Terrace doors and new-build stairs: fitting a sofa in Castleford
Sofas get stuck at door frames, not in rooms. In a terrace the front door often opens straight into the living room, which helps, but a narrow frame can still stop a large corner sofa. Check the sofa's depth and height against the door width, and ask whether the arms or feet come off. Estate houses usually have wider halls, and new-builds are easy downstairs but tight up.
Beds are easier if they come apart. A split divan goes up in two halves, and a bed frame or headboard you already own is unbolted downstairs and put together again in the bedroom. A king-size mattress needs a clear turn at the top of a new-build stair, so measure that. Everything travels wrapped in blankets and strapped. If the old bed is staying in another room, it can be moved there on the same visit, as long as it stays in the house.

Sofa & Bed Delivery in Castleford: your questions
Will you take my old sofa?
No, we don't take old furniture away. Wakefield Council's bulky item collection or the retailer's take-back is the route. A WF10 address in Allerton Bywater is in Leeds district, so there it is Leeds City Council's bulky waste service.
Can you build my new bed?
Only one that has been built before. A brand-new flat-pack bed still in its carton is left for you or a fitter to put together.
What if the sofa will not fit through the door?
Feet and arms come off first if they can. If it still will not go, it stays wrapped and can go back to the shop on a separate booking. Check the shop's returns terms before buying if the fit is doubtful.
Can you collect from a shop that will not deliver?
Yes. The van collects it with your order number and brings it to your Castleford address, carried in to the room.
