From Stadium Way to the kitchen: a Rotherham appliance drop

Buying at Parkgate and taking it home in a car rarely works for a washer, and a store's own delivery may leave it at the front step. The van picks the machine up from the Stadium Way store, so the drive to Eastwood, Kimberworth or East Dene takes minutes. At the house, a back-kitchen terrace means a straight line through the front room and the hall, which is why the hallway needs to be clear and any rug lifted. Semis with a side path to the back door give an easier way round.

What happens at the kitchen is simple and limited. The appliance is stood in its space, and connecting it is left to you or a plumber; the driver does not plumb in washers, and dishwashers, cookers and anything gas or hard-wired are outside the service. An American-style or extra-tall fridge freezer is not something the van moves. Nothing old is taken away: Currys may offer take-back when you order, and Rotherham Council's bulky waste collection accepts electrical appliances.

Space, stand time and the old machine: a Rotherham checklist

Measure the gap under the worktop and the narrowest doorway between the street and the kitchen
Pull out and disconnect the old washer before the van arrives, or ask a plumber to
Let a fridge freezer settle upright for the time its maker recommends before plugging it in
For a Beeversleigh flat, say the floor so the lift run is planned
Send the Currys order number and collection time if the van is fetching it from Parkgate
If the old machine is going to the council, book the bulky collection for a day after the new one arrives

How a Rotherham appliance job is priced

The appliance's weight, the steps into the house and the distance from the van to the kitchen decide it, settled as one fixed figure before the collection. See how we quote for the full breakdown.
