Sofas through Skipton doors and beds up Dales stairs
In a terrace off Broughton Road or Keighley Road the sofa comes off the van onto the pavement and in through the front door, stood on end and turned. Feet and a removable back help. A flat over a High Street shop is harder: a steep stair with a turn will take a two-seater far more readily than a large three-seater, and market days mean booking a Tuesday, Thursday or Sunday instead.
Holiday lets up the dale are a job of their own. A replacement sofa or bed may have to be in place between guests, so the delivery is fitted into the changeover, with the owner or the cleaner there to open the door. The bed is rebuilt in the room, ready for the linen. Old beds and sofas stay at the property, and the owner decides what happens to them.

Sofa & Bed Delivery in Skipton: your questions
Can a sofa go up to a flat over a High Street shop?
Often, if the feet and back come off and the stair turn is wide enough. Send the stair width, the head height at the turn and the sofa's depth first, and you will know before buying whether a two-seater or a sofa in sections is the safer choice.
Can you deliver a bed to my holiday let between guests?
Yes, if someone is at the cottage to let the van in during the changeover. The bed is carried up in pieces and rebuilt in the room.
Will you take the old mattress?
No, it stays at the property. North Yorkshire Council's bulky waste collection or the retailer's own scheme is the route.
Is there a surcharge for Skipton?
No, Skipton is in the core area and the fixed price includes the drive.
