From Leeds stores and Harrogate sellers into Wetherby homes

The furniture that justifies a van is the heavy or awkward kind: a dining table with its leaves, a solid oak wardrobe, a dresser, a bookcase. It travels in blankets and straps, covered by £10,000 goods in transit insurance. A wardrobe or bed that has been dismantled for a narrow stair is rebuilt in the room. New flat-pack is left in its boxes for you or a fitter to put together.

The delivery end varies across town. Flats over the High Street and Market Place shops are reached by a single staircase from a street door, there is room for only a short stop outside, and on Thursday the market stalls fill the Market Place around the Town Hall, so central jobs go on another day. The van is about 2.5m tall, so the barrier car parks in the centre are no help. Hallfield's semis and terraces are simpler outside the school-run hours on Hallfield Lane, and houses at Micklethwaite, Deighton Bar or Linton Park View usually let the van park close; on a tight cul-de-sac it may stand on the road while the piece is wheeled in.

What moves the price of a furniture delivery to Wetherby

The price follows how big and heavy each piece is, how many pick-ups there are and how far it is carried from kerb to room. One figure is agreed up front, and the drive over from Bradford adds nothing to it. See how we quote for the full breakdown.

Furniture Delivery in Wetherby: your questions

Is a Leeds store pick-up and a Wetherby drop possible on one day?

Usually, if the diary has space. Pass on the store's collection reference and your address, and the piece comes out along the A58 and into the room you want it in.

Will you build a brand-new wardrobe that arrives in boxes?

No. A piece that was already standing and got dismantled for the journey is rebuilt, but a new one in its cartons is left for you to put together.

What about the old sofa the new one replaces?

It stays at the house and does not travel with us. It can be moved to a garage or the front, ready for a council bulky collection or a charity pick-up.

Can you deliver to a flat above a shop on the Market Place?

Yes, on any day but Thursday, when the market fills the Market Place. These flats have one staircase from a street door, so send the width of the stair and the size of the piece, and the van stops outside only as long as the unloading takes.
