A back kitchen in a pit terrace, or a newer kitchen at Wingreen Way

In the terraces around Station Lane, the kitchen is usually at the back, so the machine goes through the front room on a trolley with door frames protected along the way. In newer homes such as those on Wingreen Way or Larkspur Drive the hallway is straighter, but a dishwasher-sized gap under a worktop still needs measuring. The van is 1.7m high inside, so a standard fridge freezer stands in it, and a tall one is checked before booking.

On a washing machine, the cold feed and the waste hose are connected where the fittings are standard. Dishwashers, cookers and anything gas or hard-wired need a plumber, electrician or Gas Safe engineer. The old appliance is not taken: ask the retailer about take-back, book Wakefield Council's bulky item collection, or drop it yourself at the Glasshoughton or South Kirkby recycling centre.
