Why Knaresborough customers book us
The historic core is a specialist job. The streets around the Market Place and the castle are double-yellowed with very limited waiting, the riverside and castle-side cottages have no off-street access at all, and a long carry up a flight of stone steps is routine rather than bad luck. Wednesday is the day to avoid if you have a choice: the market takes the Market Place from half past seven until three and removes the only realistic loading space in the centre.
Away from the gorge it is a completely different town. Stockwell and Eastfield are inter-war and post-war semis, Aspin is family estates from the sixties through the eighties, and Grimbald Crag and Scriven are newer housing with drives and room to turn a van round. Those load off the doorstep like anywhere else. The thing to watch wherever you are is the river: High Bridge and Low Bridge are the only crossings in town, and if one is shut the other backs up.
Knaresborough sits at the outer edge of what we cover, and we would rather say so than pretend otherwise. It is twenty-two miles from Bradford, up the A658 through Apperley Bridge, Yeadon and Pool-in-Wharfedale and round the Harrogate southern bypass, which is three quarters of an hour on a good run. There is no travel surcharge for it, but it is planned as a booked slot rather than squeezed in an hour after you call.

Frequently asked questions: man with a van in Knaresborough
Can the van get down to a cottage on Waterside?
Usually not to the door. Waterside, Kirkgate and Water Bag Bank are steep, narrow and partly setted, so we stop at the nearest point that is safe and legal and carry from there, often up steps. Give us the address when you book and we will tell you honestly where the van will end up sitting.
We are moving on a Wednesday. Is that a problem in the centre?
It can be. The market has the Market Place from 7.30am to 3pm and that is the only real loading space for central properties, so we either start early and are clear before it sets up, or we shuttle from the Conyngham Hall or Chapel Street car parks.
Is there a surcharge for coming out to Knaresborough?
No. You pay on the time and distance of the job itself, the same as anywhere else. Knaresborough is at the far edge of our area though, so it is booked as a planned slot with the travel allowed for, not taken on at an hour's notice.
