Frequently asked questions
For a period cottages on the moor-side lanes: will a hotel canopy add value to a Ilkley property?
It adds usable space and kerb appeal, which agents in West Yorkshire generally treat as a positive. We do not quote value uplift figures, anyone who does is guessing.
What does a hotel or venue canopy cost?
Price depends on span, heating and lighting specification and any branding requirements. We issue a fixed, written quotation after a free survey so it can be built into your capital budget.
What compliance and safety documentation do you provide?
A risk assessment, method statement and public liability confirmation are supplied ahead of any works, along with a wind-load calculation for the venue's postcode.
In LS29 specifically: do you offer servicing after the hotel canopy is installed?
Yes. Moving parts benefit from a check every couple of years, and being 6 miles from Otley means a Ilkley service call is a short trip rather than a scheduling problem.
In LS29 specifically: what happens to rainwater once the structure is up?
It has to go somewhere legal. In Ilkley we either tie into an existing gully or run to a soakaway, the outfall is identified at survey, because it decides the post positions.
