We are a professional removals company based in Lichfield, providing reliable transport services across Staffordshire and the wider West Midlands. Alongside domestic and commercial moves, we also specialise in the careful handling and delivery of large, high-value items. A recent example of this was our work for A34 Gates and Garage Doors, who trusted us to transport a bespoke Accoya timber gate from Penkridge to a private estate in Solihull.
This was not a routine delivery. The gate had been custom built to exact specifications and formed a key feature of the property’s entrance. As with many estate driveway gates, the size, weight and finish required experienced handling and a well-planned approach from collection through to final placement.
Secure collection from Penkridge
The job began at A34 Gates and Garage Doors’ premises in Penkridge, where our team met with their staff to review the gate and discuss handling requirements. Accoya timber is highly regarded for its longevity and resistance to warping, but its premium finish still demands careful protection during transit.
Before loading, the gate was fully wrapped using heavy-duty protective materials to guard against scratches and impact. We then secured it inside our vehicle using professional restraints, ensuring there was no movement during the journey. Our methodical approach helps reduce risk and ensures valuable items remain in perfect condition.
Planned transport to Solihull
Transporting large gates requires more than simply choosing the fastest route. We carefully planned the journey from Penkridge to Solihull, taking into account road conditions, access restrictions and traffic patterns. Smooth driving and controlled handling were essential to keep the gate stable throughout the trip.
Thanks to our familiarity with the West Midlands road network, the delivery ran on schedule. This allowed the installation team at the Solihull property to proceed without delays, keeping the wider project on track.
Careful delivery at a private estate
On arrival, access to the estate required precision and patience. Our team took extra care when unloading, using appropriate lifting techniques and ensuring nearby surfaces and landscaping were protected. Once the gate was positioned as instructed, it was checked thoroughly to confirm it had arrived in immaculate condition.
The client and installers were pleased with the delivery, noting the professionalism and attention to detail shown throughout the process.
