Getting a sofa or bed through a Birstall front door and up the stairs
The doorway and the stairs decide a sofa job, not the drive. A three-seater that is too deep for a terraced hallway can often go in once its feet are off and it is stood on end, and a divan base is lighter than it looks but awkward on a turning stair. Measure the front door, the hallway width and the tightest point on the stairs, and send those with the sofa's dimensions from the label or listing.
Beds are simpler once they are in pieces. Frames are dismantled at one end and rebuilt at the other where needed, mattresses travel wrapped, so measure a narrow landing before the day. On the estate houses and newer semis the van usually parks near the door; on the terraces around the market place it takes the nearest safe space and the carry is a little longer.

- Sofas are wrapped in blankets and strapped in the van; mattresses go flat or on their side, never folded
- Feet, arms and frames that come off are removed and refitted where needed
- On a terrace near the market place, measure the front door and the first turn inside, because that is where a sofa sticks
- For a sofa or bed from IKEA on Holden Ing Way, the order reference and the collection point are what the driver needs
- A corner sofa that comes in sections is carried one section at a time, which is easier than it sounds
- Old sofas and beds are not taken away; the council's bulky waste service is one route, so check what it takes

Sofa & Bed Delivery in Birstall: your questions
Will my sofa fit through a terrace doorway?
It depends on the depth and height; with the feet off and the sofa on end, many fit. Send the door width, the hallway width and the sofa's depth and height, and you will hear before booking whether it goes in whole or not.
Can you take my old sofa?
No, old furniture does not leave with the van. It can be carried out to the garden or garage, and the council's bulky waste service is one route from there, so check what it takes.
Can you bring a bed from IKEA and put it together?
The new bed is delivered boxed into the bedroom; building new flat-pack is not part of the service. A bed frame that is already built and moving between homes is dismantled and rebuilt.
