Measure the frame as well as the cushions
Give the sofa’s width, depth and height, including the highest fixed part. Explain whether cushions and legs come off and whether it contains a recliner or sofa-bed mechanism. A two-seat description alone does not establish either weight or carrying requirements. Ask the seller for measurements before agreeing transport.
Plan sofa collection at the Church Stretton address
For sofa collection involving Church Stretton, give the full SY6 address and the exact entrance. Use Church Stretton, Shropshire and the complete SY6 address; distinguish the premises from the wider Strettons, Long Mynd or general visitor destination. Identify the exact valley, hillside, town or rural approach, including gradients, lane width, signed limits, gates, surface and a safe stopping or turning point.
Check Shropshire Council's interactive roadworks map, current closures and any required temporary restriction process and all current street signs close to the booked date. A postcode does not establish permission, vehicle suitability or a safe handover point; agree private access with the property contact and arrange any required council permission separately.
- For sofa collection, prepare: overall sofa dimensions; removable legs or sections; collection and delivery access.
- Name the actual Church Stretton entrance and receiving contact, not merely a landmark, car park or town-centre reference.
Check the turn after the front door
The narrowest part of the route may be a hallway, stair landing or the space behind a door. Check the seller’s route out and your route in, including any lift. Do not assume removal of a door or lifting through a window is included. Describe uncertainty so handling suitability can be assessed before booking.
Send a sofa-specific request
- Name the sofa type and list each separate section.
- Confirm the seller’s available release window and who will receive delivery.
- Tell us whether the destination is a ground-floor room or upstairs.
Your Church Stretton enquiry checklist

- Explain any unresolved permission, timing or handling question before accepting a quote.
- Check the quote’s supplier, price, inclusions and booking terms before confirming.
