Bringing a wardrobe or table home to an Earby doorstep

A furniture delivery into Earby starts somewhere else: a warehouse in Bradford or Leeds, a showroom in Skipton or Keighley, an auction room or a house sale. The collection end is agreed first, with the time the item is ready and any loading dock or counter, then the van comes over the Skipton bypass and down the A56. Pieces are wrapped in blankets and strapped against the side of the load space, which is 3.4m long, so a dining table, its chairs and a sideboard ride together.

At the Earby end the shape of the house matters. A terrace on James Street or Applegarth Street has a front door that opens straight into the living room, and a bulky piece may need its legs or doors off to make the turn. A semi on Welbury Close or a house on Wentcliffe Drive usually has a hallway and a straight stair. Flat-pack that is already built can be taken apart and rebuilt; new flat-pack is delivered boxed.

Before a piece of furniture comes to your Earby house

Measure the front door, the hall and the turn of the stair against the item's largest dimension
Send the collection address, the time it is ready and any order or collection number
Say if the piece has to go upstairs, and whether its legs or doors come off
Clear a path from the door to the room it is going in before the van arrives
