From the kerb to the kitchen gap in a Brighouse terrace, flat or semi
The machine travels upright where it can, strapped to the side of the van and wrapped in blankets. At the house it goes into the room and, where access allows, into the gap. Measure that gap and any doorway on the way, including the one into a back kitchen, because a new model that replaces an old one can be a few centimetres deeper. We do not move tall or American fridge-freezers.
In the mill apartments around the canal basin, the lift decides the day. Some lifts take an upright fridge freezer, some do not, and a stair carry of a heavy machine is a different job. Tell us the floor and whether there is a lift when you book. For semis at Rastrick or Hove Edge the van climbs out of the town centre loaded, and the drive or path at the top usually makes the carry itself simple.
What to check before a washer or fridge arrives in Brighouse
- An old washer needs its transit bolts back in before it travels; if they have gone missing, order the right ones for that model
- Connecting the new machine is not part of the job, so book a plumber or fitter for that and have the old one unplugged and drained
- On a Bonegate or Waring Green terrace, ask a neighbour to leave the kerb outside free that morning so the trolley run is a few steps
- On Rastrick's cobbled Capel Street or Rosemary Lane, say so when booking, because the van may stop at the end of the cobbles
- Ask the building manager at a canal basin apartment whether the lift can be reserved for half an hour

Appliance Delivery in Brighouse: your questions
Can you bring a washing machine from a Huddersfield shop today?
Only when the diary allows. Send a photo of the appliance, the order details and both postcodes, and you will hear whether a same-day slot is free or when the next one is.
Do you take the old washing machine away afterwards?
No, the van does not carry old machines off. A retailer's take-back scheme or Calderdale Council's bulky waste service are the routes (check what it takes), and the old machine can be carried to the garage or front yard ready for them.
Will a fridge freezer go into a mill apartment by the canal?
Usually, if the lift takes it upright. Send the lift's internal height and door width, or a photo, and the floor number. Without a lift, a stair carry is allowed for in the price.
Will you plumb the new machine in?
No. The machine is carried in and set in its space where access allows, and a plumber or fitter does the connection afterwards.
