From the shop to a Cleckheaton kitchen, strapped and trolleyed in
Appliances come off the van on a trolley and go in through the front door, because many of the older terraces here have no rear access for a van. Send a photo of the route to the gap, including any step down into the kitchen, and we can tell you before the day whether the route works. Tall and American-style fridge freezers are not moved; the van has 1.7m of internal height.
Newer semis on the edges of town often have a drive, so the van can reverse close and the trolley has a short, level run to the door. Stone terraces are harder: a front step, a narrow hall and sometimes a step down into the back kitchen, so the machine is walked through slowly with the doorframes watched. A fridge or freezer should stand for a few hours at the new address before it is switched on, longer if the manual says so. The appliance is set in its space and nothing is connected: gas needs a Gas Safe engineer, and plumbing goes to a plumber or yourself.
Getting a Cleckheaton kitchen ready for a new appliance
- Measure the gap and the narrowest door on the way to it
- Terrace in Moorend or Moorbottom: note the front step, the hall width and any step down into the back kitchen
- Switch off and drain the old washer, and turn the water off at the valve
- Collecting from Birstall or a Bradford retail park: have the order number and the store's collection note ready
- Line up your own plumber for after the delivery; the driver sets the machine in its space and connects nothing

Appliance Delivery in Cleckheaton: your questions
Do you take the old washing machine away?
No. It can go into the garage, the yard or out to the kerb for Kirklees Council's bulky waste service (check what it takes), but it does not go in the van.
Can you connect a gas cooker or plumb in the washer?
No. Gas has to be connected by a Gas Safe engineer, and the driver does not plumb in or wire up any appliance, so line up your own fitter for after the delivery.
Will a fridge freezer get through a Moorend terrace door?
Measure its depth and the narrowest doorway between the front door and the kitchen, and send those with a photo of the hall. Tall and American-style fridge freezers are not moved, so this is for standard models only.
Do you deliver appliances bought second-hand?
Yes. Send the listing and the seller's postcode; it is checked against the photos on collection and brought into your kitchen.
