Long Distance Removals from Heckmondwike

From Chain Bar onto the motorway: moving a long way from Heckmondwike

Junction 26 at Chain Bar is only a few minutes from the town, and from there the M62 runs east to the M1 and the A1 for the south and the north-east, or west over the Pennines towards Manchester and the North West. A load that goes on first thing can be well south before the midday traffic. For moves of several hundred miles, the day is planned around the drive, and the unloading time at the far end is agreed before setting off.

Because nothing is transferred, the packing done at your door is what protects it the whole way. Boxes should be packed full, taped and labelled by room, fragile items marked, and anything with liquid emptied. A two-bed house may fit the 3.4m load space in one go if it is packed well, but the room list decides, because a second load on a long run means a second long trip. Everything is priced from that list so there is no guessing on the day.

Preparing a Heckmondwike house for a long-distance move

• Send photos of every room and both full postcodes, and a fixed price comes back covering the whole trip
• Have everything boxed and sealed the night before so loading can start at the agreed time
• On a terrace off Westgate with no drive, the van stands in the street for the whole load, so ask the neighbours to keep the kerb outside clear
• A start before the High Street school run gets the van through the centre and onto the M62 ahead of the traffic
• Check parking and access at the destination: permits, loading restrictions or a long carry
• Beds and existing flat-pack are taken apart before loading and rebuilt at the other end
