Sofa & Bed Delivery in Haworth

Carrying a settee up the setts and into a weavers' cottage

Main Street climbs steeply up to the church and the Parsonage, and its setts make a loaded trolley jolt at every joint. A sofa is wrapped in blankets, strapped on its side and walked up slowly rather than pushed. For the top of the village, the Museum car park near the Parsonage gives the shortest walk. For the streets lower down and off Sun Street, Bronte Village car park is closer. On a wet day the stones get slippery, so the walk takes longer and the wrapping stays on until the sofa is indoors.

Inside, the old houses set the limits. Weavers' cottages were built three storeys high with the top floor for the looms, and the stair between floors is often narrow with a tight winder at the top. Houses cut into the hillside can put the front door on one level and the living room half a floor below it. A three-seater usually goes in with its feet off and the back cushions out. A large one-piece sofa that cannot bend round a winder is better turned down at the quote than stuck on a landing.

Measuring a Haworth doorway and stair before a sofa or bed arrives

• Measure the front door width, the depth of the sofa and the ceiling height at the first turn of the stair
• Unscrew the feet in advance if they come off, and mention a corner sofa so each section is wrapped on its own
• For a top-floor bedroom, a split divan base climbs a winding stair where a one-piece base will not
• Mattresses travel flat or on their side and are never folded to get round a bend
• An existing bed frame is taken apart at collection and rebuilt in your room; a new bed in its boxes is delivered boxed
• A photo of the stair taken from the bottom step tells more than any description

Haworth streets and car parks that shape the sofa carry

• Main Street and the setts up to the churchtoo steep and narrow for the van to stand, so the sofa is trolleyed up from a car park
• Museum car park by the Parsonagethe nearest council parking for the top of the village and West Lane
• Bronte Village car park off Sun Streetthe largest of the three, closest for the lower streets, and full early on busy weekends
• Gas Street car parka smaller council car park for the terraces on the east side
• Three-storey weavers' cottages in the old villagea winding stair to the top floor, so bed bases often need to split
• Houses with drives around the edge of Haworththe van can pull up close, so the job is mostly about the door and stair
