Direct van runs in and out of Nidderdale

The drive from Bradford is 50 to 65 minutes each way, so a same-day job here is planned around time on the road. Ring early with the collection address, the drop and what the item is, and you will hear straight away whether the diary can take it. Typical loads are the kind a car will not carry: a piece of furniture for a buyer, display stands, boxed stock or a dismantled bed.

Collection in the town is quick on the closes and slower on High Street, which is the main road and busy with shoppers. A trader on King Street or near the workshops can have the load at the door ready to go. For a drop on the west bank, Street Lane and Low Wath Road are the roads in. The van is 3.4m long inside, so long items lie flat and strapped.
