Why Garforth customers book us
Main Street is Garforth's shopping spine and also its through route, which is an uncomfortable combination on moving day. Bus stops, loading-only bays, time limits and double yellows at the junctions leave very little kerb, and the kerbside activity is constant. For flats and businesses along that stretch we work in short controlled loads rather than leaving the van standing, and we'll tell you honestly if a weekday morning is the wrong time to attempt it.
The commuter estates are the opposite problem. Ninelands Lane, Barley Hill Road and the closes built out towards the M1 junctions are narrow cul-de-sacs with small turning heads and cars parked both sides, so reversing in matters more than squeezing past. Some of the retail car parks around the town also carry height barriers, which is worth knowing before you arrange a furniture collection and find the van can't get in.
Garforth's moves follow its geography. Families come out of east Leeds for the schools and a house with a drive, and downsizers go the other way, out of the big 1960s and 1970s estate houses into the newer apartments at the Lidgett Lane end. Around that we do regular work for firms at Lotherton Business Park, New Hold, Cherry Trade Park and Thorpe Park at Colton, and student runs to and from Leeds off the York line.

Frequently asked questions: man with a van in Garforth
Can you park on Main Street while you load?
Only briefly and only in the right place. Main Street has bus stops, loading-only bays, time limits and double yellows at the junctions, so we use short controlled loads rather than leaving the van standing. Give us the address and we'll pick the stopping point in advance.
Our close off Ninelands Lane is really tight. Will the van fit?
Almost always. The Transit is a long wheelbase but it's narrower than a Luton and turns more sharply, so it gets into closes that defeat a lorry. Tell us which close it is and we'll check the turning head and decide whether to reverse in.
Will the van clear the height barrier at the retail car park?
Some of the car parks around town have barriers the Transit won't pass, so ask us before you arrange a collection there. Send the store and the car park and we'll confirm whether we can get in or need to meet you at the service entrance.
