South on the A1(M), north on the A19: York's long runs
Going south, the van leaves York by the A64 past Tadcaster to the A1(M), then takes the M18 and M1 for London, about 211 miles. Going north, it leaves by the A1237 ring road onto the A19, about 87 miles to Newcastle, and on by the A1 to Edinburgh, about 205 miles. Manchester is about 73 miles by the A64, the A1(M), the M1 and the M62, and Hull about 38 miles east on the A1079.
A long run means an early start from the York end. A flat inside the walls is loaded outside footstreet hours, and a terrace in South Bank or The Groves needs a visitor permit or a clear space outside. A very long run may be split over two days by arrangement, agreed in the quote, so the timing at both addresses is settled before you book.
Planning a long move out of York
- Give the dates the keys change hands at both ends, as the run is planned around them
- Buy a visitor permit for the loading day if the York house is in a ResPark zone
- Check the parking at the new address, especially in London or Edinburgh, where a permit or suspension may be needed
- Pack everything before the van arrives, or book the packing service for the day before
- Goods in transit cover is £10,000; say if the load is worth more

Long Distance Removals in York: your questions
Can you move us from York to London?
Yes, by arrangement. The van loads in York, takes the A64 and A1(M) south and unloads in London, about 211 miles. The price is fixed once you send the inventory and both addresses.
How far ahead should I book a long-distance move from York?
As soon as both dates are fixed. A long run takes a whole day, sometimes two, so a few weeks' notice makes it easier to find a free date.
Can a long move from York be split over two days?
Yes, by arrangement. A very long run, such as London or Edinburgh, may be split over two days, and that is agreed in the quote before you book.
