Our man and van in Yeadon
Man With Van Long Wheelbase is one driver and one Ford Transit long wheelbase van, based in Bradford, 7 miles from Yeadon (25-35 minutes by road). Yeadon is inside our core area, so the drive is simply part of one fixed price agreed before we set off.
Moving in Yeadon: what to know first
The old centre is the tight part. High Street, Kirk Lane and Ivegate are narrow and parked on both sides, with little room to stand a van carrying a 3.4 metre load, so a stop there is kept short and the route is checked first. Choosing the direction of approach, so the heaviest carry runs downhill rather than up, saves more time than anything else on a Yeadon job.
Away from the top of the hill the streets open out. Rufford Park, Westfield, New Scarborough and Yeadon Banks each have their own mix of housing, and towards Rawdon there are larger detached houses with room to turn a long van. The streets dropping south towards Nether Yeadon and Rawdon are worth a look at the approach before the day.
Leeds Bradford Airport sits immediately east of the town, with its industrial estate on Harrogate Road, and plenty of people who live here work shifts. The van runs 8am to 8pm, seven days a week, to fit around that. Harrogate Road and the A65 both slow down around the Rawdon junctions at the school run and at shift change, so start times are chosen with care.
Parking and access in Yeadon
Residential streets away from the centre are mostly easier to stop on, but the hilltop core (High Street, Kirk Lane, Ivegate) is narrow and parked on both sides, so a van usually works from a short stop rather than a proper loading position.
- The centre streets, High Street, Ivegate and Kirk Lane, are narrow and parked on both sides, with little room to stand a 3.4m-load LWB van.
- Many streets below High Street slope, so the van often stands on a gradient and items are carried up or down to it.
- The A65 and the A658 Harrogate Road both slow down around the Rawdon junctions, especially at school and shift-change times.
- The streets dropping south into Nether Yeadon and towards Rawdon are worth checking for turning space before the day.

Frequently asked questions: man with a van in Yeadon
How much does a man and van cost in Yeadon?
It is one fixed price, agreed before the van sets off, and there is no travel surcharge to Yeadon. What sets it is how much there is to move, the access at each end, including steps and how close the van can stand on a sloping street, and the distance between the two addresses. Send photos and both postcodes; the prices page sets out what goes into a quote.
Our house has steps up from the pavement. How do you manage that?
The route is walked first, the wheels are turned into the kerb, and the trolley is used for the flat stretches while the steps are hand-carried. The van is parked so heavy items go downhill to it where possible. Blankets and straps are used on everything.
When is the best time to book around the airport traffic?
Mid-morning or early afternoon, usually. Harrogate Road and the A65 both back up around the Rawdon junctions at shift change and the school run. The van works 8am to 8pm, seven days, so there is normally a slot that misses the worst of it.
Can a long wheelbase van get down into Nether Yeadon?
Usually, though not always right to the door. Give the street name when you ask for a price and the approach is checked; if it is too tight, the van stops where it is safe and the last stretch is carried.
