Appliance Delivery in Todmorden

Carrying a fridge freezer into a Todmorden top-and-bottom house

In a top-and-bottom terrace the upper home is entered from the street above and the lower one from the street below, so the kitchen you need can be two flights from wherever the van is able to stop. An appliance stays upright on the trolley for as much of that as possible, then is walked up or down the stone steps one at a time. American-style and extra-tall fridge freezers are not moved, so a standard-height model is the one to order for a carry like this.

Delivery here means carried in and stood in its space, not fitted. The hoses on a washing machine are left for you or a plumber, and dishwashers, electric cookers and anything gas or hard-wired need a plumber, an electrician or a Gas Safe engineer. If the new arrival is a heavy range cooker heading down cellar steps, send photos of the steps and the doorway at the bottom so the route is agreed before you book.

Cellar steps and cottage doorways: measuring for a Todmorden appliance

• Measure the gap and every doorway on the way to it, including the turn at the foot of any cellar steps, before ordering
• Turn the water off, drain the hoses and unplug the old washer the night before so it can be pulled clear of the space
• The old machine is moved wherever you want it inside the property but not taken away; the retailer's take-back or Calderdale Council's bulky waste service is the route, so check what it takes
• If the retailer will only deliver to the kerb, or not up the valley at all, the van can collect from the store and carry it the rest of the way
• In a terrace cellar kitchen, measure the headroom under the beam or lintel at the foot of the steps as well as the width of the door

Steps, cellars and heavy items: pricing a Todmorden appliance drop

The number of steps and whether the machine goes down into a cellar set the price. Todmorden has no travel surcharge, and the figure is fixed before the van leaves. See how we quote for the full breakdown.
