Thorpe Park to a Ninelands cul-de-sac

The collection points around here are good ones. Thorpe Park at Colton, Lotherton Business Park on Lotherton Way, New Hold Industrial Estate and Cherry Trade Park all have yards and goods doors, with Junctions 46 and 47 of the M1 linking them. What none of them has is much patience with a car boot, which is why people ring a van in the first place. Watch the height barriers on some of the retail car parks - a Transit LWB will not clear all of them.

Main Street is the town's shopping spine and its only real through route, with bus stops, loading restrictions and constant kerbside activity, so there is rarely room to hold a long van outside a flat above a shop. The commuter estates are their own puzzle: narrow closes off Ninelands Lane and Barley Hill Road, small turning heads and driveways taking up most of the frontage. We reverse in once, unload properly, and get back out rather than shuffling about.

What Garforth furniture & large item transport usually involves

The Main Street car park and the station car park are free but full of commuters from early on weekdays, so we do not plan a delivery around finding a space in either
Junctions 46 and 47 of the M1 and the A63 through town congest hard at peak, which makes mid-morning and early-afternoon slots more reliable than rush-hour ones
The older brick terraces and former miners' cottages in Church Garforth have one front door and a tight staircase, so assembled furniture needs measuring at the turn before it is bought
Downsizing from a 1960s or 1970s estate house into an apartment at the Lidgett Lane end is usually two or three big pieces - a normal job for one van and one driver
The item you are replacing can be moved to another room, the garage or on to family, or carried out and taken away with us on the same visit

What it costs

A Garforth delivery is priced on the size of the item, the access at the door and the time the job takes, with the run from Bradford included rather than added on. There's no travel surcharge for coming to Garforth from Bradford, and you get the price before we set off, not after. See how we quote for the full breakdown.

Frequently asked questions: furniture & large item transport in Garforth

Can you collect from Thorpe Park and deliver to Garforth the same day?

Very often. It is a short run down the A63 and those units load quickly with an order number and a collection slot. Book a morning pickup where you can, because Junctions 46 and 47 and the A63 through town are slow at rush hour.

Will you get a van down my close off Ninelands Lane?

Usually, with a bit of care. Those closes are narrow with small turning heads and cars parked both sides, so we reverse in once, unload, and go. If it is genuinely too tight we stop at the mouth of the close and trolley the item in rather than blocking your neighbours.

Do you help carry furniture into a Lidgett Lane apartment?

Yes, right into the room it is going in. Loading and unloading are included, and a second pair of hands is available for the heavy pieces. If the block has a lift or a controlled entrance, let us know when you book so we can allow time for it.
