Check the construction with the owner
Ask whether the wardrobe is solid furniture, a modular system or flat-pack construction. Note sliding doors, mirrored panels and fixed backs. Previously assembled flat-pack furniture may not tolerate repeated dismantling. Explain its condition and supply the manufacturer or assembly instructions where available; suitability cannot be assumed from a photograph.
Plan wardrobe collection at your Bishop's Cleeve address
For a centre-of-village flat or a seller collection, measure the narrowest doorway, stairs and longest carrying section. Check the seller’s release time before arranging another collection; a nearby public car park does not provide consent to use a private entrance.
Match the inventory to the actual carrying and preparation work. Tell us which items need help, whether you want packing or dismantling, and who will provide access at each property.
- For wardrobe collection, prepare: assembled and panel sizes; construction and mirror details; dismantling responsibility.
- Distinguish a residential front door, a shop’s goods entrance and a community venue’s unloading point. Give the actual receiving contact, not just a landmark in the village centre.
Allow for height when turning
Measure the route including ceiling height where the wardrobe must turn, not just the entrance opening. If it is to travel as panels, give the longest panel size and identify glass components. Empty the wardrobe and agree how shelves, rails and fittings will be packed. Dismantling and reassembly need an explicit agreement.
Your wardrobe collection checklist
- Confirm that the seller will release all doors, shelves and fittings.
- State whether it is empty and prepared to carry.
- Describe access to the final room, including stairs and tight corners.
