House Removals in Boroughbridge

Closes, cottages and new estates: the three house moves in YO51

On Springfield Road, Southolme Walk, Arrows Crescent or Hereford Way the van backs onto the drive or pulls up across it, and the job is plain sailing: beds and flat-pack wardrobes come apart upstairs, everything leaves through the front door, and it all goes back together at the new address. The cottages along Bridge Street, Fishergate and High Street are another matter. Their doors open onto the pavement of the B6265, so the van waits on New Row, Mill Lane or in the Back Lane car park, and each piece is carried round.

On the new estates, timing matters more than the carry. Aldborough Gate, Harclay Park and Manor Chase on the south side, and Ascot Place and Hockley Croft over the river, are still being finished, and the developer releases keys on the day. Send the plot number, the full postcode and the release time. If the chain stalls, the van can be loaded early and wait for the call before crossing the bridge.

Before the van pulls up at a Boroughbridge house

• Say whether the house has a drive, faces the B6265 or sits on a private road such as Vinery End
• For a cottage in the old centre, name the side street the van should use
• Measure the tightest stair turn in an older house against the biggest wardrobe or bed
• Start after nine to miss school traffic on Wetherby Road and York Road
• Strip the beds and empty the drawers so the frames come apart quickly

Rooms, carry and chain: how a Boroughbridge house move is priced

The number of rooms, the carry from where the van can stand, the stairs in an older cottage and any wait for keys on a new estate set the figure, which is fixed before the day and covers the drive up from Bradford. See how we quote for the full breakdown.
