A washing machine through the front room to a back kitchen in BB9

On the grid of streets off Colne Road, such as Commercial Street, William Street and Hartington Street, the van can rarely reach the back of a house, so an appliance comes in through the front. That means across the front room, through the middle door and into the kitchen, and on a terrace the kitchen gap is often snug. Measure the gap and the narrowest doorway on the way; a standard washing machine is about 60cm wide, a large fridge freezer can be wider.

If the machine is coming from a private seller, ask them to fit the transit bolts back into a washing machine before collection, and to empty and switch off a fridge freezer the night before. A fridge freezer that stands taller than about 1.6m has to be checked before booking, so send the model or the height. We do not touch gas, electrics or dishwasher plumbing; those need a fitter.
