Cul-de-sac estates, apartment downsizes and the run in from Bradford

The commuter estates off Ninelands Lane and Barley Hill Road are laid out as closes and cul-de-sacs with small turning heads and cars parked on both sides. A Transit LWB will get in; whether it gets out again without a six-point turn depends on who happens to be home. With white goods that is not a trivial detail, because the gap between stopping outside the door and stopping at the mouth of the close is thirty or forty metres of pushing a washing machine.

The other regular job is a downsize: someone leaving one of the larger 1960s or 1970s estate houses for a modern apartment near Lidgett Lane, taking the fridge freezer and the washer with them. Those need the stair or the lift checked and the machine measured against the new gap, since an apartment kitchen is usually tighter than the one being left. We will move it and set it in place, and put a washing machine's cold feed and waste hose back on if the fittings are standard.

What Garforth appliance delivery & removal usually involves

Main Street has time-limited and loading-only bays with double yellows at the junctions, so central drops are planned rather than improvised
Some of the retail car parks carry height barriers a Transit LWB will not clear, so store and trade collections are arranged off the road where needed
Junctions 46 and 47 of the M1 and the A63 through town congest hard at peak, so we book around the rush in both directions
Fridges and freezers travel upright and strapped, and want a few hours standing before they are switched on at the new address
Tell us when you book and the old appliance goes out with us to a household waste recycling centre, or we can just shift it to the garage or another room

What it costs

Garforth appliance jobs are priced on time and handling, so the floor it is going to and the distance from the van to the door matter far more than the motorway miles. There's no travel surcharge for coming to Garforth from Bradford, and you get the price before we set off, not after. See how we quote for the full breakdown.

Frequently asked questions: appliance delivery & removal in Garforth

Do you charge more to come out to Garforth from Bradford?

No. It is about eighteen miles and a 35 to 50 minute run down the M62 and M1, and there is no travel surcharge anywhere in our covered area. The price is set by the time the job takes and the size of what we are carrying, not by the distance.

Can you get the van into the closes off Barley Hill Road?

Usually into the close, and often to the door if the parking allows. The turning heads are small, so tell us the postcode and we will check the layout beforehand rather than arrive and discover we are reversing a long wheelbase van back out past parked cars.

Will you plumb the washing machine in at the new flat?

Within limits, yes. We take it up, get it into the kitchen and into its gap, and where the fittings are standard we put the cold feed and the waste hose back on. The electrics are for you or an electrician. Remember to take the transit bolts out before the first wash, or the machine will destroy its own suspension.
