From the store counter to a Mirfield kitchen gap
Appliances for WF14 often come from the retail parks at Birstall or along Leeds Road in Huddersfield, or from a store that will not deliver for a week. The van collects against your order number, straps the machine upright, and brings it down the A644. On the valley floor round Newgate the terraces are level, but the kerb is often full, so the van may stop a few doors along and the machine finishes the journey on the sack truck. Back kitchens in those houses tend to be narrow, and the depth of a fridge is what snags on the turn.
Higher up, the job changes. Houses at Upper Hopton, Battyeford and Roe Head are more likely to have a drive, so the carry is short, but the kitchen can sit beyond a utility room or down a step. The machine is placed in the gap you have measured and the packaging is left with you. Connecting it is not part of the job: a washer goes in for you or your plumber to hook up, and a gas cooker needs a Gas Safe engineer. A tall or American fridge-freezer is one thing this van does not move.
Getting a WF14 kitchen ready before the machine arrives
- Measure the gap and the narrowest doorway, and on a Newgate terrace check the back-kitchen door, which is often the tightest point
- If the house is up at Upper Hopton or Battyeford, say whether there are steps between the drive and the back door
- Disconnect and pull out the old machine yourself before the day, so the new one goes straight in
- Have the store's order number and collection time ready for the counter at Birstall or Huddersfield
- Connection is for you or a plumber, and a gas cooker always needs a Gas Safe engineer

Appliance Delivery in Mirfield: your questions
Can you bring a new washer the day the old one dies?
Short notice is possible when the diary allows. Send the store's collection details and your Mirfield address and you will hear the earliest free slot.
Will you plumb the washing machine in?
No. The machine is carried in, unboxed if you want, and stood in front of its gap. Connecting the hoses is for you or a plumber.
Can the old fridge go back with you?
No, nothing old leaves in our van. It can be moved to the yard or garage for you, and the store's take-back scheme or Kirklees Council's bulky waste collection can deal with it.
Does a fridge need to stand before it is switched on?
Yes. Leave it upright for a few hours after the delivery so the oil settles, then switch on. The maker's leaflet gives the exact time.
