From Baildon village to the M62: the first miles of a long move
There is no motorway close to Baildon. For the south and west the van goes through Shipley and Bradford to the M606 and the M62; for the north the van can head east towards Leeds and the A1(M). A loaded van takes the hill down to Otley Road gently, so the day starts at 8am, with the heavy furniture strapped low and forward before the van moves.
Capacity is the question to settle early. The load space is 3.4m long, 1.3m between the arches and 1.7m high, which usually takes a flat or a small house in one load. A larger Baildon family home may be too much for one run, and it is far better to know that from photos than on the morning. Keep documents, valuables and medicines with you rather than in the van.
Getting a Baildon home ready for a long-distance run
- Send room-by-room photos, including the loft and garage
- Confirm the key release time and the parking at the far end
- Everything is blanket-wrapped and strapped before it goes anywhere near a motorway
- If you load from a parked street in the village, ask for a space to be kept outside the night before, because an 8am start on Towngate goes faster with the van at the door
- Give the address at the far end early, so the route out of Baildon through Shipley or east towards Leeds is chosen before the day

Long Distance Removals from Baildon: your questions
Does anything else travel with my things?
No. The van carries only your load from Baildon to the new address.
What if it will not all fit?
That is why photos come first. If it is more than one load, you know before booking and can slim it down or book a second run.
Can you collect from my own self-storage unit too?
Yes, a stop at your own self-storage unit can be built into the run and priced in.
Can you leave on a Sunday?
Yes. The van runs seven days a week, so a weekend departure works if the diary has the date free.
Should we take the beds apart ourselves?
You do not have to. Beds and flat-pack you already own are dismantled on the day and rebuilt at the new house, but keeping the screws bagged and taped to each piece saves time at the far end.
