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.
Plan armchair collection at the Ludlow address
For armchair collection involving Ludlow, give the full SY8 address and the exact entrance. Use Ludlow, Shropshire and the complete SY8 address; distinguish the premises from a general historic-centre, castle or wider south Shropshire reference. Identify the exact upper-floor, shopfront, residential, business or rural entrance, including restricted streets, gradients, steps, carrying distance and lawful loading access.
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 armchair collection, prepare: chair type and dimensions; mechanisms and loose parts; floor and entrance details.
- Name the actual Ludlow entrance and receiving contact, not merely a landmark, car park or town-centre reference.
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.
