House Removals in Dewsbury

Short Dewsbury house moves split into planned loads

When the new house is a mile or two away, the van does not have to take everything in one go. Beds, fragile boxes and the kitchen can go first, then furniture and the rest, so nothing is stacked to the roof and the new house fills in a sensible order. Loading and unloading are in the fixed price, and beds are taken apart and rebuilt so the bedrooms are usable that night. A three-bedroom house may need two loads, and a room list tells us before you book.

The two ends decide the time more than the drive. In Savile Town and Batley Carr the van stands at the kerb with cars on both sides, so everything crosses the pavement, and on a cobbled street such as Greenwood Street the trolley goes slower. Up at Earlsheaton or along the Dewsbury Moor hillside there may be steps from the road. On the Chickenley estate the van can normally stop outside, which keeps each carry short.

Getting a Dewsbury house ready for moving day

• Ask a neighbour to keep the kerb outside free on the morning; on a Savile Town or Westtown terrace that space is the loading bay
• If the house is on a slope at Dewsbury Moor, Boothroyd or Earlsheaton, count the steps from the pavement to the door and tell us
• Moving near Market Place on a Wednesday or Saturday? Book an early start, because the van loads from the nearest open street
• Pack boxes at a weight you could carry down your own stairs, and keep keys, chargers and medicines in one bag with you
• For a three-bedroom house or bigger, send a full room list so we can say honestly whether it is one load or two
