Furniture collections from Metro Park West and the Metrocentre

Gateshead is where a lot of the region buys its furniture. IKEA Gateshead is at Metro Park West on Pinetree Way, off junction 73 of the A1, and the Metrocentre is a couple of minutes away. Collection and delivery from shops and retailers is a core part of our man with a van service, so if you have bought something too big to get home, we can bring it to your door.

NE11, around Dunston, the Team Valley and the Metrocentre, has good vehicle access but heavy retail and industrial traffic at weekends and at shift changes. Access is easy. Timing is the part to plan.

What changes across the borough

Town centre, Bensham and Saltwell (NE8)

Upper Tyneside flats with full stair carries, Victorian terraces with no driveways and permit zones. Tyneside flats in Bensham need planning of their own, so tell us which floor and measure the big pieces. The Gateshead Flyover demolition is reshaping town-centre traffic in 2026, so NE8 routes get checked in the week of the job.

Low Fell, Harlow Green, Wrekenton and Sheriff Hill (NE9)

Family semis and post-war estates, with permit-only bays at Kells Lane, Beaconsfield Road and Clement Street.

Felling, Pelaw, Heworth and Windy Nook (NE10)

Short runs into Jarrow and Hebburn. Back lanes often load better than the front. For bigger furniture work here see furniture removals in Felling.

Whickham, Blaydon, Ryton and Chopwell

Steep gradients in Whickham and Sunniside, village streets in Blaydon and Winlaton, and narrow lanes with passing places out toward Chopwell and Rowlands Gill. In the far west a loaded van needs a planned turning point.

Birtley and the south (DH3)

Driveways on most properties and direct A1 access.

Crossing the river

Many Gateshead jobs start or finish in Newcastle. The Tyne Bridge is running one lane each way during its restoration, so cross-river jobs are planned around it and the High Level, Swing and Redheugh crossings depending on the time of day.
