Appliance Delivery in York

Narrow back kitchens and upstairs flats: appliances into York homes

A York terrace usually has its kitchen at the back, through the front room or along a passage, and in South Bank, Holgate and The Groves the back yards open onto alleys too narrow for a van. So a washing machine comes in through the front door and through the house. Send a photo of the route from the door to the kitchen, including any step down, and the time is planned into the price.

A fridge or fridge-freezer shorter than the van's 1.7m roof travels upright and strapped. Tall or American fridge-freezers are not moved. A washing machine needs its transit bolts fitted before it travels, and the driver does not plumb it in, so book a plumber or connect it yourself. Flats over shops inside the walls take a delivery only before 10.30am or after 5pm, outside footstreet hours.

Before a York appliance delivery

• Measure the gap under the worktop, then every doorway on the way from the front step to the kitchen
• Fit the transit bolts to a washing machine you are selling or moving, and drain it the night before
• A freezer bought second-hand should be defrosted by the seller a day ahead, doors propped open to dry
• Tell us about steps at the door and any stairs, such as a first-floor flat in The Groves
• An old appliance is not removed; City of York Council's bulky waste service collects large items
