Furniture Delivery in Silsden

Wardrobes, dressers and tables into Silsden's stone houses

The older houses around St John's Street, Chapel Street and Stirling Street are small, closely packed stone cottages, some of them listed, and the mill workers' terraces west of Kirkgate and along Bolton Road open straight off the pavement with only a small yard behind. Either way the furniture comes in at the front and through the living room. A stair that turns halfway up is where a tall wardrobe or a deep chest of drawers stops, so measure the turn and the landing ceiling before buying. A bed or existing flat-pack piece is taken down at the door and rebuilt in the room.

Furniture from a Keighley, Bradford or Leeds showroom is collected from the loading bay, blanket-wrapped, strapped along the side of the van and carried into the room you want it in. At the Silsden end the planning is about where the van stands. Kirkgate is the A6034 and twists narrowly through the centre, so a stop outside a house there is kept short, and some of the bridges over the canal are narrow, so the approach is picked before setting off. Brunthwaite's lanes below Rombalds Moor need a turning place agreed in advance. New flat-pack is delivered in its boxes; building it is not part of the service, but carrying it to the right room is.

Getting a large piece of furniture into a Silsden home

• In a St John's Street or Chapel Street cottage, measure the turn in the stairs and the landing ceiling as well as the front door
• For a terrace west of Kirkgate or on Bolton Road, clear a path through the front room, since the yard behind has no way in for a van
• A house on Kirkgate gets a brief stop on the A6034, so have the room ready and the way through clear before the van arrives
• In Brunthwaite or High Brunthwaite, say where a long van can turn on the lane, as there is little space below the moor
• Buying from a seller at Ryefield Business Park on Belton Road? Pass on the unit name and the time the piece can be loaded
• Glass tops and mirrors are wrapped separately and travel upright

• Howden Road and Hawber Lanenewer homes with drives and wider doors, the straightforward end of town

What sets a Silsden furniture delivery price

The collection point, the size and weight of the piece and whether it has to come apart to get in set the price. Carrying up a narrow cottage stair takes longer than walking into a new-build lounge, and the quote reflects that. See how we quote for the full breakdown.
