Appliance Delivery in Sowerby Bridge

Steps, cellar heads and a flooded-out kitchen in HX6

On the hillside terraces off Bolton Brow, Tuel Lane and Sowerby New Road there is little room to stop, so the van stands where it legally can and the machine goes up the steps on a strapped trolley, one step at a time. Some older houses have the kitchen or utility down at cellar level, so measure the cellar door and the turn at the top of the steps before you order a full-size model.

Down on the valley floor the question is often why the machine is being replaced. Ground floors near the Wharf and along the valley road flooded on Boxing Day 2015 and again in February 2020, and after a flood the washer and fridge are usually among the first things to go. We carry the new one in and can move the damaged one outside, kept apart from what you are keeping, but it does not leave in the van.

Getting a new appliance ready for a Sowerby Bridge kitchen

• If the old machine is going to another room or out to the front, turn the water off at the valve, take the hoses off and drain it before we arrive
• The new machine is carried in and stood in place, not plumbed in: connecting it is for you or a plumber, and gas or hard-wired appliances are not handled
• A tall or American-style fridge freezer is not moved by this service. Once a standard one is in place, leave it a few hours before it is switched on
• Count the stone steps up from the road on Bolton Brow, Tuel Lane or Sowerby New Road, and say whether they turn partway up
• If the kitchen or utility is down at cellar level, measure the cellar door and the head height where the steps start
• For a flat over a Wharf Street shop there is nowhere to stop at the kerb, so the machine comes from the loading bay or a nearby car park on the trolley

What drives the price of a Sowerby Bridge appliance job

The price depends on where the appliance is collected, its size and the carry at your end: steps from the road or a cellar kitchen take longer than a ground-floor utility. It is fixed before we set off. See how we quote for the full breakdown.
