A pedestrian zone, seven hills and one shared passage

The town centre works against a doorstep load. Vehicles are restricted on Queen Street and drivers have been fined for parking on it, so the nearest legal stopping point for a long-wheelbase van is a side street off Commercial Street and the rest is a carry. The free car parks near Morrisons and by the Mercantile Club fill early. None of that matters if the house is properly boxed, and all of it matters if it is not.

Then there are the terraces themselves: long stone rows built up the slopes, with no rear vehicular access and a single shared passage serving an entire block. Furniture and boxes come out of the front, down a hill, to wherever the van fits. We pack for that, with full taped boxes, heavy things kept small, and everything labelled by room so the carry runs one way and nothing gets put down twice.

What Morley packing service usually involves

Loading for Queen Street addresses is done from the side streets, so packing is done for a carry rather than a wheel-out
Long terraces off Commercial Street share one passage per block, which caps what can physically come out at once
The free car parks near Morrisons and the Mercantile Club fill early, so town-centre jobs start early
Several approaches climb the hills the town is built on, so boxes are packed to stack square and stay put in the van
The larger stone villas around Dartmouth Park are usually a full day of packing, with the fragiles done first

What it costs

Frequently asked questions: packing service in Morley

Where does the van park for a Queen Street move?

A side street off Commercial Street. Queen Street is a pedestrian zone and drivers have been fined for parking on it, so there is always a carry between your front door and the van. That is the reason we fill and tape boxes properly rather than leaving anything loose or open.

How long does a three-bed Morley terrace take to pack?

Most of a day for a full pack, room by room and labelled as we go. A kitchen and fragiles pack is usually two to three hours. We would do it the day before the move so moving morning is purely carrying and driving, before the town centre gets busy.

Can we keep packing some rooms ourselves?

Yes. Clothes, bedding and books are the easy ones to do in your own time, and plenty of customers here book us for the kitchen, the glassware and the pictures only. We still bring enough materials for the whole house, so you will not be hunting for boxes the night before.
