Forty years of Tameside runs
Tameside isn't one place. It's a borough made up of nine distinct towns, each with its own character and access quirks. We deliver to all of them seven days a week, same-day where possible, with vans that know the difference between a Hyde terrace and a Mossley hillside cottage.
Most Tameside sofa shoppers end up at Snipe Retail Park in Audenshaw, the Trafford Centre, or driving into Manchester. Snipe is closer than we are. Trafford has the polish. Both run the same model: showroom display, finance options, factory lead times that drift from six weeks to twelve.
Alec's is different. We're an independent clearance warehouse in Bolton, around 35 minutes via the M60 from most Tameside postcodes. 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 borough, from the densely packed terraces of Hyde and Ashton to the rural cottages on the Mossley and Longdendale Pennine edge. The borough has the geography of three or four different towns, and our delivery team knows which van and team to bring for each.

Everything you see is here today. Same-day delivery across all Tameside postcodes when booked before midday. No factory waits, no shipping delays.

We deliver across all nine Tameside towns seven days a week. Each town has different characteristics — Ashton's town centre flats, Hyde's terraces, Mossley's Peak District edge, Denton's suburban estates. Tell us your postcode and we'll match the right van to the route.

Real questions from real Tameside customers. If yours is not here, ring us.
Around 35 minutes from most Tameside towns. From Denton, Audenshaw or Droylsden it's M60 anti-clockwise to the M61 into Bolton. From Hyde or Stalybridge the M67 onto the M60 onto the M61. From Mossley or Longdendale closer to 45 minutes via the A635 across.
Yes, on most stock items if booked early in the day. Tameside runs are frequent so routing is straightforward across all the borough's postcodes — OL6, OL7, SK14, SK15, SK16, M34 and M43. Order before midday and we'll often have it with you by tea time. Delivery is £45.
All the borough's postcodes. OL6 and OL7 for Ashton-under-Lyne, OL5 for Mossley, SK14 for Hyde and Mottram, SK15 for Stalybridge, SK16 for Dukinfield, M34 for Denton and Audenshaw, M43 for Droylsden. Same-day available across all.
Yes, Ashton is one of our regular Tameside runs. About 18 miles from us via the M60. Town centre flats around the Market Hall and the terraces along Stamford Street we know well. Same-day with morning booking.
Yes, all SK14, SK15 and SK16 are regular runs. Hyde has plenty of Victorian terraces with narrow front doors, Stalybridge town centre is straightforward, Dukinfield has a mix of semis and terraces. Tell us your road and access and we'll plan it.
Yes. Denton (M34), Audenshaw (M34) and Droylsden (M43) are all part of our regular western Tameside runs. These are the closest parts of Tameside to us so journey time is around 30 minutes via the M60. Same-day with early booking.
Yes. Mossley, Micklehurst, Carrbrook and across into Longdendale (Mottram, Hollingworth, Broadbottom, Tintwistle) are all on our routes. The drive from us is closer to 45 minutes for these areas, so we plan around the right team for the day. Hillside cottages with steep approaches and tight stone doorways we know well.
Snipe at Audenshaw is closer to most Tameside residents than we are, and the chains there have polished showrooms with finance options. Where we win is on stock you can take home today (vs their 6-12 week orders), one fair ticket price (vs "was/now" with finance fine-print), and no commission salespeople. The 25-30 extra minutes of drive saves you 8 weeks of waiting.
Plenty of times. Ashton and Hyde have plenty of Victorian terraces with narrow front doors, tight halls, and 90-degree turns into the lounge. Measure the doorway and 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.
Yes, town centre flats are a regular run. Tell us the floor, whether there's a lift, and any tight stair turns. If lift access is restricted or parking is tight (a common Ashton/Stalybridge problem), we'll plan a quieter time to deliver.
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.
Yes, for £45 which covers the local refuse centre disposal cost. Mention it when booking the delivery slot so we plan the van capacity, especially important for upstairs Hyde or Ashton terraces.
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. Around 35 minutes from most of Tameside via the M60. Free parking, open seven days. Most Tameside customers find the drive worth it once they see the stock and prices, especially given the alternative is an 8-week wait at the chains.
Around 35 minutes via the M60 from Ashton, Hyde, Denton, Stalybridge or any Tameside postcode. 500+ sofas in stock, same-day delivery available. Open now, until 5pm.
