From a Birstall or Wakefield store to a room in Ossett
Store collections need the order number, the name on it and the collection point, because big stores hand over from a set desk or bay and the wait there is part of the job. That applies to IKEA at Birstall, back along the M62 from junction 27, as much as to a Wakefield showroom. Flat-packed boxes from a store are carried in and stacked where you want them; building new flat-pack is not something we do, so plan for a fitter if you want it put together. A piece bought direct from a trade unit at Sandbeds or Silkwood Park needs the unit name and the hours its goods-out door is open.
At the Ossett end, the stone terraces near the centre and around Gawthorpe have no off-street parking and open onto the pavement, so a wardrobe goes from tailgate to front door in a few steps and then meets the stairs with no hall to turn in. South Ossett's newer estates along Storrs Hill Road mostly have drives and wider halls. Either way, measure the tightest turn inside the house, not just the front door. For a delivery to the Market Place, Tuesday and Friday are the days to avoid, as the outdoor market takes the kerb from 8.30am to 4pm.
Before a wardrobe or table comes to your Ossett home
- For an IKEA Birstall order, send the order number, the name on it and the collection point, with a link to the item and its dimensions
- In a Gawthorpe or centre terrace, measure the stair turn and the landing; with no hall, that decides more than the front door
- Off Storrs Hill Road in South Ossett, say whether the van can pull onto the drive or has to stop on the estate road
- A Market Place address is easiest on a Wednesday or Thursday, as the Tuesday and Friday market and the Town Hall flea market take the kerb
- Buying from a unit at Sandbeds, Silkwood Park or Ashley Industrial Estate on Wakefield Road? Send the unit name and goods-out hours
- An old piece can be moved to another room or the garage, but it is not taken with us
Where Ossett furniture is collected and delivered

- Sandbeds Trading Estate and Silkwood Parktrade units on the edge of town, for a piece bought direct
- Gawthorpe terraces, near the water towerpavement-fronted rows where the stairs are the real test
- South Ossettnewer homes with drives off Storrs Hill Road, simpler for dining sets and wardrobes
- Market Place and the Town Hallcentral addresses that are easiest outside Tuesday and Friday market hours

What an Ossett furniture delivery price reflects
Size, weight, the number of stairs and any wait at a store collection point set the time, and the fixed price is agreed from that before the van sets off. See how we quote for the full breakdown.
Furniture Delivery in Ossett: your questions
Can you collect from IKEA and bring it to Ossett?
Yes. Book the store's collection option, send the order number and the name on it, and the van picks it up and carries the boxes into your home. Building new flat-pack is not part of the job.
Will a wardrobe get up my stairs?
Measure the narrowest point of the stairs and the turn at the top, then send those with the wardrobe's height, width and depth. An existing flat-pack wardrobe can be taken apart and rebuilt; a solid one-piece item cannot, and it is better to know before you buy.
Can you deliver at the weekend?
Yes, Saturdays and Sundays are normal working days here, 8am to 8pm. Weekend slots are limited with one van, so send photos and both postcodes early and a fixed price comes back, agreed before we set off.
Is a Tuesday or Friday a bad day for a furniture delivery in central Ossett?
For an address on or by the Market Place, yes. The outdoor market and the flea market in the Town Hall both run on those days, 8.30am to 4pm, and take the kerb at the front. A Wednesday or Thursday slot is easier.
