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 at the Bishop's Castle address
For appliance collection involving Bishop's Castle, give the full SY9 address and the exact entrance. Use Bishop's Castle, Shropshire and the complete SY9 address; retain the apostrophe in visible copy and distinguish the town from a building or similarly named destination. Identify the exact hill-town or rural approach, including gradients, narrow lanes, signed limits, surfaces, passing places and a safe place to stop or turn.
Check Shropshire Council's interactive roadworks map, current closures and any required temporary restriction process 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 appliance collection, prepare: appliance model and size; preparation responsibilities; access and carrying route.
- Name the actual Bishop's Castle entrance and receiving contact, not merely a landmark, car park or town-centre reference.
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

- Explain any unresolved permission, timing or handling question before accepting a quote.
- Check the quote’s supplier, price, inclusions and booking terms before confirming.
