Check the construction with the owner
Ask whether the wardrobe is solid furniture, a modular system or flat-pack construction. Note sliding doors, mirrored panels and fixed backs. Previously assembled flat-pack furniture may not tolerate repeated dismantling. Explain its condition and supply the manufacturer or assembly instructions where available; suitability cannot be assumed from a photograph.
Plan wardrobe 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 wardrobe collection, prepare: assembled and panel sizes; construction and mirror details; dismantling responsibility.
Allow for height when turning
Measure the route including ceiling height where the wardrobe must turn, not just the entrance opening. If it is to travel as panels, give the longest panel size and identify glass components. Empty the wardrobe and agree how shelves, rails and fittings will be packed. Dismantling and reassembly need an explicit agreement.
Your wardrobe collection checklist
- Confirm that the seller will release all doors, shelves and fittings.
- State whether it is empty and prepared to carry.
- Describe access to the final room, including stairs and tight corners.
Your Fazeley enquiry checklist
- For wardrobe collection, have these details ready: assembled and panel sizes; construction and mirror details; dismantling responsibility.
- 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.
