Man and Van in Dore, Sheffield

Dore has some specific access considerations that affect every removal job.

Knowing them before the van arrives saves time and avoids surprises.

Dore Road is the main artery running north through the village toward Totley and Abbeydale Road South.

It handles traffic well but can get congested during school drop-off times at Dore Primary School, particularly between 8:30am and 9:15am. If your move starts during that window, our drivers plan an alternative approach via Hathersage Road to the south.

Shorts Lane and Savage Lane are popular residential streets with plenty of kerbside parking, but the lanes are narrow.

Our drivers use transit-sized vans on these streets rather than long-wheelbase lorries. Always check if your property has a dropped kerb or a shared driveway before booking.

Cavendish Avenue and Devonshire Road are wider and easier for loading.

Properties here often have driveways, which speeds up the job considerably.

The Whirlowbrook Park area near the eastern edge of Dore requires careful positioning.

The park entrance on Ecclesall Road South sees pedestrian traffic throughout the day, so our team always posts a team member to manage the pavement while loading.

If you live on a private road or unadopted street within S17, let us know when you book.

Some unmade roads near the moorland fringe can be soft in wet weather. We carry equipment to manage difficult access, but advance notice helps us bring the right resources. Give us your full postcode when you call and we will check access before confirming your slot.

Our Dore service covers all S17 postcodes and the surrounding areas without additional travel charges.

Here is a breakdown of the coverage zone.

Within S17, we cover Dore village, Totley, Totley Rise, and Bradway.

These four areas make up the bulk of our south Sheffield bookings. Totley is particularly busy for us given the number of family homes near Totley Brook Road and Baslow Road.

We also cover S11 (Ecclesall and Whirlow), S7 (Millhouses and Nether Edge), and S8 (Woodseats and Beauchief).

These neighbouring postcodes are within our standard Dore service zone, so no additional fees apply for collections or deliveries across these areas.

For moves going further out, we cover the whole of South Yorkshire including Rotherham, Barnsley, and Doncaster.

Long-distance moves from Dore to cities such as Manchester, Leeds, and Birmingham are priced from £500 and use our dedicated long-distance team.

We also handle van hire for moves similar to van hire in Huntingdon or van hire in Newmarket for customers relocating between Sheffield and the East of England corridor.

If you are moving to or from Cambridgeshire, our long-distance team covers the full A1(M) and A14 route.

For cross-city moves within Sheffield, we are often in the S1 to S35 range on the same day as S17 bookings.

If you need items collected from multiple Sheffield addresses and delivered to Dore, our multi-stop pricing starts at an additional £25 per extra address. Call to build a custom quote for a complex move.
