across north Northamptonshire and Bedfordshire since 2002, built on repeat customers and recommendations rather than advertising spend. The accreditations back that up: MoveAssured approved, Association of Independent Movers (AIM) member, and RHA member. These are the industry checks that confirm insurance, complaints processes, and crew professionalism meet a recognised standard. On Reallymoving, the rating sits at 4.8 stars from verified customers.
For house removals Raunds, the model is survey-led throughout. An adviser visits both addresses, walks every room, notes access constraints on your specific street, and produces a written, fixed price, not an estimate that drifts on moving day.
As a removal company Raunds families and businesses have used since 2002, we plan around what the job actually involves, not what a booking form assumes.
How Do Removals Work on Raunds’ Newer Estates Versus Older Terrace Streets?
The practical answer is: differently, and it is worth thinking through both before moving day.
Older terraces near High Street and the town centre
Raunds’ original streets are tight. Properties off High Street and the roads surrounding the town centre were built before vehicles were a consideration. Parking is on-street, driveways are rare, and the gap between parked cars can be tight for a 7.5-tonne removal vehicle. Our crew assesses access at the survey stage and, where needed, we plan a smaller lead vehicle or a loading sequence that reduces trips between van and front door. If you are on a particularly restricted street, letting neighbours know in advance and, where North Northamptonshire Council requires it, applying for a parking suspension, avoids most problems.
Newer estates — Brickhill, Windmill, and similar developments
Estate roads are generally wider and newer properties tend to have driveways or allocated parking. The trade-off is that estate layouts can be winding, and on busy school-run mornings the roads around Raunds Academy and the primary schools back up. If your move falls on a weekday, starting early at around 8am lets the van get in and out before the morning peak. Our advisers flag this when they visit.

Where Can the Removals Van Park Near Raunds High Street, Schools and Tighter Roads?
Parking for a removal van in a town centre needs sorting before moving day, not on it. Here is the practical picture for Raunds:
Check the street outside your property. Is it permit-controlled, double yellow, or unrestricted? If there are yellow lines directly outside the door, you will need a temporary suspension from North Northamptonshire Council. Apply at least two weeks ahead.
Talk to neighbours. A polite note asking neighbours to leave the space clear on moving day costs nothing and prevents most kerbside disputes.
Use the survey to plan the route. Our adviser will walk the access route at the property visit. If the van cannot reach the front door directly, we plan a shuttle or a smaller vehicle for the first phase.
Schools and school-run roads. If your route to the A45 takes you past Raunds Ferrers School or nearby primaries, avoid 8.30am to 9am and 3pm to 3.30pm where possible. Our team builds this into the day’s schedule.
Commercial High Street. Loading bay access on High Street changes through the day. Check with North Northamptonshire Council if you are moving from a flat or business premises on the main shopping street itself.
How Do A45 and A6 Routes Affect Move Times from Raunds?
Raunds is served primarily by the A45, which runs east-west and connects the town to Wellingborough to the west and Thrapston to the east. From Thrapston, the A14 gives access to Kettering and Cambridge. The A6 is accessible via Wellingborough or Rushden and gives a north-south option toward Bedford and the M1.
Route
Destination
Typical off-peak time from Raunds
A45 west
Wellingborough, Bedford, M1
45 to 55 minutes to Alltime depot
A45 east to A14
Kettering, Northampton, East Midlands
25 to 35 minutes to A14 junction
A45 / A6 south
Rushden, Bedford corridor
40 to 50 minutes
A6 north
Higham Ferrers, Kettering via A6
20 to 30 minutes
For removals Raunds to Wellingborough, allow extra time if moving during the morning peak (7.30am to 9am). The A45 through Wellingborough is one of the busier sections of dual carriageway in the county and roadworks near the bypass are frequent. For removals Raunds to Kettering, the A45 east to A14 north is consistent outside peak hours.
For longer moves to Luton, Milton Keynes, or London, we plan the day so the van is loaded and away from Raunds before the M1 commuter peak builds at Junction 15.

Do You Offer Packing and Storage for Moves in and Around Raunds?
Yes. Alltime handles packing services and storage solutions in-house, so you are not coordinating between separate contractors on moving day.
Packing service Raunds runs across three tiers. A breakables-only pack covers glassware, crockery, and fragile items. A partial pack extends to any room or category you choose. A full pack covers every room, including loft and garage where accessible, with box disposal at the new address once you have unpacked. Packing materials — book boxes, tea chests, bubble wrap, packing paper, and tape — are also available to buy separately if you prefer to self-pack.
Storage near Raunds: Alltime’s Houghton Regis depot runs individually alarmed units with 24-hour, seven-days-a-week access. Units are priced by cubic feet and available on short or long-term rental with no minimum contract pressure. If your Raunds moving dates do not align, we can take your belongings directly into storage and deliver them to the new address when you are ready.
For home removals across the Raunds and Nene Valley corridor, the same survey-led process applies whether you are moving locally or further afield. Office removals Raunds businesses need between premises follow the same approach: a survey, a fixed quote, and a crew matched to the job.
Areas We Cover Near Raunds
Alltime Removals covers Raunds and the surrounding north Northamptonshire corridor. Common move corridors we handle regularly include:
Wellingborough — the main A45 route west, roughly 10 miles
Rushden and Rushden Lakes — south of Raunds via the A6, including family moves near Rushden Lakes
Higham Ferrers — the neighbouring market town, under 3 miles
Irthlingborough — immediately south across the Nene Valley
Thrapston — east along the A45, gateway to the A14
Kettering — north via the A6, the area’s largest town
Stanwick and Stanwick Lakes — removals near Stanwick Lakes and the surrounding villages are covered as part of our Raunds and Irthlingborough service area
Yes. Alltime Removals covers house removals Raunds and the wider north Northamptonshire area, handling local moves within the town, removals Raunds to Wellingborough, removals Raunds to Kettering, and longer-distance relocations to Bedfordshire, Hertfordshire, Buckinghamshire, and beyond. For customers comparing man and van Raunds options, the key difference with Alltime is that every job is survey-led: you get a fixed written price, a sized vehicle, and a trained crew – not an hourly rate with an open-ended finish time. For house removals Raunds and office removals Raunds businesses, the process is identical – a free survey, then a written quote covering IT, files, access logistics, and crew size.
Every job is different, which is why we do not publish fixed prices. Cost depends on property size, volume of belongings, access conditions at both addresses, packing requirements, and distance covered. Our adviser will visit, take a full inventory, and provide a written quote. There are no hidden additions on moving day.
Yes. Alltime offers flexible packing – from fragile and precious items only, right up to a full pack and unpack with box disposal at the other end. Packing materials (boxes, tape, bubble wrap, packing paper) are also available to purchase separately if you prefer to pack yourself. Ask about packing options when you book your survey.
Yes. Storage is handled in-house at the Dunstable depot. Units are individually alarmed and accessible 24 hours a day, seven days a week, on short or long-term rental. There is no need to book a separate storage company – everything moves through Alltime.
