Why Baildon customers book us
Baildon sits above Shipley and everything about a move here starts with the hill. Browgate and Baildon Road climb hard out of the valley, so a fully loaded Transit goes up slowly and comes down slower. Once you're in the village, Towngate, Manor Fold and Hallcliffe are a knot of narrow streets with cars both sides, high kerbs and almost no turning room. We check the route before the day and expect a barrow run rather than a pull-up at the door.
The housing changes a lot in a short distance. Gritstone terraces and converted weavers' cottages sit around Northgate and Westgate, mill terraces and conversions run down at Charlestown and Woodbottom, and the moor-edge plots above Northgate hold big detached houses on narrow walled lanes. Otley Road passes under the railway arches at Woodbottom, so we check headroom before routing a loaded van that way rather than discovering it with a wardrobe on board.
Most Baildon moves fall into two shapes. Downsizers coming off the big stone houses near the moor into a village apartment or bungalow, and first-time buyers taking on a smaller terrace at Charlestown or Woodbottom. Both usually happen within a mile or two, which suits one van doing two or three loads better than a day rate. Commuters arriving from Leeds off the Wharfedale line are the third regular job.

Frequently asked questions: man with a van in Baildon
Will the van make it up Browgate into the village?
Yes. It's a slow climb with a full load but the Transit does it every week. The bigger question is the top, not the hill, so tell us the street and we'll work out where the van can actually stand.
There's no parking outside our house on Northgate. What then?
That's normal for the terraces off Northgate and Browgate. We park at the nearest legal point, usually round the corner or in the village car park, and barrow the load in. Say so when you book and we'll allow the extra time properly.
Do you cover Charlestown, Tong Park and Baildon Green?
Yes, along with Woodbottom, Hoyle Court, Ferniehirst and the lanes up towards Baildon Moor and Shipley Glen. It's all inside our standard Shipley and Baildon coverage.
