Junction 31 and beyond: long moves out of Normanton
For London and the South, the M62 west to the M1 is the usual route. For Scotland and the North East, the M62 east to the A1(M) gets the van north. The South West goes down the M1, then the M42 to the M5. Junction 31 carries the lorries for the parks around it, so loading starts early to get the van onto the motorway in good time.
Because it is one van and one driver, the day is yours. Loading starts first thing, and the unload happens the same day wherever the distance and key release allow. A move to Cornwall or the far north of Scotland gets its timing worked out with you before the date is fixed. Book well ahead, since one van cannot be in two places, and have the new address's parking details ready.
Preparing for a long-distance move from Normanton
- Book the date early; the van is dedicated to your move for the day
- Send photos and a list of rooms so we can confirm one load of 3.4m by 1.3m by 1.7m
- Check key release times at the new address
- From a terrace off the High Street, ask the neighbours to keep the kerb clear, because a full long-distance load takes longer than a local move
- From Altofts, give the lane and where the van can stand, so loading can start at 8am
- Keep documents, chargers and medicines with you rather than in the van

Long Distance Removals from Normanton: your questions
Will my furniture be moved onto another lorry halfway?
No. It stays in the same van, with the same driver, from loading to unloading.
Can you move just one room?
Yes. A room's worth of furniture and boxes gets one fixed price based on the space and time it takes.
What goes into the quote for a long move?
Photos of each room, both postcodes, the date and a note about parking at each end. The fixed price is sent back, agreed before the van sets off.
Can you start very early to beat the traffic?
The earliest start is 8am. Loading first thing gets a long run onto the M62 before midday, which gives the most daylight for the unload at the other end.
