Bringing wardrobes, tables and dressers into Knaresborough homes

A Knaresborough furniture delivery can start a few minutes away: a chain store at St James retail park off Wetherby Road, an antique or independent shop around the Market Place, or a Harrogate showroom along the A59, where the level crossing at Starbeck can hold the van on the way back. A store collection needs the order number and the collection note, and the van, about 2.5m tall, loads at the goods door or in open parking, because a 2.1m barrier stops it.

The delivery end decides the time. Down Kirkgate, Waterside and the cobbled Water Bag Bank the lanes are steep and narrow, the van often cannot stop close, and the last stretch is carried; an old doorway may mean a piece comes in by a back door or stands on end to clear the stair. On Eastfield, Aspin, Calcutt and the newer streets at Grimbald Crag the van pulls up outside, and the work is placing the piece, not reaching the house.

Measuring and booking a furniture delivery into HG5

Say which side of the Nidd the address is on, since High Bridge and Low Bridge carry the roads over the river in town
For shop or warehouse pickups send the order number and collection instructions; for private sellers, the address and a contact
Addresses near the Market Place are easier on any day but Wednesday, when the market is trading
For a cottage on Kirkgate, Waterside or Water Bag Bank, send a photo of the lane, since the van may stop well short and the piece is carried down
Wardrobes and beds you already own are dismantled for a tight cottage stair and rebuilt in the room; new flat-pack stays boxed
Goods in transit cover is £10,000, so say if an antique from the Market Place is worth more than that

What decides the price of bringing furniture into Knaresborough

The size and weight of the pieces, the number of collection points and the carry at your door set the price. A single wardrobe to an Aspin semi costs less than a dining set taken down to a riverside cottage, and either way the price is fixed first. See how we quote for the full breakdown.

Furniture Delivery in Knaresborough: your questions

Can you collect a piece I bought from a Harrogate antiques shop?

Yes. Pay the shop, tell them we are collecting, and send us the address, the item and a contact name. It is blanketed and strapped in the van and carried into whichever room you choose.

Will you build my new flat-pack wardrobe?

No. We dismantle and reassemble existing furniture, such as a bed or wardrobe taken apart for a move, but new flat-pack stays boxed for you or a fitter.

Can you take my old sofa when you deliver the new one?

No, nothing old goes in the van. We can carry it to a garage or outside, and North Yorkshire Council's bulky waste service or the retailer's take-back scheme is the way to get rid of it.

Can you deliver on market day?

Yes, though a Wednesday drop near the Market Place is harder, because the market takes the square the van would otherwise stop on. Any other day is easier for a town-centre address.

My cottage is down Water Bag Bank. Will a dining table get there?

Yes, but not by van to the door. The van stops at the nearest legal point and the table is carried down the cobbles, legs off if they unscrew. Send a photo of the lane and the door first.
