Setts, three storeys and the barrow up from Sun Street

The Bronte Village car park off Sun Street is the one to aim for, because it takes a Transit without a height barrier in the way and it sits at the bottom of the climb. From there an appliance goes up on a trolley over setts, which is slower and noisier than it sounds and needs two people on anything with a compressor in it. Weekends and event days are not worth attempting at all, since the car parks fill early and the coaches take whatever is left.

The cottages are the second problem. Three-storey weavers' houses off Main Street and Changegate often have living space above and the kitchen below, a staircase built for people rather than for fridge freezers, and no rear yard to bring anything through. A unit that measured fine in a showroom can still be a few inches too deep for the turn at the top of those stairs, so send a photo and a measurement before you order rather than after.

What Haworth appliance delivery & removal usually involves

The Bronte Village car park has no height barrier, which makes it where the van sits for a village-centre delivery
Tourist traffic and the Bronte and 1940s weekend events choke the village and fill the car parks early, so those dates get a morning slot or another day
Lanes out to Stanbury and Lumbfoot are walled to the kerb and rely on passing places, so we go slowly and never try to turn a loaded LWB where there is no room
We move and place appliances, and can put a washing machine's cold feed and waste hose back on where the fittings are standard. Electrics are for an electrician, and gas connections are Gas Safe work only
Old appliances stay with you. We can carry one out to a yard or another room, but taking it away, recycling it or disposing of it is not something we offer

What it costs

A Haworth appliance delivery is priced on the carry, and in the village centre that carry is up a setted street on a trolley, which is the main thing that changes the time. There's no travel surcharge for coming to Haworth 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 Haworth

Can you deliver a fridge freezer to a Main Street cottage?

Yes, but not off the tailgate. We park at Bronte Village off Sun Street and bring it up the setts on a trolley with two people. It takes longer than a normal delivery and we would rather quote it that way from the start than surprise you on the day.

Do you come out to Stanbury and Oxenhope?

Regularly. The lanes out that way are narrow and walled with passing places rather than room to turn, so we plan the approach and the exit before setting off. Converted barns and farmhouses are usually easier at the door than a village-centre cottage once we get there.

How do I get the fridge ready for the day?

Empty it, defrost the freezer section a full 24 hours ahead with towels down, wipe it dry, and take out or tape the glass shelves. Tape the doors shut. Our guide on preparing a washing machine or fridge for moving covers transit bolts and settling times too.
