House Removals in Brierfield

Moving a Brierfield terrace when the main road is the A682

Burnley Road, Colne Road and Manchester Road are one trunk road through the middle of Brierfield, carrying the traffic between Burnley, Nelson and junction 12. A house that fronts it cannot be loaded from the kerb outside for an hour, so the van turns into the nearest side street and the load is walked round the corner. Before the day, look at which street is closest to your back door or gable end and tell us; that one detail sets how long the carry takes.

Off the main road the grid of terraced streets, such as Stanley Street, Hartington Street, Livingstone Street and William Street, is 20 mph and narrow. The van pulls in at the nearest free stretch of kerb, and furniture goes in on the trolley under blankets. Further up towards Marsden Heights, on Coronation Road, Park Drive or Woodville Road, the houses are newer and the van can often wait right outside, so a move up the hill tends to load faster than one out of the old centre.

Before a house move in BB9

• Measure the front door and the turn at the foot of the stairs if you have a large wardrobe or corner sofa, and send the figures with photos
• Beds and flat-pack wardrobes are taken apart and put back together at the new house as part of the price
• If your street has marked bays, apply to Lancashire County Council for a suspension at least 8 working days ahead
• Bank Street, Hollin Bank and Mansfield Crescent are partly one-way, so give us the full address and the van approaches from the right end
• Old furniture you are not keeping can go on Pendle Council's free bulky waste collection, booked online
