Why Colne customers book us

One thing catches out drivers from out of town: parking in the centre is free, but the short-stay council car parks want a parking disc displayed. We carry one. Albert Road, Market Street and the lanes dropping off them are narrow and sloped with loading restrictions, so a long wheelbase Transit frequently ends up working from the bottom of a hill and walking the load up to the door.

The terraces are gritstone two-up two-downs in grid-iron rows across steep hillsides, densest down the North Valley and along Colne Water towards Primet Bridge. Most have stone steps or a flagged forecourt up from the pavement and no rear vehicle access at all, and the back streets behind them are unadopted cobbled ginnels, too narrow for a van whatever the map suggests. Higher up at Colne Edge, Winewall and Laneshaw Bridge it turns to moor-edge cottages.

Winter is the honest caveat. The A6068 is high and exposed and among the first roads round here to close for snow or ice, so a December booking gets slack built into the slot rather than a promise we cannot keep. Cheap stone terraces pull first-time buyers and landlords in from Nelson, Burnley, Keighley and Skipton, and plenty of households land here because one partner's job moved to the Lancashire side.

Man and van services we offer in Colne

Colne customers book us for house removals from hillside terraces where everything comes down a flight of steps, furniture delivery including runs from Boundary Mill and the North Valley retail units, and Marketplace and eBay collections that cross the Pennines. Packing earns its place when a load has to be carried rather than wheeled, and long distance removals run from here on a dedicated van.
