North of Dewsbury, still on our round
Heckmondwike is a few miles north, past Hanging Heaton and Batley. It has its own bus station at Royle Fold and a library hub listed by Kirklees. There is no railway station. Trains are from Dewsbury. Heckmondwike Grammar School is the selective secondary named in the council’s admission arrangements. Primary applications are a separate step on the same council site.
We move houses from Dewsbury as house removals. Smaller loads are local moves or man and van. The centre can be tight near the bus stands. Estate streets further out need a note if the turning space is limited. Chickenley and Earlsheaton are the Dewsbury neighbourhoods on the southern approach.
Tell us the floor, the parking and whether a garage is included. Packing is optional. Call 01924729860 for a written quote.
