Long Distance Removals from Hebden Bridge

Out of the Calder Valley first: long moves from Hebden Bridge

The loading takes longer here than on level streets. Steps between the door and the van, a narrow stair inside and a street that fills later in the day all add time, so a long-distance collection is booked for the start of the day. Once the van is loaded it goes straight to the new address, with nothing unloaded at a depot or moved onto another lorry, and an arrival time is agreed rather than a window of days.

The load space is 3.4m long, 1.3m between the wheel arches and 1.7m high, which covers a flat, a cottage or a small terrace. A farmhouse with outbuildings is more than one van, and it is better to hear that at the quote. On a wet week the valley road is worth watching, because it has been closed by flooding before, and we would rather talk about a date early than late.

Planning a long run from Hebden Bridge

• Send photos of everything going, the steps at your door, both addresses and your dates
• Pack and seal boxes before the day and label them by room
• Check parking at the new address, including permits and any loading restrictions
• Collections start at 8am, so the steps and the slow valley miles to Halifax are behind the van before the motorway
• From Heptonstall or Old Town, say where the van can stand, because a loaded van does not turn on a setted street or a farm lane
• Keep documents, medication and valuables with you rather than in the van
