Why Rothwell customers book us
Rothwell was a pit town and the older housing says so. Red-brick Victorian terraces and ex-colliery rows around Commercial Street, Marsh Street and Butcher Lane sit on narrow streets with permanent kerbside parking and no rear access, so loading happens through the front door onto a working street. The free Marsh Street car park is the main town-centre option, though Leeds City Council has consulted on introducing charges there, so it's worth checking on the day.
The other half of Rothwell is brand new. The estates at Oulton, Woodlesford and along Aberford Road have gone up fast over the last twenty years, and they bring their own problems: block-paved closes, small turning heads, driveway-only parking and bollarded footpath links that look like a shortcut on a map and stop a long-wheelbase van dead. Give us the street name and we'll work out the approach before we set off.
Getting to Rothwell from Bradford means the M62 and then the M621, and the approaches at Junction 7 and M1 Junction 44 back up badly at peak times because of the Stourton freight traffic. That's easy to design around with an early start. Most of the work here is families moving out of south Leeds for schools and a garden, plus the constant churn of people moving into the new releases at Oulton and Woodlesford.

Frequently asked questions: man with a van in Rothwell
When can you load on Commercial Street?
Before 10am and after 4pm, which is the loading window for the semi-pedestrianised zone; in between it's buses only. We book Rothwell town-centre moves to start early for that reason, so the van is in and out before the restriction bites.
We're moving into a new-build at Oulton. Anything to tell you?
The development and the street name. The newer closes have small turning heads, driveway-only parking and bollarded footpath links a van can't pass, so we check the layout beforehand and decide where the van stands rather than finding out with a full load.
Do you cover Woodlesford, Carlton, Robin Hood and Methley?
Yes, along with Rothwell Haigh, John O'Gaunts, Oulton, Lofthouse, Swillington and Mickletown. The whole LS26 area is a standard local job with no travel surcharge.
