International Removals from Kettering
Domestic removals named, ten working days of notice and no bank holiday suspensions
A few short questions. Nothing is sent until you check and confirm.
What does North Northamptonshire charge for a removers' bay?
The council names the job and prices the space. For a move abroad from Kettering, its list of reasons for a suspension includes domestic removals, beside building works, skips, weddings and funerals. “The Suspension fee on the first day, per 5 metre space (one car space) is £25 and £10 per 5 metre space, each additional consecutive day.” Kettering removals get a first-day price and a lower extra-day price, so movers should keep clear of Sundays and bank holidays, when a bay cannot be suspended.
A bay is five metres, so two car spaces for two days cost £25 plus £10 for the first space and the same again for the second, £70 in all. That is our arithmetic from the council's two figures, not a quote.
Changes cost money too: an amendment is £10 per five-metre space where the request comes after the notification period has started, and “Refunds will not be processed for applications beyond the approval stage.” A suspension is for areas where parking restrictions already apply, with signs warning motorists of the dates and reason.
How early must a Kettering suspension be requested?
Ten working days, on the council's own form. “Applications must be written using the appropriate application form and should be received no later than 10 working days before the required start date.”
The council aims to process an application within three working days and asks for payment at least five clear working days before the start. In exceptional circumstances it may accept emergency applications up to five working days before. Saturdays, Sundays and bank holidays do not count as notification days, and the day of submission is not counted either.
One rule matters for weekend moves: “We cannot suspend parking on Sundays and Bank Holidays, unless it is for a Special Event or Utility Works”, for which permissions have been granted. A Sunday move therefore needs a different plan, and the council is the place to ask. The council adds that Northamptonshire Police can suspend areas without warning for public safety.
Corby, Wellingborough and the rest of the council area
North Northamptonshire had 359,525 usual residents at the 2021 census, and the rule applies in Corby, Wellingborough, Rushden and Thrapston as well as Kettering, because one council covers them all.
A move from Northampton, Daventry or Towcester falls under a different council, whose waiver rules are in the Northampton waiver fees. The Lincolnshire Lincoln loading ban show a county charge per length of kerb, Cambridge historic core and bay fees charge per space and day, and the Bedford suspension notice set a flat first-day fee.
