Halfway between London and Edinburgh: long moves from YO51
Being on the old Great North Road means most of a long move is one road. Edinburgh and Newcastle lie north up the A1(M) and A1; London lies south on the same line. Manchester and the North West mean the A1(M) south to the M62, then west across the Pennines. The van sets off from Bradford, 32 miles and 50 to 65 minutes away, and is at your door for an 8am start, so the long leg begins mid-morning.
Space is the limit to plan around: a load floor 3.4 metres deep, 1.3 metres between the wheel arches and 1.7 metres to the roof. That suits a flat, a cottage or part of a house; a full detached home on one of the new estates may need two runs or a bigger firm, and you are told which when you send photos. An upright piano can come with notice. If the run is very long, an overnight stop may be agreed when the price is set.
Getting a Boroughbridge home ready for a long run
- Book well ahead; a long run takes the whole day
- Photograph each room and the loft so the space can be judged
- Ask the seller or landlord at the far end when you can get in
- In a centre cottage, stack boxes by the door to cut the walk to the side street
- Keep passports, medicines and documents in your own bag
