Through the front room to the back kitchen: Wigan appliance carries
Many terraces in Gidlow and Springfield have the kitchen behind the living room, so a washing machine travels the full depth of the house on a sack truck. The step at the front, the door between the rooms and a sofa against the wall are what slow it down, and clearing a straight line before the van arrives makes the carry quick. If the row has a back street with a yard gate, say so, as that may be shorter.
Semis on the Hawkley Hall estate, in Worsley Mesnes or along the Pemberton side of Ormskirk Road usually give a wider hall and a drive, and the van parks a few steps away. The limits are the same in any house: no plumbing, wiring or gas, and no cookers or dishwashers. We do not move tall or American-style fridge-freezers, whether from Robin Park or a Wigan seller. The machine being replaced stays behind for you to book onto a Wigan Council bulky waste collection.
Hoses off, path clear: getting a Wigan kitchen ready
- Compare the appliance's width and depth with every doorway between the street and the kitchen
- Unhook the old washer's hoses and pull it out of its gap before the day
- Move chairs, rugs and the dog's bed out of the route through the house
- Leave a fridge freezer standing for the time its maker sets before turning it on
- Put the old machine down for a council bulky waste pick-up, free for the first two each year

Weight, steps and doors: a Wigan appliance price
The weight of the machine, the number of steps and doors on the way to the kitchen and the distance from Robin Park or the seller set the figure, settled before the van collects. See how we quote for the full breakdown.
Appliance Delivery in Wigan: your questions
Will the driver plumb in the washing machine?
No. The machine is wheeled into its space and that is the end of the job; the hoses are for you or a plumber, and anything gas or hard-wired needs a qualified engineer.
Can you pick up an order from Currys at Robin Park?
Yes, once Currys confirms the order can be collected. Send the order number, the name on it and your Wigan address.
What happens to my old washer?
It stays in your house, because only the new one is carried. Book it onto Wigan Council's bulky waste service, which is free for the first two collections a year.
Do you deliver dishwashers or cookers?
No. Dishwashers, cookers and gas appliances are outside the service; washing machines, tumble dryers and standard fridge freezers are inside it.
