Directions from Wombwell to our Barnsley base
Wombwell is a town in its own right, about 4 miles south-east of our Cheapside base. High Street, Station Road and the estates off Park Street are the regular house moves. Terraces near the centre mean the van stops on the road. Estate semis often have a drive if it is cleared first.
The station is on the Hallam line, which helps the household after moving day. It does not change how the van arrives. Bridges and parked cars on the shopping streets are the access points to mention. Darfield shares S73 and is a different set of roads.
Insurance is provided. Ask what is covered when you book. A move onward to another part of the UK can be booked as a longer run once the Wombwell address and the destination postcode are both on the quote.
Our local team covers the Dearne towns as well. See house removals, Hoyland and Goldthorpe. Barnsley removals is at 29 Cheapside.
