Directions from Poppleton to our York base
Poppleton feels like a village move even though York is close. Upper Poppleton and Nether Poppleton mix older cottages, cul-de-sac estates and houses with long drives. Soft verges, narrow lanes and low trees matter as much as the postcode. We work from 14 Fenwick Street, about three to four miles east, and we plan the A59 and ring-road timing before we set off.
Tell us if the driveway turns tightly, if there is a shared private road, or if neighbours park on both sides of The Village. A piano or a large wardrobe needs a clear path from door to van. Photos of the lane and the drive save time on the day. Insurance is provided. Ask what is covered when you book.
Most addresses use YO26. A smaller house or a part-load often suits man and van. A full family home needs the inventory and any loft clearance noted early. Packing support helps if you are moving on a tight completion window. Long distance removals are available if the other end is outside York.
Poppleton Library on The Village is a practical place for forms and wifi while you settle in. School places go through City of York Council admissions, not the village hall. For waste clear-outs, book Hazel Court or check which tip suits your vehicle size. If you need a gap between keys, ask about storage when you call.
Useful contacts on this page cover City of York Council, parking permits, North Yorkshire Police, York Hospital and local libraries or parks. Use those official links for bins, school places and tip bookings. For the move itself, call 01904599132 and we will talk through the load, the van size and the best time to start from Fenwick Street.
When you request a quote, include both postcodes, the property type, and any access notes such as stairs, lifts, narrow lanes or ResPark bays. We work from 14 Fenwick Street, York YO23 1JR, and we are open Monday to Sunday, 24 hours. A clear brief on the day you call helps us send the right van and crew without guessing on the kerb.

Moving in Poppleton: common questions
What are your opening hours?
We are open Monday to Sunday, 24 hours, from 00:00 to 23:59. Call 01904599132 any time for a free quote.
Are Poppleton village lanes suitable for a Luton van?
Many are, but some older lanes are narrow once cars are parked. Tell us about low branches, soft verges and tight driveway turns. We may suggest a smaller vehicle for the last stretch.
Does the A59 affect loading times?
Poppleton sits close to the A59 and the outer ring road. Peak traffic can slow the run from Fenwick Street. An earlier start often makes the load quieter.
