Appliance Delivery in Silsden

Front rooms and back kitchens: appliances into Silsden terraces

The nineteenth-century terraces that spread west of Kirkgate were built for mill workers, with small back yards rather than rear drives. That usually means a washing machine or fridge freezer goes in at the front door, across the living room and through to a kitchen at the back. The trolley does the carrying and blankets go down over the carpet. A wide range cooker should be measured against the narrowest door frame before it is ordered, because it may not fit through at all. Mention any step up from the pavement, because a heavy machine is lifted over it rather than rolled.

The newer estate houses are the opposite job. A drive, a level path and a wide kitchen door mean the appliance is usually in position within minutes of the van stopping. Either way the delivery ends in the kitchen, not on the doorstep. Connecting it up is not part of the job: plumbing in a washer is one for you or a plumber, a gas cooker needs a Gas Safe engineer, and a hard-wired electric cooker needs an electrician.

Before a new washer or fridge arrives at a Silsden address

• Measure the front door, any inner door and the kitchen gap, then send the figures with a photo of the way through
• In a terrace west of Kirkgate, clear a path across the front room, since that is the only way through to a back kitchen
• For a flat at Airedale Mews or North Mill, ask the managing agent whether the lift will take an appliance and where the van can stand
• If your current washing machine is moving house with you, its transit bolts go back in first, so keep them if you still have them
• The old machine can be shifted to the garage or another room, but it stays at the property
• Once it is in place, leave a fridge or freezer standing for a few hours before switching it on
