Getting a sofa through a Dewsbury terrace's front door
Where the door opens straight into the lounge there is no hall turn to make, but the frame and the space behind it still decide the angle the sofa goes in at. Measure the door width and height, and the diagonal depth of the sofa, and send both. Feet and legs come off where they are designed to, and a corner suite in sections goes through one piece at a time.
Beds cause more trouble on the stairs than at the door. A divan base normally comes in two halves, and a mattress travels flat or on its edge, never folded. A frame you already own is unbolted, carried up in parts and bolted together again. For a house on the slope at Dewsbury Moor or Boothroyd, or up the hill at Earlsheaton, mention any steps to the door, because a sofa carried uphill takes longer.
Measuring up for a sofa or bed delivery in Dewsbury
- Measure the door width and height and the narrowest point of the hall or stairs
- Check the sofa's diagonal depth: that is what decides whether it fits
- In a Westtown or Batley Carr terrace, check the turn from the hall onto the stairs before ordering a bed frame
- Divans normally come in two halves; say if yours is a one-piece base
- If the old suite is being replaced, it can be moved to a spare room or out to the front, but it stays at the house

Sofa & Bed Delivery in Dewsbury: your questions
Will a corner sofa fit through my front door?
Corner sofas normally come in sections, so each piece goes through separately. Send the section sizes and your door measurements and you will know before you order.
Can you take the old sofa away?
No. It can be shifted into another room or out by the gate, and from there the Kirklees bulky-item pick-up or a take-back deal from the shop selling the new one is the way to be rid of it.
Do you put the bed together?
If it is an existing bed being moved, yes, it is dismantled and reassembled. New flat-pack beds are delivered boxed, not built.
What if the sofa will not go through the door on the day?
The sensible options come first: feet off, the door off its hinges if you agree, a different angle. If it still will not go, we stop before anything gets damaged and talk it through with you. Measuring before you buy is the best way to avoid that.
