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.
A Cheltenham collection with a clear carrying route
For a furniture collection from a Cheltenham flat or converted house, identify the actual entrance rather than relying on the street-facing frontage. A basement stair, shared hallway or turn behind a door can change the carrying plan. Ask the seller for photographs and measurements before committing to a collection slot.
Record the floor at both properties, the longest carry from a permitted stopping place, and who will be present to release and receive the item.
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.
Your Cheltenham enquiry checklist
- For armchair collection, have these details ready: chair type and dimensions; mechanisms and loose parts; floor and entrance details.
- Give both full postcodes and identify the exact entrance and receiving point. GL50 is a location reference, not the whole service area.
- Explain any unresolved permission, timing or handling question before accepting a quote.
- Check the quote’s supplier, price, inclusions and booking terms before confirming.
