Steps to the door on the Huddersfield hillsides, and the kitchen beyond
The hillside streets west of the centre were laid out for people on foot, and their kitchens show it: a back room a step down from the hall, a door at right angles and a gap sized for an older, narrower machine. Measure the gap, the tightest door and the number of outside steps, and send them with the model number. The load space is 1.7m high, and tall or American-style fridge freezers are not something the van takes.
Landlords with shared houses in Springwood, Marsh and Birkby can need a replacement machine quickly when one fails in the middle of term. Send the address, the tenant's number and the access, and the machine goes in on the trolley and is stood in the gap. Connecting it up is for you or a plumber, and anything gas or hard-wired is for a Gas Safe engineer or an electrician.
What to check before a new machine comes up your Huddersfield steps
- Send the step count, the gap width and the narrowest doorway with photos and both postcodes
- Great Northern Retail Park has a shared car park, so a store collection there is loaded off the street
- On a Paddock or Golcar lane with no turning room, say which end the van should come in from
- The machine is placed in the gap; plumbing in, wiring and gas work are not part of the job
- For a student let, tell the tenant the time and send us their number in case the door is not answered

What decides the cost of a Huddersfield appliance delivery
The steps, the carry from where the van can stop, and the size of the machine drive the price far more than the distance. The figure is fixed and agreed with you before anything is loaded. See how we quote for the full breakdown.
Appliance Delivery in Huddersfield: your questions
Will a new washing machine fit through a terrace doorway?
Usually, but measure the narrowest point, which is often the turn from the hall rather than the front door, and send it with the machine's width and depth. Tall or American-style fridge freezers are not moved at all.
Do you connect the washing machine?
No. It is carried in, the packaging is left with you and the machine is stood where it will go, but connecting it is a job for you or a plumber. Ask the retailer to leave the transit bolts in the box so a later move is easier.
Do you remove the machine I am replacing?
No, nothing old leaves in the van. It can be carried out to the yard, the cellar or the garage so the new one goes straight in, which on a hillside saves carrying it down the steps later. Ask the retailer about take-back when you buy, or check what Kirklees Council's bulky waste service accepts.
Can the delivery go to my rental property while I am not there?
Yes, as long as the tenant or someone with a key is in to open the door and say where the machine goes. Give us their name and number when you book.
