Furniture Delivery in Normanton

Measuring a Normanton terrace before the wardrobe arrives

The late-Victorian and Edwardian miners' terraces off the High Street have front doors straight off the street into the living room, and stairs that are steep and narrow. A solid wardrobe or a tall dresser is the item that gets stuck, not the sofa. Those rows have no drives and the kerb fills with cars, so the van may stop a few doors along and the piece is trolleyed back. Measure the front door, the stair width and the height at any turn before buying, and send those with the item's size; you will hear whether it goes before anything is collected.

The estates built since the 1990s, and the newer houses in Altofts, have wider halls and landings, so a sofa or wardrobe can often go in whole once the van is at the door. Furniture you already own that was flat-pack can be taken apart and rebuilt at the new address. New flat-pack is delivered in its boxes for you or a fitter to build. If the collection is from a unit at Eurolink, Photon Park or Wakefield Europort, give us the unit number, the collection reference and any booking-in time, because goods-out desks often will not release an order without them.

Before a furniture delivery in Normanton

• In a miners' terrace off the High Street, measure the front door, the stair width and the headroom at the turn against the item before you buy
• Those terraces have no drives and cars line the kerb, so an early slot gives the van the best chance of stopping near your door
• Collecting from Eurolink on Mildred Sylvester Way or Photon Park on Harvard Way? Have the unit, the order reference and any booking-in time ready
• Lorry traffic round Wakefield Europort at junction 31 peaks at shift changes, so a collection between them is quicker
• A house in Altofts or Lower Altofts is reached on lanes dropping towards the Calder with tight turns, so say which approach suits a long van
• The old piece stays with you; Wakefield Council's bulky collection or a furniture charity is the route for it
