Removals in Motherwell
Flat and house moves across Motherwell, Muirhouse, North Motherwell, Airbles and Ravenscraig by a crew that comes down the M74 every week.
Motherwell is the county town of North Lanarkshire and a place we know from the ground. The centre runs along Brandon Street, Merry Street and Windmillhill Street, with flats above the shops and tenements on the streets down to Motherwell station. Around it are the housing schemes that grew with the steelworks, Muirhouse and Flemington to the south, North Motherwell and Forgewood to the north, Jerviston and Airbles in between, and on the old Ravenscraig site a new neighbourhood is going up with modern semis and townhouses.
Removals in Motherwell are mostly houses rather than closes, but the estates have their own habits. Muirhouse has long rows of council terraces with front paths and rear lanes, North Motherwell mixes four-in-a-blocks with 1970s semis, and Airbles has bigger private houses on wider streets. The town centre flats need the van in a loading bay off Brandon Street rather than on it.
As a Motherwell removal company we come from Glasgow on the M74 to Raith, then the A725 and the A723 into town, or the M8 and Bellshill for the north side, in around 30 minutes. Give Peter the address and he will quote with the drive included.
Moving in Motherwell: what we know
Brandon Street, Merry Street and the station
The town centre is a grid of Brandon Street, Merry Street, Windmillhill Street and Hamilton Road, with the Brandon Parade shopping centre in the middle. The flats above the shops and the tenements on Hamilton Road and Milton Street are reached by closes off the side lanes, and daytime loading on Brandon Street is restricted. We use the loading bays behind the Parade or the streets near Motherwell station, which has fast trains to Central and is why a lot of our work here is commuters moving in or out.
Muirhouse, Flemington and North Motherwell
Muirhouse, south of the centre off Airbles Road, is rows of 1930s and post-war council terraces and four-in-a-blocks on streets like Shields Road and Muirhouse Avenue, with footpaths at the front and lanes or parking courts behind. North Motherwell and Forgewood on the other side of the railway have similar cottage flats alongside 1970s semis, and the streets are wide enough for the van but the upper flats have outside stairs. We check which side the door faces before the crew leaves Glasgow.
Airbles, Jerviston and Ravenscraig
Airbles and the streets around Strathclyde Park have the town's larger private houses, 1930s semis and later detached homes with driveways and garages. Jerviston is a 1980s and 90s estate of semis and detached houses with cul-de-sacs off Jerviston Road. Ravenscraig, on the old steelworks between Motherwell and Wishaw, is a new neighbourhood of modern townhouses and semis with tight parking bays and half-landing stairs, and its road layout is still being built, so we confirm the route in on the day.
The M74, Raith and the M8
Motherwell is about 30 minutes from West George Street. The usual run is the M74 to Junction 5 at Raith, the A725 across the Clyde and the A723 Hamilton Road into town, with the Raith interchange the slow point at rush hour. For North Motherwell, Forgewood and Carfin the M8 to Junction 6 and the A73 through Bellshill is quicker. Fir Park match days fill the streets around Knowetop and Airbles Road for a few hours, so we book around home fixtures for moves near the ground.
