Describe what is inside the chair
Recliners can contain a heavy frame or motor. Give a known weight if available and explain whether the back separates according to its instructions. Include matching footstools and detached parts. Do not force a mechanism or remove structural fittings just to make the chair smaller. Raise preparation questions before the collection is agreed.
Plan armchair collection at your Blockley address
For a single furniture item, ask the Blockley seller for its travel dimensions and the route out of the property. A short drive to the buyer does not remove handling work on a stepped or sloping approach.
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 armchair collection, prepare: chair type and dimensions; mechanisms and loose parts; floor and entrance details.
- The street address does not describe the carrying route on a sloping site. Include the rise or fall from the agreed loading position to the doorway and any steps or tight turns.
Decide where the chair should finish
A delivery to an upstairs room is a different request from a ground-floor entrance. Check doorway widths, landings and lift dimensions at both addresses. Identify the intended room and whether existing furniture will obstruct the route. Make clear if you need all carrying done for you rather than assuming assistance is available.
Add these details to the enquiry
- The chair’s widest fixed dimensions and any known weight.
- Whether detachable parts will be prepared before collection.
- Both postcodes and the seller’s or household’s access window.
