A washer from Racecourse Retail Park to a Pontefract kitchen

Racecourse Retail Park sits off Park Road with its own car park, so a boxed washer or fridge freezer is loaded quickly once the order is ready. The drive into town is short. What varies is the kitchen. Houses on the Prince of Wales estate tend to have fitted kitchens with exact housings, so send the width, depth and height of the space. Older terraces west of the centre often have a step down into the kitchen and a narrow door.

A washing machine's cold feed and waste hose can be reconnected where the fittings are standard. That is the limit: no electrics, no plumbing in, nothing gas, and dishwashers and cookers are left for a fitter. The old machine is not taken off by the van. Drain and unplug it, and it can be moved to the yard or garage; Wakefield Council's bulky collection service takes washers and fridges, or ask the retailer about take-back.
