Getting a settee through an Earby front door
On the terraced rows between New Road and the cricket ground, Cowgill, George and Brook Streets among them, the front door usually leads straight into the living room, so a three-seater goes in on its end and swings round. A corner sofa comes in sections. The measurement that matters is the diagonal of the door against the depth of the sofa, so send both before booking, and say whether the feet unscrew.
Beds are the other half of the job. A new frame arrives boxed and is carried up to the bedroom, a frame moving from another house is taken apart and rebuilt in the room, and a mattress goes up the stair on its side, never folded. A divan base is rigid, which is where an Earby terrace stair can be a problem; a split base solves it. On the closes, Stoopes Hill, Brownroyd and Dale View, the hall is wider and the drive lets the van stand right at the door.
Measure twice before a sofa comes to Earby
- Measure the door width and height, and the depth of the sofa from back to front
- Check the stair width and the turn at the top for a mattress or divan base
- Say whether the old sofa is staying put, as old furniture is not taken away by the van
- For your old settee, Pendle Borough Council runs free bulky waste collections that you book yourself
- Clear the hallway and any rugs from the route before the van arrives

The price of a sofa or bed run to Earby
Earby is a planned slot, the extra driving priced into one fixed price, so the size of the piece, where it is collected and the stair at your end are what move the figure. See how we quote for the full breakdown.
Sofa & Bed Delivery in Earby: your questions
Can you take my old sofa when the new one arrives?
No, the van does not take old furniture. Pendle Borough Council's bulky waste service collects items you book in, and you can offer a good sofa to a charity yourself.
Will you put the bed together in the room?
A bed you already own is taken apart at the old house and rebuilt in the new bedroom. A new bed still in its box is carried up to the room for you to build.
My terrace stair is narrow. Will a double mattress go up?
A mattress goes up on its side and usually makes it. A rigid divan base is harder, so send the stair width and a photo of the turn first.
