Why Todmorden customers book us
Be honest about the run and the day works. Allow close to an hour each way; the Hebden Bridge to Todmorden stretch was shut for more than a day in Storm Bert, and the valley flooded in 2012, on Boxing Day 2015 and again in Storm Ciara. So we watch the forecast and would rather move a booking than set off into a road that is about to close. The rate is the same as anywhere else we cover, it is the timing that needs the planning.
The houses are like nowhere else on our patch. The town is full of top-and-bottom terraces, one dwelling stacked on another and entered from a different street, so the front door is frequently nowhere near the level the van is on, with a flight of stone steps between the two. Weavers' cottages with long mullioned windows have narrow winding stairs that a wardrobe simply will not go up, and we say so before the day rather than halfway through it.
Moving about the town takes local knowledge. The lanes up to Lydgate, Cornholme, Mankinholes and Lumbutts are steep, single-track in places and hairpinned tighter than a loaded long wheelbase Transit will swing in one go. There are low rail and canal bridges around Gauxholme and Walsden to work round, and on market days the market ground and the streets near it are solid, so we start early or load from the car parks off Halifax Road.
Man and van services we offer in Todmorden
Todmorden work is mostly house removals from stone terraces, furniture and large item transport where the staircase will not take it, packing the day before so everything goes out in one run, student moves out to Manchester, Leeds and Burnley, and long distance moves over the Pennines and beyond.

Frequently asked questions: man with a van in Todmorden
How far ahead should we book?
Further ahead than for a Halifax or Brighouse job. Todmorden is twenty-one miles of slow A-road from us, so it goes in the diary as a planned slot with the travel built in, and we cannot usually turn up the same afternoon. A few days' notice makes a full house move much easier to schedule properly.
Do you charge extra for the distance?
No. There is no travel surcharge for Todmorden or Walsden, you pay on the time and distance of the job itself. What the distance changes is how the booking is planned, not the rate.
Our house is a top-and-bottom with the door on the upper street. Does that matter?
It matters for planning, not for whether we will take it on. Tell us which street the door is on and roughly how many steps there are, and we will work out where the van sits and which way the load travels. It is the most common access question in the town.
