Furniture Delivery in Shipley

Will the wardrobe get up the stairs of a Shipley terrace?

In Saltaire and Windhill the stairs in a Victorian terrace are narrow and often turn at the top, so a tall wardrobe or a solid headboard is judged on its diagonal rather than its height. Measure the width of the staircase and the headroom at the turn, and send a photo taken from the bottom step. A bed or flat-pack wardrobe you already own can be taken apart and rebuilt in the room, while brand-new pieces still in their boxes are delivered as they come.

Houses in Nab Wood and Moorhead have wider stairs and straighter landings, so the same piece often goes in whole. Mill apartments are different again. A lift that takes a wardrobe standing up saves the stairs entirely, but only if the car is big enough, so its inside height and depth are worth checking before you order. Delivery includes carrying to the room and placing the piece where you want it.

Measuring up for furniture delivery in Shipley

• Get the item's height, width and depth from the listing or the shop, and the narrowest point on your route indoors
• In Saltaire the houses are listed, so the door frame and banister stay put; if the piece will not pass them whole, it has to be one that comes apart
• Buying from a shop on Market Square or in the Arndale Centre? The van cannot pull up at the shop door, so it loads at the nearest road and the piece comes out on the trolley
• Each piece is wrapped in blankets and strapped to the side of the van so nothing rubs in transit
• We do not take the old piece away; Bradford Council's bulky waste service or the retailer's take-back is the route for that
