Washers and fridge freezers into Horbury kitchens
If the kitchen in one of the old stone houses at the top of the hill is at the back, or a step down, the machine has to travel through the house to reach it. The town slopes towards the river, so a front door can be uphill or downhill of the kerb, and a heavy machine on a trolley needs a clear path. Measure the gap, the narrowest doorway on the way and the space to turn, and send them with the model number.
Semis on the northern estates and the newer houses at Horbury Bridge usually have drives and fitted kitchens, which makes the carry quick but the gap exact. Where the taps and waste pipe are standard fittings, the washer's cold feed and waste hose are connected up again. Electrics, dishwashers, cookers and anything gas are for a qualified fitter. A tall fridge freezer is checked from photos before booking.
Before a new machine reaches a Horbury kitchen
- Measure the gap, the tightest doorway and any step down into the kitchen
- Leave the transit bolts in a new washing machine until it is in place
- Drain and unplug the old machine before the van arrives and move it out of the space
- Send the height of a fridge freezer with photos so it can be checked before booking
- Old appliances stay with you; the council's bulky collection and the Denby Dale Road recycling centre take them

What an appliance delivery in Horbury costs
The weight of the machine, the steps and doorways between the van and the gap, and the distance from where it is collected set the time. The fixed price is agreed before the van sets off. See how we quote for the full breakdown.
Appliance Delivery in Horbury: your questions
Can you plumb the washing machine in?
Where the fittings are standard, the cold feed and waste hose can be reconnected. Nothing beyond that: no new plumbing, no electrics, and nothing gas.
What happens to the old washing machine?
It stays with you. The council's bulky collection takes washers and fridges from households for a charge, or you can take it to the recycling centre on Denby Dale Road with a permit.
Can a fridge freezer go into an upstairs flat?
Usually, if the stairs are wide enough to turn. Send the height and width of the fridge and the stair width, and it is checked before you book.
