Fridge freezers up shared staircases in Harrogate's converted villas

Some of the big Victorian houses around the Stray and at Harlow Hill were split into flats long ago, and the kitchen of a first or second-floor flat is reached by the original shared staircase. A washing machine is heavy but short, so it goes up on the trolley step by step. A fridge freezer is the harder job, because the half-landing ceiling is sometimes lower than it looks. Measure the headroom at the turn as well as the width.

Family houses on the northern and eastern side of town are simpler. A 1930s or post-war semi in Bilton or Starbeck usually has a drive, a side door and a kitchen at the back, so the van gets close and the carry is a few metres. What slows those jobs is the old appliance, so have it disconnected by you or your plumber before the van arrives; it stays on your property when the new one goes in.

Getting an HG kitchen ready for a new machine

• Turn off the water, drain the hoses and unplug the old machine before the van arrives
• Plumbing in is not part of the job, so book a plumber for the connection if you need one; gas cookers need a Gas Safe engineer
• American-style and tall fridge freezers are not moved by this service
• The old appliance can go to the garage or another room; North Yorkshire Council's bulky waste service is an option, so check what it takes
• For a flat in a converted villa, tell us the floor and send a photo of the staircase turn
• On a central pay-and-display street, a drop after 6pm, when charging ends, is often the easier time to stop outside
