Bringing white goods up to Pateley kitchens
An appliance is heavy and awkward on steps, and older Pateley houses have them: several High Street doorways are up stone steps, and flats above shops are reached by narrow stairs. The appliance goes on a trolley, strapped, and is carried the last stretch with care for the stone. A fridge travels upright where it fits under the 1.7m roof and should stand for a few hours before it is switched on, so plan for that on the day.
Tall fridge freezers are checked before booking: send the height or model. A washing machine needs its transit bolts in before it moves. The old machine or fridge stays with you, moved to wherever suits. North Yorkshire Council's mobile recycling centre at Bewerley Park takes fridges, freezers and large appliances on set Saturday mornings, and its bulky waste collection is the other route.

Appliance Delivery in Pateley Bridge: your questions
Can you plumb in my washing machine?
The cold feed and waste hose can be connected if the fittings are standard. Gas cookers, dishwashers and hard-wired appliances need a qualified engineer.
Will you take my old fridge away?
No. It is moved where you want it, and the council's mobile recycling centre at Bewerley Park or its bulky waste collection can take it from there.
Can you bring an American fridge freezer?
A tall one is checked before booking. Send the height or model and you will be told before the day.
