The loading window, and the closes the van cannot enter

Shopkeepers on Commercial Street can load before ten in the morning and after four in the afternoon, and outside those hours the street is closed to everything but buses. A Rothwell sofa delivery into a flat above the shops therefore gets booked into one of those two windows, or it becomes a carry from the Marsh Street car park. We will tell you which when you give us the address, rather than turning up and discovering it.

Out at the new estates the obstacle is geometry. Block-paved closes have small turning heads, bollarded footpath links that no van gets through, and driveways filling most of the frontage. We usually stand at the mouth of the close and walk the pieces in, which is straightforward for a two-part corner suite and slower for a fixed three-seater. House number and street name are enough for us to work out which end to come in from.

What Rothwell sofa & bed delivery usually involves

Commercial Street loading is before 10am or after 4pm, so town-centre drops get booked into one of those windows
The free Marsh Street car park is the main centre option and the fallback when the loading window has closed
Victorian terraces off Marsh Street and Butcher Lane have no rear access and permanent kerbside parking, so the front door does everything
New-build closes at Oulton and Woodlesford have narrow turning heads and bollarded footpath links, so the van stands at the entrance
Junction 7 of the M621 and Junction 44 of the M1 back up with Stourton freight at peak, so we book either side of the rush

If your street isn't listed it's almost certainly still covered, Rothwell and the surrounding LS26 postcodes are all inside our normal working area.

What it costs

Timing and access set the price here: a Commercial Street drop inside the loading window is a different job from a long walk into a bollarded close. There's no travel surcharge for coming to Rothwell from Bradford, and you get the price before we set off, not after. See how we quote for the full breakdown.

Frequently asked questions: sofa & bed delivery in Rothwell

Can you deliver to a flat on Commercial Street?

Yes, if we book it into the loading window. Vehicles other than buses are kept out between about ten and four, so we aim for an early morning or late afternoon slot. If neither suits, we park at Marsh Street and carry, which takes longer but works any time of day.

Our house is on one of the Oulton closes, can the van get in?

Often not to the door. Those closes have small turning heads and bollarded footpath links, so we normally stand at the entrance and walk the pieces in. Give us the house number and street when you book and we will work out the shortest approach beforehand.

Is there a surcharge for coming out from Bradford?

No. Rothwell is inside the area we cover and there is no travel surcharge anywhere in it. The price is fixed before the job starts and reflects what is being moved and how far it has to be carried once we stop, not the motorway miles to get there.
