Prepare the unit before carrying
Empty shelves and identify parts that can slide out. Arrange appropriate removal of wall fixings before the agreed collection, and retain the manufacturer’s instructions. Do not assume that carrying a loaded bookcase is suitable. Books need their own manageable boxes and must be counted separately if they are included in the move.
Plan bookshelf & shelving collection around your Fazeley access
A Fazeley move may involve a canal-facing home with its vehicle entrance on another side. Send the road address and a photograph or description of the carrying route, including gates, steps and shared paths. Keep boxes inside until the agreed loading position and crew are ready so access remains clear.
Measure the item in its travel condition and the tightest doorway or turn. Ask the seller to confirm what can be dismantled and who will prepare it before collection.
- Identify the road entrance separately from any canal or waterside landmark.
- For bookshelf & shelving collection, prepare: height and construction; loose shelves and glass; wall fixing preparation.
Check stability and the turning route
Tell us about weak joints, thin backs or previous dismantling. A tall flat-pack unit may not remain stable when tilted. Measure the hallway and stair turns, including ceiling clearance, and state whether it is travelling assembled. Reassembly and fixing furniture to a wall are separate tasks requiring agreement; anchoring is not included by default.
What to put in the request
- Unit dimensions and whether the shelves are removable.
- Number of book boxes or other contents also moving.
- Any glass panels and access to the destination room.
Your Fazeley enquiry checklist
- For bookshelf & shelving collection, have these details ready: height and construction; loose shelves and glass; wall fixing preparation.
- Give both full postcodes and identify the exact entrance and receiving point. B78 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.
