Kendray removals
Kendray is immediately south of the town centre, a grid of terraces and semis around Thornton Road and Farm Road. Our local team treats it as a near job with little space to park.

Directions from Kendray to our Barnsley base
Kendray is about a mile south of our Cheapside base. The streets are close together, with terraces and semis and cars along both kerbs. Thornton Road and Farm Road are the names that place a job. A van can be on site quickly and still spend the first ten minutes finding a gap that does not block the junction.
There is no separate Kendray library on the council list. The Lightbox in town is the public library. The Forest Academy on Thornton Road is the local school landmark, and term-time mornings fill the road outside it.
Postcodes are S70. Insurance is provided. Ask what is covered when you book. If the house has a back alley and a front door, tell us which one you want us to use. Alleys save the kerb and punish wide furniture.
Our local team will say if a smaller van is the better fit. See house removals, the town centre and Ardsley. Barnsley removals is on Cheapside.
