Appliance Delivery in Hebden Bridge

Galley kitchens, steep steps and utility sheds: appliances in Hebden Bridge

The stone houses here were built with small kitchens, and a modern fridge freezer is often bigger than the space the builders had in mind. In an over-and-under the kitchen may be at the back of the lower home, reached by steps down from the street, a door and then a short passage. The machine goes down one step at a time, strapped to the trolley, with blankets on any corner that could touch a wall. A photo of the approach from the road shows which way it goes and how long it will take.

Up at Old Town, Blackshaw Head and Pecket Well the job changes. If the washer or a chest freezer lives in an outbuilding or a back porch, the carry is short, but the lane decides where the van can stop. On the valley floor near Hebden Water, if your kitchen was refitted after a flood, check the height under the worktop, because it may not match the old machine. Once delivered, a fridge or freezer should settle for a few hours before it is switched on.

Getting ready for a new machine in a Hebden Bridge kitchen

• Measure the gap, including the height under the worktop, and the narrowest point on the way in
• In an over-and-under, say whether the kitchen is reached from the upper street or down the steps from the lower one, because the van is parked for that street
• Turn off the water and unplug the old machine the night before, so the space can be cleared quickly
• Connecting the new machine is for you or a plumber once it is in place; electrical and gas work is for a qualified electrician or a Gas Safe engineer
• On Heptonstall's setted main street the van stops where it can turn, so allow for the machine being wheeled the last stretch to the cottage
• Tall and American-style fridge freezers are not moved, so check the height on the product sheet before you order

The steps and which way they run count most, then the size and weight of the machine. There is no travel surcharge for Hebden Bridge, so the drive up the valley adds nothing on top. See how we quote for the full breakdown.
