Fitting a settee into a Barrowford front room

Measure first, because Barrowford's older houses are narrow. In a weaver's cottage on Gisburn Road the front door often opens straight into the living room, which helps, but the door itself is small and a three-seater has to tip on end to get in. Upstairs is harder: a sofa bed for a back bedroom has to pass a boxed-in stair. Send the door width and height and the sofa's depth, and it is worked out before anyone lifts. On the A682 the van waits on a side street.

In a Lowerford terrace on Lucy Street or Ann Street, the van stops at the kerb and the sofa goes straight in. A corner sofa usually comes in sections, which travel on their base or back in the van and are joined in the room. On the closes off Wheatley Lane Road and on the Keld estate, doors and halls are wider and a bed frame or a divan base goes up a straight modern stair without fuss.

Getting ready for a sofa or bed delivery in Barrowford

Measure the front door width, the height and the hall, and send them with the sofa's dimensions
Unscrew the feet on the sofa if they come off; it often saves the doorframe
Ask whether the corner sofa separates into sections, and how
Bed frames are taken apart and rebuilt in the room; mattresses travel flat and covered
Clear the room before the van arrives so the sofa goes straight to where it is staying
