Getting a three-seater round a Knottingley hall corner

In a semi the sofa comes in end-first and turns into the lounge, and the turn is where it sticks. Legs unscrew, cushions come off, and a corner sofa usually splits into its sections. If the hall is too tight, a lounge with patio doors at the back can be easier, which on a semi may mean the side path or the back garden.

Beds bring the stairs into it. A divan base and a mattress go up a straight flight, but a king-size base on a turning stair needs measuring first. Existing bed frames are taken apart and rebuilt at the new address. Your old sofa or bed is not taken away: Wakefield Council has a bulky item collection to book online, or you could offer it to a furniture charity before the new one arrives.

Measuring up before a sofa reaches WF11

Measure the front door, the hall width and the gap at the lounge door
Check whether the sofa's legs and back come off before ordering
Clear the hall and take the lounge door off its hinges if it is tight
Have the old sofa out of the room before the new one arrives
If the house is on a footpath row, the van stops on the road and the sofa is carried along
