Long Distance Removals from Wakefield

Wakefield to anywhere in one van, loaded and unloaded by one driver

A long move with this service is one van doing one job. Your things are loaded at your Wakefield address, stay on the van and come off at the new one. Nothing goes to a depot, nothing is moved onto another lorry and there is no shared load with other households. That is why an arrival time can be agreed rather than a delivery window of several days.

The limit is the size of one long wheelbase Transit: 3.4m long, 1.3m between the wheel arches and 1.7m high. That covers a flat, a student room or a small, modestly furnished house. A full family house with a loaded garage is more than one van, and it is better to know that at the quote. For long runs the day starts early, so the van reaches the far end with daylight left for unloading.

Planning a long run out of Wakefield

• Send photos of everything going, both addresses and your dates, and a fixed price for the whole run comes back
• Pack and seal boxes before the day and label them by room, because unpacking at the far end is far quicker that way
• Check parking at the new address: permit zones, loading rules and whether a space can be reserved
• From Lupset, Flanshaw or Alverthorpe on the west side, the A638 Dewsbury Road reaches M1 junction 40, so a run south starts without crossing the city centre
• For a Waterfront or city-centre flat, book the lift and the loading point for the first slot of the day, because a long run cannot wait on a lift in use
• Keep valuables, documents and medication with you rather than in the van
