From George Richards Way to the room: Altrincham furniture delivery

A store collection is quick when the order is ready. Send the order number, the store and the collection name, and the driver collects it from the counter or the goods-out door, straps it in and drives it the short distance down the A56. A bookcase, a dining table or a set of drawers comes in whole when it fits through the door, and flat-packed furniture is carried to the room it belongs in.

The house decides the rest. A house from the early 1800s on Sandiway Road or Normans Place was built for smaller furniture, so measure the piece against the doorway and stair before ordering. A three-storey terrace on Place Road has a long climb to the top bedroom. In Timperley or Bowdon, if the house has a drive the van pulls in and the carry is short. Existing beds and wardrobes can be taken apart to get them in, and rebuilt in the room.
