Back kitchens and tower block lifts: appliances into Salford homes
In a Seedley, Langworthy or Weaste terrace the kitchen is often at the back of the house, so a washer on a sack truck has to clear the step, an inner door and the furniture in between. Moving a chair or two out of the way first saves time. A standard fridge freezer goes in upright and should stand for the time its maker recommends before it is switched on.
In a Quays or Pendleton tower the lift does the heavy part, but a washer still needs the goods lift booked where the building asks. The driver does no plumbing, wiring or gas work, and dishwashers, cookers and tall or American-style fridge freezers are not moved. The old machine stays with you: Salford City Council collects white goods at £52.50 for the first item.
Space, doors and settling time: getting a Salford kitchen ready
- Measure the front door and any inner door of a Seedley or Weaste terrace against the machine's width
- Have the old machine pulled out and disconnected by you or a plumber before the van comes over from Bradford
- Move chairs and rugs out of the line from the front door to the back kitchen
- Leave a fridge freezer to settle for the time on its instructions before switching it on
- At Imperial Point, City Lofts or another Quays tower, book the goods lift for the delivery slot

Appliance Delivery in Salford: your questions
Will the driver plumb in the washing machine?
No. It is carried in and set in its space, and the driver stops there. Connecting it is for you or a plumber, and gas or hard-wired items need a qualified engineer.
Can you move an American-style fridge freezer?
Tall or American-style fridge-freezers are not moved to or from any Salford address. A fridge freezer shorter than the 1.7m roof travels upright.
What do I do with the old washer in Salford?
Book it with the council. Salford City Council collects white goods for £52.50 for the first electrical item.
Is a dishwasher or cooker something you deliver?
Neither is offered, and nor is any gas appliance. Washers, tumble dryers and standard fridge freezers make up this service.
