Removals in Lanarkshire
TransScot is based in Motherwell and has been moving households and businesses across North and South Lanarkshire from here. The vans start the day in the county, which shows up in the things that actually matter to you — how early we can be there, and how short the notice can be.

Being the local firm
What it means that we are actually from here
Plenty of removal companies list Lanarkshire as an area they cover. Rather less of it is where their vehicles sleep.
The yard is in Motherwell
Not a call centre and not a franchise. The vehicles start the day in Lanarkshire, which is why a Lanarkshire move rarely needs to be booked as far ahead as a city job, and why a short-notice date is sometimes possible when it would not be elsewhere.
Ex-council and new-build estates
A lot of Lanarkshire housing is semis and terraces on estates with decent parking and straightforward doors — which usually makes for a quicker move than a city flat. Where it gets tighter is the newer developments, where roads are narrow, kerbs are high and a large van has to be positioned rather than parked.
Rural and edge-of-town properties
Out towards Lanark and the Clyde Valley the access question changes again: single-track approaches, long driveways, and gates that a Luton will not fit through. Worth mentioning at survey so we bring the right vehicle rather than the biggest one.
Business and industrial premises
Lanarkshire has a lot of small commercial and industrial units, and the query data shows people looking for exactly that. Office and commercial moves are planned around your working week — including evenings and weekends where downtime costs more than the day rate.
Moves into Glasgow and out of the county
A large share of Lanarkshire moves are not local at all — they are into Glasgow, down to England, or up north. Being based here means the collection end is on the doorstep, whatever the destination.
Storage when dates slip
Chains slip, and a completion date moving by a fortnight is common. Secure storage bridges the gap rather than forcing you to take a date that does not work.

A truly exceptional end to end service 😁. George and his team were excellent throughout the removal and delivery 🚚 of my good and chattels, nothing was too much trouble. I also had major delays (over 6 months) in completing my new house purchase. George with absolutely no complaints continued to store all property securely and safely. A truly excellent end to end service 😁
I can't recommend Leda and her team enough to anyone who is looking to move! The team removed my items quickly and efficiently, it was then stored and delivered the other end of the country when I need it to be. The quote was very reasonable (and better than big brand companies)nd the communication throughout has been exceptional. My items have all been delivered safely.
Very quick and efficient at taking things from my flat to storage. Good price They sent photos to confirm it had all gone into storage unit Super easy company to use!

Questions
Asked most often about Lanarkshire moves
Which parts of Lanarkshire do you cover?
Both council areas. In North Lanarkshire that is Motherwell, Wishaw, Bellshill, Airdrie, Coatbridge, Cumbernauld, Bothwell and Uddingston. In South Lanarkshire, Hamilton, East Kilbride, Blantyre, Cambuslang, Rutherglen, Larkhall and Lanark. We are based in Motherwell, so most of the county is a short run.
Do you do office and commercial moves in Lanarkshire?
Yes — offices, small industrial units and business premises. These are usually planned around when you are closed rather than when we are free, so evening and weekend moves are normal rather than an exception.
How quickly can you move me?
Being based in the county helps. Two to three weeks is comfortable, but shorter notice is often possible for a Lanarkshire job in a way it would not be for a move at the other end of the country. Call and ask rather than assuming the date is gone.
Can you move me from Lanarkshire to somewhere else in the UK?
Yes. Long-distance moves out of the county are a regular part of the work — the collection end is local to us, which usually makes the planning simpler and the loading earlier in the day.
Do you charge extra for a rural property?
Not as a surcharge. The access affects the time and sometimes the vehicle, and both are priced in at survey. What matters is telling us about the single-track road or the narrow gate beforehand.
