Long Distance Removals in Wakefield

Wakefield has some of the best motorway access in Yorkshire.

The M1 runs directly past the eastern edge of the city at junction 39 and 40. The M62 connects at junction 29, giving direct routes west to Manchester and east towards Hull. For long distance removals, this means we can load your van in the morning and reach London in under three hours in good traffic.

That said, Wakefield has its tricky spots.

Kirkgate in the city centre has narrow lanes and delivery restrictions during peak hours. Bull Ring, near Westgate train station, sees heavy congestion between 7am and 9am on weekdays. We plan all collections before 7am or after 9am to avoid those windows.

Some residential streets in Lupset, particularly around Lumley Street and Barden Lane, have parked cars on both sides with no turning space for a large van.

We use medium-wheelbase vehicles for those roads and shuttle loads to a larger lorry parked on a wider street nearby.

The WF4 postcode covers villages like Crigglestone and Walton.

These rural properties often have no kerb, grass verges only, and tight bends off the A61. We carry ramps and route-planning tools for exactly these situations.

Wakefield city centre has a Clean Air Zone that applies to older diesel vehicles.

All Giant Van commercial vehicles meet ULEZ and CAZ standards, so there are no surprise charges added to your bill.

Giant Van collects from every neighbourhood within the Wakefield district.

Our most common collection points include the following areas.

WF1 covers central Wakefield, Agbrigg, Eastmoor, and Kirkgate.

WF2 covers Sandal, Belle Vue, and Wrenthorpe. WF4 includes Crigglestone, Walton, and Durkar. WF10 covers Castleford, which sits just east of Wakefield city centre near the A656.

We also collect regularly from Ossett (WF5), Horbury (WF4), and Stanley (WF3).

The village of Heath, just south of the city centre off the A655, is a frequent collection point for period properties requiring careful handling.

For customers in Pontefract, which falls under the WF8 postcode, we offer the same service and pricing structure as central Wakefield collections.

Our long distance destinations from Wakefield cover the whole of Great Britain.

We run regular routes to London, Manchester, Edinburgh, Glasgow, Bristol, Cardiff, Birmingham, and Newcastle. One-off destinations are quoted individually. There is no minimum distance on long distance jobs.

We also offer return leg bookings.

If you are moving from Wakefield to a city where we have another job finishing, you may qualify for a reduced rate on the return run. Ask about this when you book.

Customers in Knottingley, Featherstone, and the eastern edge of the district near the A1(M) are covered without any surcharge.

The same applies to properties near Newmillerdam Country Park in WF2.
