Winding stairs and stone steps: a Todmorden sofa or bed carried in
Start with the bed. A weaver's cottage stair twists and narrows, so a solid king-size base may not make the turn. A divan that splits in two, or a frame you already own that can be unbolted, goes up in parts and is put back together in the bedroom. A mattress flexes only a little, so measure the tightest point of the stair against its width before ordering. A brand-new flat-pack bed stays boxed for you to build.
Sofas meet different trouble. Where a front door opens off the pavement the carry is short, but a top-and-bottom house can put a flight of stone steps between the van and the door, and a three-seater has to go down them wrapped and on its end. Check whether the arms or feet unscrew, because that can decide it. The van collects from the shop, the seller or a retailer's warehouse with your order reference.
Measure these before a sofa or bed comes to your Todmorden house
- The narrowest point of the front door, including any step or threshold
- The tightest turn on the stair, measured corner to corner
- The sofa's depth and back height, and whether its arms or legs detach
- How many stone steps there are between the road and your door, and which street the door is on
- Which room it is for; in a weaver's cottage that is often the top-floor bedroom up the winding stair
Where Todmorden sofa and bed deliveries need the most planning
- Weavers' cottagesupper-floor bedrooms up a narrow winding stair, where split bases make sense
- Top-and-bottom terracesthe door may be on a street above or below the van
- Converted mills by the Rochdale Canalthe lift size decides whether a sofa rides up or is carried
- Walsden and Cornholmeterraces along the main road, where the carry from the van can be short
- Cross Stone and Lumbutts lanessteep and narrow, so the van may park short of the house

Carrying distance and rebuild time in a Todmorden sofa or bed price
Where the piece is collected, the number of steps and stairs at your house and whether a bed has to be rebuilt set the price. You have it fixed before the van sets off. See how we quote for the full breakdown.
Sofa & Bed Delivery in Todmorden: your questions
Do you remove the old sofa?
No. The retailer's take-back scheme or Calderdale Council's bulky waste service deals with the old one, so check what it takes.
Can you collect from a store in Burnley or Halifax?
Yes. Give the store your name and order reference, and the van picks it up and brings it to your Todmorden address, carried in to the room.
What if it will not go up the stair?
Legs and arms come off first where they unscrew. If it still will not go, it stays wrapped and can be returned to the shop on a separate booking, so read the returns terms before you buy.
Will you put together a new bed?
No. Beds that have been built before are taken apart and rebuilt; a brand-new flat-pack bed in its carton is not.
