Why Ossett customers book us
Coal was worked here from the fourteenth century until the late 1960s, at pits like Old Roundwood, Haigh Moor and Pildacre, and the terraced rows around Gawthorpe were built for the men who worked them. Those houses are stone, tight at the stairhead, and they open straight onto the pavement with right-angle junctions between the rows. We walk the route before anything comes out, and the trolley does the pavement work.
Most of the modern estate building has gone into South Ossett, up the hill above the town, and a fair share of local moves are short hops out of the centre's terraces into those newer houses. Storrs Hill Road is the direct way up and it is steep and narrow enough that a loaded long wheelbase Transit is better going the long way round. It costs ten minutes and saves the load.
Parking is unusually kind for a van here, with free bays around the Market Place and on Ventnor Way, so on a Wednesday or Thursday an Ossett job is one of the easier ones in the district. Down at Healey and Flushdyke the lanes drop into the valley and are still worked by lorries serving Ings Mill and Burmatex, so we time arrivals around them rather than meeting one head-on.
Man and van services we offer in Ossett
Around WF5 we are most often booked for house removals out of the centre's stone terraces into the newer South Ossett estates, Facebook Marketplace and eBay collections, and furniture delivery where a piece has to come up a step straight off the pavement. Business deliveries to Sandbeds, Silkwood Park and the Flushdyke estates are regular work, and packing can be added if you would rather not box it up yourself.

Frequently asked questions: man with a van in Ossett
Can you move on an Ossett market day?
Yes, but we plan around it. The market takes the Market Place all day Tuesday and Friday, and close to forty traders fill the space in front of the Town Hall, so the kerb you were counting on is gone. A Wednesday or Thursday slot is far easier for a long load; if it has to be a market day, we start early.
Our house is in South Ossett, up Storrs Hill Road. Is that a problem?
Not a problem, just a route choice. Storrs Hill Road is a steep, narrow climb and a fully loaded long wheelbase Transit is happier taking the longer way round. Tell us the street when you book and we will work out the approach and where the van can sit legally while we load.
Do you cover Gawthorpe, Flushdyke and the trading estates?
Yes. Gawthorpe and the terraced rows around it, Healey and Flushdyke down in the valley, and the estates at Sandbeds, Silkwood Park and Ashley Industrial Estate are all standard Ossett work. There is no travel surcharge from Bradford, whichever end of the WF5 area you are in.
