Operating a fully equipped Ford Transit Long Wheelbase (LWB) van, we offer flexible solutions for house moves, single-item transport, business deliveries and courier service in Ilkley.
Why Ilkley customers book us
Ilkley's housing is largely Victorian and Edwardian, tall houses with wide doors and high ceilings that make furniture easier to move out, but with three floors of stairs, long front paths and, in the centre, permit-only parking. We protect banisters and floors, blanket-wrap everything, and arrange loading positions in advance so we're not blocking Brook Street on a Saturday. Ben Rhydding, Middleton and the roads up towards the Cow and Calf have big detached homes and long drives; Addingham, Burley-in-Wharfedale and Menston are village moves with their own quirks.
Downsizing moves are a speciality in Wharfedale. Often that means splitting a house three ways, some to the new home, some to family across the country, some to a charity shop, and we'll happily plan a day that does all three. Antiques, pianos, artwork and large mirrors get the extra padding and slow driving they need.
Ilkley to Leeds, Bradford, Harrogate and Skipton are all standard local runs, and Ilkley to London and the south, common for families and downsizers, goes on our dedicated-van nationwide service.

Frequently asked questions: man with a van in Ilkley
Can you handle antiques and pianos in Ilkley?
Yes, with notice. Upright pianos, antiques, artwork and large mirrors get extra padding, strapping and a slower drive. Send photos when you enquire and we'll plan the handling.
Do you help with downsizing moves?
Yes. We can split a house between the new home, family elsewhere and a charity shop in one planned day, and we'll do the long-distance leg to family too.
Our street in Ilkley is permit parking, how do you load?
We'll advise on your particular street. Short loading stops are usually fine; if a dispensation is needed we'll tell you how to arrange it in advance.
Do you cover Addingham, Burley and Menston?
Yes, the whole of Wharfedale from Addingham down to Otley, Guiseley and Menston is standard coverage.
