Mearclough goods-in and the Wharf Street loading bay

Mearclough is a former mill split into trade units, and a delivery there comes down to which unit it is, when goods-in is open and whether the van can load at the door or has to wait nearby. Tell us all three when you book. Stock, fixtures and equipment go on and off by hand and trolley, so say roughly what a typical run carries and whether the load is much the same each time.

Wharf Street, the A58 through the centre, has a loading bay and very little kerb space besides, so a drop to a shop or bar there is timed for when the bay is likely to be free, usually before opening. Premises in the listed buildings round the canal basin often have no rear yard, so boxed stock and kit are trolleyed from the nearest legal stop.

How a business run into Sowerby Bridge is set up

Give the unit or shop, when goods-in is open and who will sign, so the drop is planned for that slot
Everything is loaded by hand, so boxed stock, shopfittings, furniture and equipment up to 3.4 metres long rather than pallet freight
Early drops suit Wharf Street, before the loading bay fills with the other deliveries of the morning
For a run that comes up again, such as stock from a Halifax or Brighouse supplier to Mearclough, each trip is quoted as a fixed price before the van leaves Bradford
Bars and restaurants round the canal basin usually take drops before opening, so give the earliest time someone can let us in

Business & Trade Deliveries in Sowerby Bridge: your questions

Can you deliver to a unit at Mearclough?

Yes. Tell us the unit number and whether there is space to load at the door, and the drop is planned for your goods-in hours.

Where do you park for a Wharf Street shop?

There is very little kerb space on Wharf Street, so we aim to use the loading bay early in the day and trolley the stock from there.

Can you carry pallets?

There is no tail lift or forklift, so pallets are broken down and loaded by hand. The van suits boxed stock, fixtures and equipment rather than palletised freight.

Is one driver enough for a shop refit delivery?

For most boxed fittings, shelving and furniture, yes, since everything is handled piece by piece. There is one driver, so describe the heaviest item when you ask for a price and you get a straight answer before anything is booked.
