Appliance Delivery in Shipley

Getting a fridge freezer through a Saltaire front room to the kitchen

Saltaire's terraces went up in the 1850s and 1860s for the workers at Titus Salt's mill, and their rooms were never planned around a modern fridge freezer. The front door opens off the street, the living room works as the corridor, and the kitchen doorway is often the tightest point on the route. So the measurements that matter are that inner doorway and the depth of the machine, not the front door. Tall and American-style fridge freezers are not moved, so those stay with the retailer's own delivery.

Out of the valley bottom the job changes. Semis at Wrose and the bigger houses in Nab Wood more often have a drive and a side or back door, so a washing machine can be wheeled almost straight in from the tailgate. Windhill's streets climb hard out of the valley, and a loaded van takes them slowly. The mill apartments on Salts Mill Road are a lift question: how big the car is, and which entrance the building wants appliances brought through.

Before a washer or fridge freezer is moved in Shipley

• A washing machine needs its water off, hoses drained and plug out before the van arrives, with the transit bolts refitted if you still have them
• The driver carries the machine to its space but does not plumb it in or wire anything; a plumber or electrician does that, and gas cookers are Gas Safe work
• Switch the freezer off and defrost it the day before, door propped and towels down, so nothing leaks in transit
• In a Saltaire or Windhill terrace, measure the kitchen doorway and the gap the machine is going into, because the inner doors are the usual pinch point
• For a Salts Mill Road apartment, tell us the floor and whether the lift can be held while the machine goes up
