Measure the frame as well as the cushions
Give the sofa’s width, depth and height, including the highest fixed part. Explain whether cushions and legs come off and whether it contains a recliner or sofa-bed mechanism. A two-seat description alone does not establish either weight or carrying requirements. Ask the seller for measurements before agreeing transport.
Plan sofa collection around your Atherstone access
A move from an Atherstone address near Long Street or Market Square needs the exact loading point and a clear route through any shared entrance. If a market or event overlaps your preferred date, ask the occupier how access will work. Keep the key handover time separate from the time a vehicle can reach the property.
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.
- Confirm the Long Street or Market Square entrance and any date-specific event access.
- For sofa collection, prepare: overall sofa dimensions; removable legs or sections; collection and delivery access.
Check the turn after the front door
The narrowest part of the route may be a hallway, stair landing or the space behind a door. Check the seller’s route out and your route in, including any lift. Do not assume removal of a door or lifting through a window is included. Describe uncertainty so handling suitability can be assessed before booking.
Send a sofa-specific request
- Name the sofa type and list each separate section.
- Confirm the seller’s available release window and who will receive delivery.
- Tell us whether the destination is a ground-floor room or upstairs.
Your Atherstone enquiry checklist
