Furniture Delivery in Halifax

Door widths, stair turns and big pieces in Halifax houses

Halifax is built round a bowl, so a furniture drop here starts on a slope. The back-to-backs in King Cross, Pellon and Boothtown have no back door and ginnels instead of back streets, so everything goes in through the front, off a cambered pavement, and up a stair that turns near the top. A dining table goes in on its side, a solid wardrobe may only go up in sections, and a dresser sometimes needs its top unbolted. Many of these houses have an attic room as well, and a piece for the attic means a second, narrower flight.

The villas round Savile Park and Skircoat Green are easier on width but longer on distance, with steps up from the pavement, long halls and tall staircases. In the centre the Woolshops and Southgate are for people on foot, and the A629 scheme has closed Market Street and part of Northgate, so a flat there is reached from the nearest open road and trolleyed in. Commercial Street is still open to traffic and gives a closer stop where the restrictions allow. Photos of the route in let the fixed price reflect the real carry rather than a guess.

Getting large furniture into a Halifax home

• Measure the front door, the narrowest point of the hall and the stair turn before you buy; a back-to-back in King Cross or Pellon has no back door to try instead
• Collecting from Dean Clough or Shaw Lodge Mills? Give the building or unit name, as both sites hold many firms
• For a Mixenden, Illingworth or Ovenden house on the high ground, the road is wider, so say whether the van can stop by your path
• On a full Boothtown street, the van takes the nearest legal space and the piece is trolleyed along the pavement, uphill or down
• For a flat off the Woolshops, Southgate or Market Street, say which open road is nearest, as those streets are closed to vans
• An old piece can be moved to another room or another address on the same visit, but it is not taken for disposal

What changes the price of furniture delivery in Halifax

Bulk, the flights at the delivery address and any taking apart are what move the figure. The run over from Bradford adds nothing, as Halifax sits within the core area. See how we quote for the full breakdown.
