Why Birstall customers book us
The older core is the awkward part. Kirkgate and the lanes around St Peter's Church climb the high ground above the town and are parked tight on both sides, which is the worst pinch point in Birstall for a long wheelbase van. The triangular Victorian market place is setted and gives up its central kerb space to the Thursday market and the Joseph Priestley statue, and Howden Clough drops away towards Morley, so the eastern approaches are steeper than the map suggests.
Out from that it gets easier. The post-war and ex-council estates at Nova, Fieldhead and Howden Clough, and the modern semis filling the gap towards Birkenshaw and the M62, mostly have a drive or a kerb we can reach, which makes for quick, clean jobs. The small free and short-stay bays by the market place and Kirkgate fill early, so for a centre job we would rather start at eight than fight for space later.
Then there is the shopping park. Birstall Shopping Park, Junction 27 Retail Park and Spring Ram sit together off Holden Ing Way and Gelderd Road, and the weekend queues on those two roads are the usual reason a job here runs late. It is also why so much of our work in this corner is collection work, including flat-packed furniture from the IKEA at Birstall Shopping Park that was never going to fit in a car.

Frequently asked questions: man with a van in Birstall
Can you collect from IKEA or Junction 27 Retail Park for me?
Yes, that is one of the most common jobs we get in Birstall. Send us the order or collection details and we will load it straight into the van. The retail parks have large free surface car parks, so the loading end is easy; a weekday slot avoids the weekend queues on Gelderd Road and Holden Ing Way.
My street near Kirkgate is steep and parked on both sides. What then?
We walk the route before loading and stand the van at the nearest point the street genuinely allows, then use the trolley and straps for the carry. Tell us the address when you book so the time is allowed for and we are not trying to work it out with a full van behind us.
Does the Thursday market get in the way?
It takes the central kerb space beside the Joseph Priestley statue in the market place, so a town-centre job on a Thursday wants an early start. The retail park car parks off Holden Ing Way are a useful waiting point between drops, though not somewhere to load a house move from.
