From the ring-road stores to a York front room

Clifton Moor and Monks Cross both sit just inside the A1237, so a collection from either is a short run into the city, by Wigginton Road from Clifton Moor or by the A1036 from Monks Cross. Ring the store first to have the order ready at the collection point, and the van loads and leaves. Smaller pieces come from the centre too, such as the Community Furniture Store on James Street or a bed from the York Carpet & Bed Centre on Scarcroft Road.

The work is at the delivery end. A wardrobe for a Holgate or South Bank terrace goes through a front door that opens straight onto the pavement and up a steep, narrow stair, so a big flat-pack piece is carried in boxes and a fitted bed frame you already own is rebuilt upstairs. On Bootham and in Clifton, the townhouses have more floors but wider halls. If the old piece is going, the council's bulky waste collection can be booked on 01904 551551.
