Use the appliance’s own instructions
Different appliances have different requirements for draining, securing moving parts and transport orientation. Refer to the manufacturer’s instructions and arrange any necessary qualified disconnection. Tell us about known weight and any restrictions on tilting. Do not assume one method suits every fridge or washing machine.
Plan appliance collection around your Aldridge access
For an Aldridge move, specify the full WS9 address, driveway dimensions and any shared access before estimating the carrying work. If loading depends on restricted road space, establish the lawful arrangement early and allow for a longer carry if permission is unavailable. Keep entrances and pavements clear while boxes and furniture are moved.
Measure the item in its travel condition and the tightest doorway or turn. Ask the seller to confirm what can be dismantled and who will prepare it before collection.
- Agree a lawful Aldridge loading location and a fallback carrying or handover point if restricted road space cannot be used.
- For appliance collection, prepare: appliance model and size; preparation responsibilities; access and carrying route.
Separate transport from installation
Describe whether the appliance is freestanding, integrated or attached to surrounding furniture. It must be released and ready in the way agreed before collection. Gas, electrical and plumbing work are not automatically included. Plan reconnection with a suitable provider and keep any brackets, hoses or transit fittings identified for that appliance.
Your appliance collection details
- Make, model, dimensions and available weight information.
- Who disconnects, prepares and receives the appliance.
- Steps, narrow turns and loading distance at both addresses.
Your Aldridge enquiry checklist
- For appliance collection, have these details ready: appliance model and size; preparation responsibilities; access and carrying route.
- Give both full postcodes and identify the exact entrance and receiving point. WS9 is a location reference, not the whole service area.
- Explain any unresolved permission, timing or handling question before accepting a quote.
- Check the quote’s supplier, price, inclusions and booking terms before confirming.
