Through the front room to the kitchen in a Preston terrace

Terraced houses in Deepdale, Plungington and around Lane Ends in Ashton put the kitchen at the back, so a new washer travels the length of the house on a sack truck. The front step, the door between the two rooms and a sofa in the way all slow it down, and pushing the furniture to one side beforehand saves a lot of lifting. If your row has a back alley and the yard gate opens wide, the machine may go in that way instead, so mention it.

Semis in Fulwood, Ingol or Cottam are simpler, as the van can stand on the drive a few steps from the door. The work stops at standing the appliance in place: no plumbing, no wiring, no gas, and dishwashers and cookers are not carried. We do not move tall or American-style fridge-freezers in Preston. Your old machine stays at the house; Preston City Council's bulky household waste collection accepts fridges and freezers for a fee.

Spec sheets, old machines and settling time: Preston appliance prep

Compare the machine's width and depth on the spec sheet with your narrowest door
In a Plungington or Lane Ends terrace, have the old washer unplumbed and pulled clear of its gap first
In a through-lounge terrace, push the sofa back so a sack truck can pass from the front door to the kitchen
Once a fridge freezer reaches your Deepdale, Ashton or Cottam kitchen, let it stand for the time in the maker's leaflet before plugging in
If Currys offers only a kerbside drop, collect it with the van instead and have it carried indoors

Weight, steps and doors: a Preston appliance price

The weight of the machine, the steps and doorways on the way to the kitchen and the distance from the shop or seller give the figure, and it is agreed before the van collects. See how we quote for the full breakdown.

Appliance Delivery in Preston: your questions

Will the driver plumb in the washing machine?

No. The driver carries it in and sets it in the gap where it will live. Hoses are for you or a plumber, and anything gas or hard-wired is for a qualified engineer.

What do I do with my old washing machine in Preston?

It stays with you, because only the new machine travels. Preston City Council runs a paid bulky household waste collection, or ask the shop when you buy whether it will collect the old one.

Can you collect a fridge freezer from Currys at Deepdale?

Yes, a standard one, once the order is ready to collect. Send the order number and your Preston address, and it comes straight to your kitchen.

Do you deliver cookers or dishwashers?

No. Cookers, dishwashers and anything on gas are outside the service; washing machines, tumble dryers and standard-height fridge freezers are inside it.
