Loaded van · Netherton DY2
Sorted in Netherton: loaded van handled 24/7
Between Halesowen and Cradley Heath, loaded van is one of the more common reasons people ring us. In Netherton the pattern is usually industrial traffic on A4100 Halesowen Road plus tight parking, which is why we plan the approach before dispatch. We work Netherton alongside Halesowen, Cradley Heath, Brierley Hill, so the same crews see these roads every week. Motorway access for Netherton is via M5 J2, which sets the realistic ETA. Nothing about a DY2 job is guesswork by the time we arrive. Parked-both-sides streets around 1960s council housing are the usual constraint rather than distance.

Netherton questions
Do you charge differently for a loaded van versus an empty one in Netherton?
Get in touch with the details of your situation and we'll talk you through it — the main thing is making sure your load and the van are both handled properly.
Can you take the van straight to my workshop instead of a garage in Netherton?
Yes, we can recover to wherever's most useful for you — workshop, home, garage, or business premises.
Can I take some of my tools out before you recover the van in Netherton?
Yes, if it's safe and practical, let us know in advance and we'll work around getting you what you need before loading.
Do I need to be with the vehicle in Netherton?
Not always. For collections from 1960s council housing or a unit near Halesowen Road units we can work with a key safe or a nominated contact, provided we have written authority and someone to receive the vehicle at the other end.
Can you take the vehicle to a garage outside Netherton?
Yes. Most drops go to a garage in Netherton itself or in Halesowen, but we will run further if that is where your repairer is. Give us the destination on the call so it is inside the quoted price.
What if the vehicle is blocking A4100 Halesowen Road?
Say so immediately — that changes the priority. A vehicle on a live carriageway near Netherton Tunnel is treated as urgent, and we will talk you through where to stand while you wait.
