Which motorway first: planning a long move out of Chorley
Heading south to the Midlands, London or the south coast, the van can join the M6 at junction 27 by the B5251 and A49 rather than going round Manchester. For Lancaster, Cumbria and Scotland it takes the M61 north to where it ends at junction 30 of the M6, about 31 miles to Lancaster. Yorkshire and the north-east are reached the way the van arrives from Bradford, east across the Pennines by the M62, and Liverpool is about 29 miles by the M58.
If a run is too long for one day's driving, it can be done over two days, provided that is part of the quote. One van fits a flat, a smaller house or a single room's furniture, and a three-bedroom house on Buckshaw Village with a packed garage may need two trips, which your photos settle before booking. Strong stacking cartons travel best, and passports, keys and medicines are safest with you.
Before a long run leaves Chorley
- Check with whoever hands over the new keys what time they are released and where a long van can pull up
- On a terraced street, ask neighbours to keep a space outside free on the morning
- Write the destination room on each carton, not the room it came from
- Defrost the freezer and drain the washing machine the day before

Long Distance Removals from Chorley: your questions
Will my furniture be transferred to a different vehicle partway?
No. The van loaded outside your Chorley home is the one unloaded at your new address, with no depot stop or swap.
How far ahead should a long move from Chorley be booked?
A week or more is ideal. Shorter notice can work when the diary has a gap, so get in touch with both postcodes and the days you could move.
Can you move us from Chorley to Scotland?
Yes, by arrangement. The van heads north on the M61 and M6, and a journey that long can be spread over two days.
Is the load insured on a long run from Chorley?
Yes. Goods in transit cover runs to £10,000 and public liability to £5 million for the whole journey, from your Chorley door to the new one.
