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 at the Kington address
For corner sofa collection involving Kington, give the full HR5 address and the exact entrance. Use Kington, Herefordshire and the complete HR5 address; distinguish it from other places called Kington and from a general Welsh-border destination. Identify the named property and final rural or town approach, including lane width, gradients, surface, signed restrictions, passing places and safe turning space.
Check Herefordshire Council's live roadworks map, current traffic orders and any required temporary parking permission 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 corner sofa collection, prepare: dimensions of each section; connection and leg details; largest section carrying route.
- Name the actual Kington entrance and receiving contact, not merely a landmark, car park or town-centre reference.
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.
