Out by the M65 and M6: Blackburn moves across the country
The M65 joins the M6 at junction 29 near Preston, so a move south leaves town by junction 3 at Feniscowles or junction 4 at Lower Darwen. Birmingham is about 111 miles and London about 224, so a London move may be planned over two days in the quote. Moves north take the M6 past Lancaster, and Edinburgh is about 187 miles by the A74(M). The van is loaded once, strapped and blanketed, and stays with the same driver to the door.
A Blackburn house is often a terrace in Audley or Mill Hill with a steep stair, or a semi in Feniscowles with a full garage, and on a long move both are worth planning in detail, as a second trip is a long way to go. Send photos of every room and the loft, so it is clear the load fits one van. The van comes over from Bradford to start, and that drive is in the price too.
Planning a long move out of Blackburn
- Send photos of every room, the loft and the garage, so the load is known to fit one van
- Confirm the key release time at the new home, as a 224-mile drive to London takes most of a day
- Check parking at the far end, including any permit or loading rules
- Keep a first-night box and documents with you rather than in the van
- Book as early as you can; long runs are arranged around the diary

Long Distance Removals in Blackburn: your questions
Can you move us from Blackburn to London?
Yes. It is about 224 miles by the M65, M6 and M1, a long drive, planned over one or two days at the quote, priced as one fixed figure before the day.
Does the same driver go the whole way?
Yes. One driver loads in Blackburn, drives the whole route and unloads at the new home, so your things stay in one van throughout.
How far ahead should I book a long-distance move?
As soon as you know the date. Long runs take a whole day of the diary, so a few weeks' notice gives the best choice.
What if everything does not fit in one van?
That is why photos of every room come first. If it is more than one load, you will know before booking, not on the day.
