Identify the desk construction
Distinguish a simple table-style desk from a large pedestal desk, glass workstation or powered sit-stand model. List attached drawers and cable trays. If the top is removable, confirm who will detach it and keep the fixings. Powered furniture should be prepared according to its instructions; transport does not include electrical repair.
Plan desk 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 desk collection, prepare: desktop and frame dimensions; drawers or powered components; destination room access.
- 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.
Plan the room as well as the journey
Empty drawers, remove loose electronics and label separate accessories. Measure narrow landings and the final room doorway before assuming the desktop will fit. Say whether a chair, monitor stand or shelving should travel too. Those items need to be on the inventory rather than added to the van on the day.
Include in your desk enquiry
- The largest prepared component and any known weight.
- Whether dismantling or assembly is requested.
- Collection times, both postcodes and the floor at each property.
