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 Newcastle-under-Lyme address
For corner sofa collection involving Newcastle-under-Lyme, give the full ST5 address and the exact entrance. Use the full name Newcastle-under-Lyme, Staffordshire and the complete ST5 address; do not shorten the destination to Newcastle or rely on a general town-centre reference. Identify the exact town-centre, university-area, business or residential entrance and record one-way streets, timed controls, floor level, carrying distance and lawful loading access.
Check Staffordshire County Council's roadworks map, traffic regulation orders, parking guidance and any required temporary traffic-management 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 corner sofa collection, prepare: dimensions of each section; connection and leg details; largest section carrying route.
- Name the actual Newcastle-under-Lyme 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.
