Getting a washer or fridge freezer from a Wakefield kerb to the kitchen
Kitchens in the Agbrigg and Belle Vue terraces are usually at the back of the house, so a machine goes through the front door, down a narrow hall and past the stairs. A standard washer clears that easily, while a wide fridge freezer needs its depth checked against every doorway on the way. Measure the narrowest doorway and send it with the model number. Tall and American-style fridge freezers are not something the van takes.
On the council-built estates at Lupset, Flanshaw and Kettlethorpe the van can usually get close and the kitchen is a straight walk in, which makes these the quick jobs. A fridge or freezer should stand for a few hours after the journey before it is switched on, so plan the first shop for the next day. In a Waterfront flat the lift is the doorway that matters, so check its internal depth against the fridge before the delivery is booked.
Before a Wakefield appliance drop: bolts, doorways and the gap
- Have the old machine isolated before we arrive, with the water off, the plug out and the transit bolts back in if you still have them, so it comes straight out of the gap
- Connecting the new machine is left to you or a plumber: it is carried to the kitchen and stood in place, and anything gas needs a Gas Safe engineer
- The machine is not taken away with us. The retailer selling you the new one often has a take-back scheme, so ask when you buy, or book a licensed waste carrier
- Empty and defrost a freezer the day before and leave a towel in the bottom, because the drip tray can hold more than you expect
- On an Agbrigg terrace with a back street such as Back Montague Street, say whether the front or the back door reaches the kitchen with fewer turns
- For a flat at Chantry Waters or another Waterfront block, send the lift's inside depth, because that is the doorway that settles a fridge freezer
Wakefield kitchens and the carry to reach them
- Agbrigg and Belle Vuerear kitchens behind a narrow hall, so the doorway width decides whether a big fridge goes in
- Lupset and Flanshawestate houses where the van parks close and the kitchen is a short, level walk
- Kettlethorpea larger estate to the south; say whether the machine is going into the kitchen, a utility room or the garage
- Sandalbigger houses on rising ground, where a range cooker may be the item that needs a plan
- Chantry Waters and the Waterfrontflats where the lift size matters more than the kitchen for a big fridge freezer
Where a Wakefield appliance is collected from
- Shop or store collection to a Wakefield homecollected with the order number and carried straight into the kitchen
- Private seller in Leeds or Dewsbury to Wakefieldchecked at the door before it is loaded, then driven straight to your kitchen
- Bradford to Wakefieldnineteen miles by the A650 or the motorway, about 35 to 45 minutes

Appliance Delivery in Wakefield: your questions
Will a fridge freezer fit through a terraced house in Wakefield?
A standard one usually does. Measure the narrowest point on the route, often the hall or the kitchen door, and compare it with the depth of the fridge freezer. Send both figures and you get a straight answer before anyone pays for a wasted trip. Tall and American-style models are not moved.
Can you plumb in the new washing machine?
No. The van brings it, it is carried to the kitchen and stood in the gap, and the hook-up is yours or a plumber's to do. A cooker needs an electrician or a Gas Safe engineer to connect it.
Can you take my old washer away?
No, nothing old goes in the van. The retailer selling you the new one often offers take-back, or there is the council's bulky waste service, so check what it takes. We can move the old one out of the kitchen for you so it is ready.
