Retractable Awnings Across Ilkley and the LS29 Postcode
The reason cassette-style retractable awnings beat open-arm awnings in Ilkley is the fabric survives the winter without fading or fouling — the whole assembly retracts inside a sealed aluminium housing when it's not in use.

Frequently asked questions
How wide can a retractable awning go on my Ilkley home?
Cassette systems go up to about 7m wide from a single wall fix, with projections up to 4m. Bigger areas use coupled cassettes.
Will it survive Ilkley wind?
With a wind sensor, yes — the awning retracts automatically above its rated wind speed. We tune the sensor to your specific exposure, not a factory default.
Can it be operated from an app?
Yes — motorised as standard, remote-controlled, with optional Wi-Fi bridge for phone control on both Weinor and Markilux systems.
Do you install on rendered Ilkley walls?
Yes — we probe through the render at survey stage and fix into masonry only. The render itself is never load-bearing on our installs.
Do you cover Skipton?
Yes — Skipton sits 9 miles from Ilkley and installs on the same schedule.
