Converted mills, turning stairs and valley terraces: sofa access across HD6

Mill conversions around the canal basin may mean a lift and a corridor rather than a staircase, which is good news for a heavy sofa and bad news for a tall headboard or a mattress that will not bend. The lift car's inside height and depth are the numbers to send, along with the width of the flat's own door. If the car is too small the piece goes by the stairs instead, which is slower but workable, and the quote allows for it once you say so.

Up the hill the problem changes. Semis at Hove Edge and Rastrick can have a stair that turns at a half-landing, where a divan base or a long three-seater has to be angled round. Taking off the feet, or the headboard from a bed, can give the extra centimetres. Detached houses and newer cul-de-sacs in Lightcliffe tend to have broader halls, so a sofa that would fight a terrace door elsewhere may go in whole.

Measuring up before a sofa or mattress comes to a Brighouse address

• The narrowest door on the way in, plus the lift car's height for a mill apartment by the canal
• The sofa's depth and back height from the label, not only its length
• Feet, arms and headboards that unbolt come off for the carry and go back on afterwards
• On a terrace around Bonegate or Waring Green the front door opens off the pavement, so clear the hall before the van pulls up and the sofa goes straight in
• The old sofa stays behind, and Calderdale Council's bulky waste service is the route for that

Brighouse homes where the doorway, not the drive, sets the pace

• Thornhill Briggsterraces north of the centre parked along the kerb, so the van halts briefly and the sofa is walked in
• The Basinconverted mill apartments, where the lift size is the first question
• Hove Edgesemis with turning stairs that suit a sofa with removable feet
• Rastrickhigher ground about a mile from the centre, with drives at many houses
• Lightcliffedetached stone houses and cul-de-sacs with room to park beside the door

Why two Brighouse sofa jobs of the same size can cost differently

The number of pieces, a lift or stair carry at the delivery end and any bed that needs taking apart change the fixed price; Brighouse is inside the core area, so there is no travel surcharge. See how we quote for the full breakdown.
