Prepare the unit before carrying
Empty shelves and identify parts that can slide out. Arrange appropriate removal of wall fixings before the agreed collection, and retain the manufacturer’s instructions. Do not assume that carrying a loaded bookcase is suitable. Books need their own manageable boxes and must be counted separately if they are included in the move.
Plan bookshelf & shelving collection at the Bilston address
For bookshelf & shelving collection involving Bilston, give the full WV14 address and the exact entrance. Use Bilston, City of Wolverhampton and the complete WV14 address; distinguish the town property from a general Wolverhampton, Black Country or similarly named industrial-estate destination. Identify the exact town-centre, terraced, industrial, canalside or residential entrance and record signed restrictions, bridge or weight constraints, floor level, carrying distance and lawful loading access.
Check City of Wolverhampton Council's road-management, traffic regulation, pavement-parking and highway-obstruction guidance and all current street signs close to the booked date. A postcode does not establish permission, vehicle suitability or a safe handover point; agree private access with the property contact and arrange any required council permission separately.
- For bookshelf & shelving collection, prepare: height and construction; loose shelves and glass; wall fixing preparation.
- Name the actual Bilston entrance and receiving contact, not merely a landmark, car park or town-centre reference.
Check stability and the turning route
Tell us about weak joints, thin backs or previous dismantling. A tall flat-pack unit may not remain stable when tilted. Measure the hallway and stair turns, including ceiling clearance, and state whether it is travelling assembled. Reassembly and fixing furniture to a wall are separate tasks requiring agreement; anchoring is not included by default.
What to put in the request
- Unit dimensions and whether the shelves are removable.
- Number of book boxes or other contents also moving.
- Any glass panels and access to the destination room.
