Houses on the hill east of town
Earlsheaton is family housing on higher ground, a short distance from Dewsbury but with slopes that change how a van sits. House removals is the usual booking. If the load is furniture between two family homes, furniture removals may be the closer description. A piano on an upper floor, with steps down to the pavement, belongs on piano removals.
Kirklees publishes Earlsheaton Infant School at Commercial Street, WF12 8JF, and links it with Bywell CE Junior. Shaw Cross infant school shares that same junior link, which is useful if you are choosing between this hill and Shaw Cross. Chickenley and Hanging Heaton are the other neighbours on this side.
School-run parking fills some streets. If you can offer a mid-morning arrival, say so. We would rather wait for a space than block a junction on a slope.
Before the crew arrives
Empty the loft only if it is safe, or tell us it has a proper ladder and floor. Garden furniture on a sloping plot should be on the list, not discovered at the end. Packing can take the kitchen the day before if you are still living in the house.
Thornhill is the neighbour to the south. Call 01924729860 or use the quote form. See Dewsbury removals for the full service list.
