Whitley is not the town centre and it is not Mirfield. It is the housing and lanes on the Dewsbury side of that run, near Ravensthorpe and Dewsbury Moor. House removals covers family homes. A few rooms along a lane may be man and van or a local move.
There is more than one Whitley in Yorkshire, so the full postcode matters. We use WF12 for this Dewsbury Whitley. If your letter says a different outward code, put that on the form and we will plan from the actual street.
Ravensthorpe station is closed until 2028. Mirfield station is the one still in normal use to the west, and Dewsbury station to the east. Do not ask a relative to meet a train at the closed Ravensthorpe site. For the van, tell us if the last part of the road is narrow. We would rather stop on the wider stretch and carry than get stuck in a gateway.
Westtown and the town centre are the other way. A piano in an older house should be mentioned for piano removals. Packing is available.

Moving in Whitley: common questions
Is Whitley part of Dewsbury?
Yes, in the sense that our Dewsbury team covers it as a local area. Give the full postcode so we do not confuse it with other Whitleys in Yorkshire.
Are the roads narrow?
Some are. Tell us if the van needs to stop on a wider road and carry in, or if there is a drive.
Can a piano be moved from a Whitley house?
Yes, if the path and stairs allow it. Send photos and we will quote the piano on its own terms.
