Leaving Stockport by the M60, M56 and M6
The van comes over from Bradford on the M62 and M60 first, 43 miles, then loads in Stockport. A terrace in Edgeley or Heaton Norris loads at the pace of the setted street outside, and a big Heaton Moor house at the pace of its many rooms, so a long run is planned with the loading time in mind. Beds and wardrobes are taken apart in Stockport and rebuilt at the other end.
From the centre the M60 runs west to the M56, and the M56 meets the M6 for the south: Birmingham is about 85 miles and London about 198. Bristol is about 167 miles by the M6 and M5, and Glasgow about 223 by the M61, M6 and A74(M). Over the Pennines, Sheffield is 38 miles by the M67 and A57. One van, one driver, and nobody else's load on board.
Planning a long move out of Stockport
- Fix the completion or tenancy date first, then book, as long runs take a full day of the diary
- Give the floor, lift and parking at the far end as well as in Stockport
- Keep a bag of essentials with you, as everything else is strapped in the van for the journey
- Send photos of every room, plus any loft or garage, so the load is right first time
- Have someone at the new address with keys for when the van arrives

Long Distance Removals in Stockport: your questions
Can a Stockport to London move be done in a day?
Not always. It is about 198 miles by the M6, on top of the 43-mile drive over from Bradford, so whether it is one long day or two is settled at the quote, inside the fixed price.
What cover is there on a long run?
Goods in transit cover is £10,000 and public liability £5 million, and it applies the whole way from Stockport to the new address.
Does anything else travel in the van?
No. The van carries one home at a time, loaded in Stockport and unloaded at your new address.
Are beds and wardrobes taken apart for a long move?
Yes. They are dismantled in Stockport, travel flat, and are put back together at the new address, all inside the fixed price.
