Directions from Rawcliffe to our York base
Rawcliffe is a north-west York suburb of family estates, cul-de-sacs and houses within easy reach of the A1237. Drives are common, which helps, yet turning heads still fill with parked cars after work. We run from 14 Fenwick Street in South Bank, about three miles away, and we build ring-road timing into the quote day.
Park and ride buses and through traffic on Shipton Road can slow the approach. If you are moving on a weekday morning, say so. An earlier or mid-morning start often means a quieter street. Insurance is provided. Ask what is covered when you book. Storage helps when exchange and completion fall on different weeks.
Most Rawcliffe addresses use YO30. A part-load suits man and van. A full house needs the inventory, garden items and any loft clearance listed. Packing service is available if you want the fragile items wrapped before the crew arrives.
Rawcliffe Bar Country Park is the local green landmark beside the park and ride. Clifton Explore on Rawcliffe Drive covers library PCs and wifi for this side of the city. School applications go through City of York Council admissions with the new address checked on the catchment map. Long distance removals are available if you are leaving York from a Rawcliffe house.
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 Rawcliffe: 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.
Does Rawcliffe Park and Ride traffic affect moves?
Morning and evening peaks can thicken the ring road and Shipton Road. If your keys are midday, that often avoids the busiest park and ride flow. Tell us your preferred window.
Are Rawcliffe estates easy for a large van?
Many drives are straightforward, but some cul-de-sacs have tight turning heads. A photo helps us choose the vehicle. Call 01904599132 with access notes.
