Oldham sofa shoppers usually end up trekking into Manchester, over to the Trafford Centre, or down to Failsworth Retail Park. All have showrooms, all have the same problem: the sofa you sit on is the display piece, the one you'll actually get is in a factory somewhere with a six to twelve week lead time.
Alec's is different. We're an independent clearance warehouse in Bolton, 15 miles west of Oldham town centre, around 30 minutes via the M60 anti-clockwise. We hold over 500 sofas in stock at any one time, all priced sensibly, all ready to leave the warehouse the same day you choose them. Same UK manufacturers as the chains, same build quality, very different prices and waits.
We deliver across every part of the Oldham borough, from the town centre out to the Saddleworth villages on the Pennine edge. Hills, cobbles, narrow Victorian doorways and farm tracks all part of the regular routes.

Yes, on most stock items if booked early in the day. Oldham runs are frequent for us so the routing is straightforward across OL1-OL9. Order before midday and we'll often have it with you by tea time. Delivery is £45.
All the Oldham borough postcodes. OL1 (town centre, Werneth), OL2 (Royton, Shaw, Crompton), OL3 (Saddleworth — Delph, Diggle, Dobcross, Uppermill), OL4 (Lees, Springhead, Grotton, Greenfield), OL5 (Mossley), OL6 (Ashton-under-Lyne edge), OL7 (Hartshead), OL8 (Hollins, Coppice), OL9 (Chadderton, Hollinwood).

Yes. Uppermill, Delph, Dobcross, Diggle, Greenfield, Denshaw — all on regular OL3 and OL4 routes. The drive is closer to 45 minutes from us via the A669 over the moors, so we plan around the right team for the day. Cobbled streets, steep approaches and the older stone cottages we know well.
Yes. Saddleworth cottages typically have low Victorian doorways, narrow flagstone halls, and tight stairwell turns. Many also sit up cobbled lanes that lorries can't reach, so we use vans that can. Measure the narrowest opening, take a photo of the lane approach if relevant, and we'll plan it. Most of our sofas split into sections for tight access.
Yes, both part of our regular OL9 routes. Chadderton and Failsworth sit closer to Manchester so the journey from us is around 25-30 minutes via the M60. Same-day available with morning booking.
Yes. Royton, Shaw, Crompton, High Crompton and Thornham are all OL2 same-day runs. Around 30-35 minutes from us via the M60 and M62.
Failsworth is closer to Oldham than we are, and the Trafford Centre has the polish. Both run the same model: showroom display, finance options, 6-12 week lead times from a factory you'll never see. We hold the stock. Same brands and quality, fair prices, same-day delivery. The 30-minute drive saves 8 weeks of waiting.
Plenty of times. Oldham terraces typically have narrow front doors and a tight hall turn into the lounge. Measure the doorway and the turn, take a photo of the route, show us when you visit. Most of our sofas split into sections or have removable feet for tight access. The hills around Oldham we know — steep approaches don't trouble us.
Yes, for a short period in most cases. Stock moves fast on popular pieces, so send measurements quickly to lock it in. If you've spotted something online, ring us first to confirm it's still available before the trip across.
Narrowest doorway, tightest hallway turn, and stair head clearance if going upstairs. For Saddleworth cottages also worth measuring the doorway height — Victorian and earlier properties often have lower lintels than modern stock allows for. A phone photo of the access route always helps.
Yes, for £45 which covers the local refuse centre disposal cost. Mention it when booking the delivery slot so we plan the van capacity.
Yes. Most customers pay by card on delivery or in the warehouse before we load up. No finance applications, no credit checks, no monthly payment gimmicks.
No, we have one warehouse in Bolton and that's where the stock lives. 15 miles from Oldham town centre, around 30 minutes via the M60. Free parking, open seven days.
