Appleby is home. The yard is on Cross Croft.
Dinsdale Contracts works nationwide from Cross Croft Industrial Estate in Appleby-in-Westmorland. For Appleby and the Eden Valley, that makes us the surfacing contractor at the end of the road.
The firm has been part of the Eden Valley since 1981, when it started with a single six wheeler tipper wagon. The plant, the wagons and the office are all in Appleby, which means local work is priced without travel padding and programmed around weather windows we watch from our own windows.
For Appleby itself and the villages up and down the valley, we handle tarmac driveways, farm roads and entrances, yard and hardstanding construction, planings supply for tracks, and the operated sweeper for anything from a silted farm road to a post-works clean. Farms are a speciality of geography: we know what a Cumbrian winter and a dairy herd do to concrete and asphalt.
Larger contracts run from here too. The NHSS 16 & 23 certified surfacing crews, the planer and the tipper fleet all work out of Cross Croft, so an Appleby employer or the county council gets the same capability that travels to airports and city schemes, without the mobilisation distance.
