The phone is usually quickest

We're an old-school sofa shop. The phone is genuinely the fastest way to get hold of us, especially if you're asking about a specific sofa, the best price on something, or whether we can deliver this week. Email's fine for anything that needs photos or detail. Either way, you'll be dealing with the same family who's been running the place since 1983.

If you've seen a specific sofa on the site or in our fresh stock gallery that you're after, jot down the page or photo reference before you ring. Makes it quicker for us to find it on the warehouse floor and give you the right price.

For a Faster Reply

What helps us help you

If you're getting in touch about a specific sofa or job, a few details up front speed things up massively. None of this is mandatory, but the more you tell us the faster we can come back with something useful.

  • 1 The page or photo reference. If you've seen a sofa on the website, jot down the page URL or the photo number. Helps us find it on the floor.
  • 2 Your postcode. Tells us straight away whether we can deliver, when, and at what cost.
  • 3 Room dimensions if it's tight. Length, width, doorway width. Saves an awkward delivery later.
  • 4 Photos if something's wrong. A fault, a damage report, a part-exchange query. Photos are worth a thousand emails.
  • 5 Your order details for after-sales. Name on the order and rough date of purchase. Lets us look it up while you're on the phone.
  • 6 Best time to ring back. If you're emailing and we need to call, let us know when works.

Getting here

Grecian Mill is on Lever Street in central Bolton, BL3 6PB. Easy to reach from most of Greater Manchester and Lancashire.

  • By car from the M61

    Junction 3 of the M61 is about two minutes away. Off the motorway, follow signs for Bolton centre, then for Lever Street. Free parking right outside the mill.

  • By car from Bolton centre

    From Bolton town centre we're a five-minute drive south. Down Manchester Road, left onto Bridgeman Street, then onto Lever Street. The mill is on the right.

  • By bus

    Several Bolton buses stop within a five-minute walk on Manchester Road and St Helens Road. The 8, 36 and 37 are the closest routes. Bolton Interchange is about ten minutes away on foot.

  • By train

    Bolton railway station is around 15 minutes' walk, or a quick taxi ride from the station rank. Direct trains from Manchester Victoria, Preston, Manchester Piccadilly and Wigan.

Easiest way to start is a phone call.

Family run, no call centre, no chatbot, no fobbing off. Pick up the phone and you'll get someone in Bolton who knows what's in the warehouse this week. Opening at 9am tomorrow.
