Furniture Delivery in Hebden Bridge

Old stone houses and heavy pieces: furniture into Hebden Bridge

The first thing to settle for a Hebden Bridge furniture delivery is which street your door opens onto. In the over-and-under terraces the upper home is reached from the road above and the lower one from the road below, so a wardrobe may go down two flights of outside steps before it reaches the front door, then through a low doorway and up a stair that winds. Measure the door, the stair turn and the landing against the depth and height of the piece before you pay for it.

Heavy solid wood is slow on stone steps, so how a piece comes apart matters. A dresser that lifts off its base, or a table whose legs unscrew, is carried in two easy trips instead of one hard one. Beds and wardrobes you already own are dismantled at collection and rebuilt in the room, while a new flat-pack piece is carried in boxed for you to build. For anything unusually heavy, such as a stone-topped table, send photos of the piece and the steps so the carry is priced at the quote.

Getting a large piece into a Hebden Bridge home

• Over-and-under terrace: say whether your door is reached from the street above or the one below, and count the outside steps between the van and the door
• Measure the front door, the turn of the stair and the landing, and send them with a photo of the piece
• Heptonstall's setted main street leaves little room to turn a long van, so the stopping point is agreed first and the last stretch is done by trolley
• For a flat above a shop on Market Street or Bridge Gate, the van stops where the street allows, and an early start keeps ahead of the visitors
• In a wet week the valley road by Hebden Water is checked before a delivery, as it flooded in 2012 and 2015
• The old piece can be moved to another room, but it does not leave in the van
