Paint stripping in Shelley.
The local stock
Shelley is a hilltop village above the Dearne and Fenay valleys, and most of it is gritstone — Victorian weavers' cottages along Far Bank and Huddersfield Road, larger stone-built houses up toward the conservation area, and a scatter of old farmsteads on the lanes out to Shepley and Emley. The original woodwork is heavy: four-panel pine and oak-stained doors, deep skirtings, and the odd cast-iron range still sitting in a farmhouse kitchen. We're proud sponsors of Shelley FC, the open-age football team, so the village is one we know well.
How we serve Shelley
Shelley is a short run over from the workshop via Kirkburton. Most villagers drop a single door, a fireplace insert or a small table at Crossley Mills, and we collect the heavier pieces — dining suites, full sets of doors, banisters — on the van.
Common questions
About paint stripping in Shelley.
Do you collect paint stripping jobs from Shelley?
Yes. For larger items — a dining suite, a full set of internal doors, a staircase — Daniel collects from Shelley most weeks on the van. Smaller pieces like a single door or a few chairs are usually dropped at the Crossley Mills workshop in Honley, around fifteen minutes away.
How much does door stripping cost in Shelley?
Every door is quoted after we see the paint build-up and condition. A standard four-panel pine internal door starts from £60 to strip and neutralise; heavier external or stained-oak doors are £80–£95. Call 01484 666 333 for a same-week estimate.
Aren't you the team that sponsors Shelley FC?
We are — Double Dipper sponsors the Shelley open-age football team. If you've seen us on the kit and have a door, fireplace or piece of furniture that needs stripping back, give Daniel a ring on 01484 666 333.

Skelmanthorpe
Skelmanthorpe is a textile village strung along the ridge between Denby Dale and Scissett. The housing is classic West Yorkshire: long terraces of stone weavers' cottages with their tell-tale upper-floor loom windows, plus solid Victorian semis along Commercial Road. Behind the gloss paint on those cottage doors there's almost always original pine, and the old fireplaces are often cast iron boarded up since the 1960s.
Emley
Emley sits high on the moor edge under the famous Emley Moor mast, and it's a proper old stone village — the conservation area around the church and the Green is full of seventeenth- and eighteenth-century cottages, with working farmsteads on the lanes out toward Emley Moor and Flockton. The woodwork tends to be older and heavier than the valley terraces: solid plank doors, oak lintels, flagged floors and the occasional original kitchen range.
Huddersfield
Huddersfield is stone terraces, end-to-end. Victorian mill workers' cottages off Leeds Road, Georgian semis around Edgerton, and a townhouse belt in Lindley and Marsh. Most have original four-panel doors and stained floorboards that have been painted over more times than anyone can count. Cast-iron fireplaces are everywhere too — often boarded up behind a 1970s gas fire and only discovered when the chimney breast comes out.
