Junction 33 south, the M18 north and east
For London, the van takes the A630 to the Rotherway junction and the M1 south, about 163 miles to King's Cross, with Nottingham about 41 miles down the same road. North is a different exit: Bawtry Road through Wickersley to the M18, then the A1(M) for York, about 54 miles, and on to Newcastle or Edinburgh. Hull is about 59 miles by the M18 and M62, and Manchester 45 miles over the Pennines by the A628.
A single Transit takes roughly a one or two-bedroom home. A bigger house in Whiston or Wickersley is checked from photos before a date is fixed, and selling a few bulky pieces first can bring it down to one load. Measure the new home's doors and stairs against the largest items, because a long drive to a door the wardrobe will not pass loses the day. For a move to Scotland, a night stop can be built into the quote.
Preparing a Rotherham house for a long run
- Send photos of every room, the loft, the shed and the garage, plus the new address, its floor and where a van can stop
- For London, loading begins when the van reaches Rotherham, from about 9am, and the M1 from junction 33 follows; ask the new borough about suspending a bay
- Have everything boxed and sealed the night before, so loading is the only job in the morning
- Keep documents, medicines, chargers and keys in the car with you
- Check with the agent or solicitor when the new keys will be released before choosing the date

Long Distance Removals from Rotherham: your questions
Is my furniture moved to another vehicle on the way?
No. Everything stays in the one Transit from Rotherham to the new address, unloaded by the driver who loaded it, and nobody else's goods ride with it.
Can Rotherham to London be done in a day?
Usually, if the house fits one van and loading starts when the van arrives from Bradford, from about 9am; the quote spells out the timings. Arrange parking at the London end well ahead.
What if our house is more than one vanload?
The photos will show that before anything is booked. Two long trips seldom make sense, so selling some large items or sending them by a carrier usually works out better.
