Through the front room to the back kitchen: appliances in Chorley
Most terraces east of the railway put the kitchen at the rear, so a new washer travels from the pavement, over the front step, across the lounge and through an inner door before it reaches its gap. Sack truck and straps make that steady, but a sofa or coffee table in the way slows it. Pushing them aside beforehand helps. On Buckshaw Village and in Astley Village most houses have a drive, so the van stands close and the carry is short and level.
The work finishes once the appliance stands in its space. Hoses, wiring and gas are left to you or a tradesperson. Dishwashers and cookers are outside the service. A tall or American-style fridge-freezer is not moved for a Chorley kitchen. An old machine is not taken away; Chorley Council lifts a single large item for £24.50 on its Monday and Friday rounds, and some shops will take the old one when you order the new.
Before the washer arrives: a Chorley kitchen checklist
- Compare the machine's width on its spec sheet with the narrowest inner door in the house
- Have the old machine pulled out and disconnected by the day
- Move rugs and small furniture off the route to the kitchen
- Leave a fridge freezer standing for the time its maker advises before switching on
- If the retailer only drops at the kerb, book the van to collect from the store instead

What sets the price of a Chorley appliance job
How heavy the machine is, the number of steps and doorways to the kitchen and the distance from the store or seller make up the figure, which you have before the collection. See how we quote for the full breakdown.
Appliance Delivery in Chorley: your questions
Will the driver plumb in the washing machine?
No, plumbing is not part of the job. The washer is set down in its space; fitting the hoses is for you or a plumber, and gas or hard-wired items need a qualified engineer.
What happens to my old washing machine in Chorley?
It stays with you, as only the new one travels in the van. Chorley Council's large item collection can be booked online for it, or check with the retailer what it offers for old machines when you order.
Can you fetch an order from Currys at Middlebrook?
Yes, as soon as the store says it is ready. Send the order reference and your Chorley address and it is brought straight to your kitchen.
Do you deliver cookers or dishwashers?
No. Cookers, dishwashers and anything gas are not carried. A washer, a tumble dryer or a standard-height fridge freezer is fine.
