From Ossett onto the M1 at junction 40 and away south
For London, the Midlands or the South West, the van goes out to junction 40 and down the M1. For Manchester and the North West it is the M62 west from junction 28, and for the North East or Scotland the M1 north to the A1(M). With a motorway so close to the door, the first few miles out of WF5 hardly change the day. What does is how long loading takes at the Ossett end and the traffic around the city at the other.
A long move works best as an early start: load in the morning, drive while the roads allow, and unload the same day where the distance allows it. The van holds 3.4m by 1.3m by 1.7m, which is a flat or a small house. If the load is bigger, two trips over a long distance rarely make sense, and the quote will say that plainly. Measure large items against the doors of the new place before you go, because nobody wants a sofa driven two hundred miles to a door it cannot pass.
Preparing an Ossett home for a move across the country
- Send photos of every room and the full destination address, including the floor and the parking
- From a Market Place terrace, load on a Monday, Wednesday or Thursday so the stalls do not hold up an early getaway
- A South Ossett family house with a full garage may not fit one van, so photograph the garage and loft too
- Ask about parking at the far end: a city street may need a permit or a suspended bay
- Keep documents, medicines and chargers with you, not in the van
- Check the key release time with the agent at the other end before the day

Long Distance Removals from Ossett: your questions
Is it one van all the way?
Yes. Your things are loaded once in Ossett, stay on that van and are carried in at the other end by the same driver. Nothing goes through a depot or shares space with another customer's load.
Can you do Ossett to London in a day?
It can be, with an early start from 8am and a load that fits one van, and the timing is confirmed at the quote. Tell us about the London parking in advance, because a permit bay or a suspension may be needed and that is the part that can stall the day.
What if everything will not fit?
Then it is better to know from the photos, measured against 3.4m by 1.3m by 1.7m of load space. Some people send a few large items with another carrier or sell them before the move; a second long trip is rarely good value.
