Cellar kitchens and steep steps: an appliance into a Sheffield home
In an older Walkley, Crookes or Heeley terrace the kitchen is at the back, reached through the front room or down a narrow hall, and if the washing machine lives in a cellar it goes down a tight stair. Say which room it is going to and how the stairs turn. A front door up a flight of stone steps adds a lift at each one, and that is planned before the day rather than found on it.
Fridges and freezers shorter than the 1.7m roof travel upright, strapped to the van wall. Tall or American fridge-freezers are not moved. A washing machine bought second-hand from a seller in Hillsborough or Sharrow needs its transit bolts fitted if you have them, and it must be drained and disconnected before collection. No plumbing or connection work is done, so have a plumber or a handy friend ready to fit it after the delivery.
Before an appliance comes to your Sheffield house
- Say what kind of fridge or freezer it is, so it is loaded upright and strapped
- Have the old washing machine drained and disconnected before the van arrives
- Say if the appliance is going down to a cellar, and how steep the stair is
- Send the Currys order number and collection time if it is coming from a store
- The old appliance can go on the council's bulky waste collection, which takes electrical goods

Appliance Delivery in Sheffield: your questions
Do you plumb in the washing machine?
No. The machine is delivered and placed, and connecting it is a job for you or a plumber.
Can you move an American fridge-freezer?
No, tall and American fridge-freezers are not moved. A fridge or freezer that fits under the 1.7m roof travels upright.
Can you take a washing machine down to my cellar?
Yes, if the stair is wide enough. Tell us how steep it is and whether it turns.
Do you deliver cookers or dishwashers?
No. Cookers, dishwashers and gas or hard-wired appliances are not part of the service, so the van carries washers, dryers and standard fridges.
Can you collect a fridge I bought from someone in Sharrow?
Yes. Send the seller's address and the fridge's height, and make sure it has been switched off and defrosted before the van arrives.
