Identify the parts before the collection
Ask the seller whether the chaise, corner and seat units disconnect, and whether any connectors need tools. Record the number of sections, loose cushions and separate feet. Include a storage base or reclining unit on the inventory. Keep fittings with the correct section so nothing is left behind at collection.
Plan corner sofa collection around your Charlbury access
For a Charlbury home move, identify private driveway space before suggesting a public car park. Where furniture must travel from a street position through a gate or passage, measure that entire route and explain who can keep shared access clear. Ask the seller for packed dimensions, photographs of the exit route and confirmation that the item can be released at the agreed time.
For corner sofa collection, prepare dimensions of each section, connection and leg details, largest section carrying route. Describe the collection and receiving points separately so the quote can reflect the whole job, including any carrying or handling beyond the vehicle.
Plan around the least flexible piece
Measure the widest or longest fixed unit against doorways, corridor turns and stairs. The fact that other sections fit does not prove this one will. Explain which floor each end is on and whether the lift can take the largest unit. Request dismantling separately if the sofa will not be ready to carry.
What to confirm with the seller
- Whether the sofa is already separated or still assembled.
- The agreed collection window and a contact who can release all sections.
- Any damage, delicate connectors or mechanism that needs discussing before handling.
Your Charlbury enquiry checklist
