Back kitchens, lift cars and setts: how Stockport appliances get indoors

In a Victorian terrace such as those in Edgeley the kitchen is normally at the back, so a new washer travels through the front room to reach it. The sack truck needs a clear line from the doorstep to the back wall, and on Bombay Road or Calcutta Road it first has to cross cobbles from wherever the van found a gap. A coffee table or a pushchair in the way adds minutes; moving them before the driver knocks takes none.

Tower blocks on Lancashire Hill and in Brinnington are a question of the lift, because a fridge freezer, shorter than the van's 1.7m roof, travels upright and cannot lie flat in the lift car. Houses in Offerton and the Heatons have more room in the hall and less to step round. Connection is never part of the job, so there is no plumbing, no wiring and no gas work, and dishwashers and cookers are not moved. Stockport Council collects an old machine as an electrical item.

Doors, hoses and the gap: ready for a Stockport appliance

• Measure each doorway on the way to the kitchen against the depth on the box, as some SK3 terrace doors are narrow
• Disconnect and drain the old washer yourself, then pull it clear of the gap
• Leave a clear run from the front step to the kitchen, chairs and toys out of the way
• Leave a fridge or freezer standing for as long as its maker says before it goes on
• Where the retailer only drops at the kerb, have the van collect from the store instead
