Larkhall stands on high ground between the Clyde and the Avon Water, a few minutes from the M74 and from the Canderside junction where the A71 crosses the motorway. The reopening of the rail link to Glasgow made the town more attractive to commuters, and housebuilding on its edges has continued since, which is where most sweeping enquiries start.
The town also has a working industrial base. Estates at Strutherhill and on the south side hold engineering firms, hauliers, builders’ suppliers and waste and recycling operators, all with yards that gather dust and debris. Commercial development around the motorway junction, resurfacing on the B7078 through the town and steady utility work in older streets round out the picture.
Coverage in and around Larkhall
Operators attending Larkhall can also cover Ashgill, Netherburn, Dalserf, Shawsburn and Ferniegair, together with Stonehouse to the south-west and the Clyde valley road towards Garrion Bridge. Hamilton and Motherwell are close, which generally helps with supply, though every booking is confirmed against what is free on the day.
