Wardrobes into terraces, tables up High Street: furniture into WF9 homes

The trouble with furniture in South Elmsall is rarely the drive; it is the last few metres. In the colliery terraces near the station the front door opens into a small front room and the stairs are steep and enclosed, so a tall wardrobe or a solid dresser has to come in at an angle or in pieces. Measure the door, the stair width and the ceiling at the turn, and compare them with the piece before you buy, not on the day.

Up the hill, the steep part of High Street and the one-way sections mean the van has to come at the house from the right direction and stand somewhere it is safe to load on a slope. On the crescents and new streets near Frickley Country Park the problems are fewer: wider roads, drives, open-plan rooms. A flat-pack wardrobe that is already built at the shop or the seller's home can be taken apart for the trip and put back together in the bedroom.

Measurements and details for a South Elmsall furniture delivery

Measure the front door, the stairs and the tightest turn before buying a large piece
Send the shop's address, the collection reference and its opening hours
Mention if the house is on the slope of High Street or on the one-way loop off Barnsley Road
Clear a path through the room so the piece can go straight to where it will stand
If it is flat-pack and still boxed, say so; boxed flat-pack is carried in as it is
