Hamilton Removals
House and flat moves across Hamilton and ML3, from Victorian villas on Bothwell Road to family homes in Low Waters, Earnock and Silvertonhill.
Hamilton is the biggest town in South Lanarkshire and one we drive to most weeks. The centre around Quarry Street, Cadzow Street and New Cross has flats above the shops and older tenements on the streets running down to Hamilton Central station. Bothwell Road and the avenues behind it hold Victorian villas and big semis, Silvertonhill has post-war semis and bungalows on gentle hills, and Low Waters, Fairhill, Eddlewood, Hillhouse and Earnock are the family estates that make up most of the town's housing.
Removals in Hamilton are rarely about stairs, since most of the stock is houses, but they are about distance and driveways. Estate roads in Earnock and Hillhouse are wide enough for a Luton, though the cul-de-sacs off them fill up with cars and the older council streets in Burnbank and Whitehill have front paths rather than road access.
As a Hamilton removal company we come down the M74 to Junction 6 for the centre and Bothwell Road, or Junction 5 at Raith for Hillhouse and Earnock, which is about 30 minutes from Glasgow. Give Peter the address and he will quote for the whole job including the drive.
Moving in Hamilton: what we know
Town centre, Quarry Street and the stations
The centre of Hamilton is compact, with pedestrianised sections on Quarry Street and Cadzow Street and a one-way system around New Cross and Castle Street that catches people out. Flats above the shops and the tenements on Brandon Street and Clydesdale Street are reached by closes off side lanes, and loading is restricted during shop hours. Hamilton Central and Hamilton West stations both have trains to Central, and the streets between them, Portland Place and Union Street, are where much of the flat work is.
Bothwell Road and Silvertonhill
Bothwell Road, running from the centre out towards Bothwell, is lined with large Victorian villas, many now split into flats, with long gravel drives and mature trees over the road. The avenues off it, Auchingramont Road, Woodlands Road and the streets near the racecourse, are similar. Silvertonhill on the other side of the town is 1950s and 60s semis and bungalows on Silvertonhill Avenue and the streets around it, with driveways, small front gardens and sloping plots that make the last few metres awkward with a sack truck.
Low Waters, Fairhill, Eddlewood and Earnock
The south and west of the town is where most family moves happen. Low Waters Road runs out past Fairhill and Eddlewood, a mix of council-built terraces, four-in-a-blocks and private semis, and Earnock and Hillhouse have 1970s to 1990s estates of detached houses with integral garages. Access is generally good, though a few of the older Eddlewood terraces have a footpath at the front and a parking court behind, and we confirm which side to use before the van sets off from Glasgow.
The M74 and the drive from Glasgow
Hamilton is 30 minutes from our base on West George Street down the M74, and we time it to avoid the Raith interchange at rush hour, which can add 15 minutes on a bad day. Junction 6 puts the van on Bothwell Road and straight into the centre; Junction 5 and the A725 serve Hillhouse, Earnock and Burnbank. Hamilton Park racecourse meetings on summer evenings fill the streets between Bothwell Road and the Palace Grounds, so we check the fixture list before booking moves near there.
