Why Silsden customers book us
In the core, everything comes out through the front door onto a narrow pavement. Kirkgate is the main shopping street, parked on both sides and tight for a van carrying a 3.4 metre load, and Briggate and Elliott Street are tighter again. The Leeds and Liverpool Canal runs straight through the middle of town, and the road bridges over it are real pinch points, so we choose an approach rather than follow the satnav into one.
Parking is the other constraint. The two council car parks are small, fifteen spaces at Bridge Street and thirty-nine at Wesley Place beside the main bus stop, both pay-and-display Monday to Saturday through the day and free on Sundays and bank holidays. For a Kirkgate address that usually means a short stop right outside with the route walked first, and a Sunday booking is often the calmest way to do it.
Brunthwaite, High Brunthwaite and Swartha are a different problem again. The lanes climbing towards Rombalds Moor are single-track with passing places and no turning space for a long wheelbase van, so we work out where it stops and where it turns before setting off. Cringles and the new-build edges are far simpler. We come up the A650 through Shipley, Bingley and Keighley, then the A629, in about half an hour.

Frequently asked questions: man with a van in Silsden
Can the van get up to Brunthwaite?
Yes, with planning. The lanes up towards Rombalds Moor are single-track with passing places and nowhere to turn a long wheelbase van round, so we decide in advance where it stops, where it turns and which way it leaves. Give us the address when you book and we will work it out before the day.
Is there a surcharge for coming out to Silsden from Bradford?
No. Silsden is inside our normal covered area and there is no travel surcharge anywhere in it. The run up the A650 and A629 takes thirty to forty minutes, and the price is agreed and fixed before the job starts, so the drive does not turn into an extra line on the bill.
Can you take the old sofa or washing machine away when you bring the new one?
Yes. When we deliver a new sofa, bed or appliance we can carry the old one out on the same visit and take it away, and old appliances go to a household waste recycling centre. That is item take-away alongside a delivery, though: we are not a house clearance or rubbish removal service.
