The M60 south, the M62 east and the road north from Oldham
London is about 209 miles from Oldham by the M60, the M56, the M6 and the M1, a long single day from an 8am load. Birmingham is around 97 miles on the same road south. Leeds, York and Newcastle mean the A627(M) to junction 20 and the M62 east, and Liverpool is 42 miles west on the M62. For Edinburgh or Glasgow the van takes the M61 and the M6 north, and an overnight stop may be agreed.
A single long wheelbase Transit carries roughly what a one or two-bedroom home holds, so a larger Oldham house is sized up from photos before any date is fixed. Measure the doors and stair at the new place against the wardrobe and the sofa, and arrange parking at the far end early. Time on a long move slips away at the kerb, so on a terrace with no space outside, a word with the neighbours the night before helps.
Planning a long move out of Oldham
- Photograph each room, the cellar and any loft space, and send the new address with its floor and parking
- If the far end is a city street, ask that council early about suspending a bay for the van
- Have the last cartons taped up the evening before so an 8am start goes straight to loading
- Keep a bag in the car with passports, medicines, phone chargers and the keys to both homes
- Check with the agent or solicitor what time the new keys are handed over

Long Distance Removals from Oldham: your questions
Is my furniture moved between vans on a long Oldham move?
No. It goes into the Transit in Oldham and stays there until the new address, loaded and unloaded by the same driver, with nothing else on board.
How long does an Oldham to London move take?
A long single day when loading starts at 8am and the load fits one van; the London end is about 209 miles away, and the quote sets out the timing.
What if our Oldham house has more than one van can hold?
The photos will show it before a date is booked, and selling a few big pieces first or sending them separately keeps the move to one van.
