House moves in South Bank, York
Our base at 14 Fenwick Street is in South Bank, so many of these streets are a short roll rather than a drive across the city. Access and parking still decide the plan.

Directions from South Bank to our York base
South Bank is home ground for Pro Removals York. 14 Fenwick Street, YO23 1JR, sits among the terraces, alleys and park-side streets that make up this part of the city. Being local does not remove the need for a clear stop. Bishopthorpe Road, Terry Avenue and the streets towards the river often leave only a short legal kerb.
Rowntree Park is the main green space, with a reading cafe in the lodge on Richardson Street. When the Ouse rises the park can close, and nearby roads feel busier. Tell us if your door faces a narrow street, if there is a rear alley for loading, or if a piano needs a clear path from a terrace hallway. Insurance is provided. Ask what is covered when you book.
Most South Bank postcodes are YO23. A flat or a smaller house often suits man and van. A full family move needs packing notes, loft access and parking detail. ResPark and permit rules still apply on many streets, so check City of York Council before you ask neighbours to leave a bay clear.
The city centre and Holgate are a short hop away, which helps if you are moving across the river. Dringhouses and Fulford sit further along the southern approaches. We plan every South Bank job from the same Fenwick Street base, with the same free quote process. Photos of the street and the doorway still help even when we know the neighbourhood well.
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.
See house removals and packing. We also cover Holgate, York City Centre and Dringhouses. Call 01904599132 any time.
