Measure the frame as well as the cushions
Give the sofa’s width, depth and height, including the highest fixed part. Explain whether cushions and legs come off and whether it contains a recliner or sofa-bed mechanism. A two-seat description alone does not establish either weight or carrying requirements. Ask the seller for measurements before agreeing transport.
Plan sofa collection at your Northway address
Northway includes homes, workplaces and managed premises with different entrances. Give the complete GL20 address, exact goods or furniture entrance, surface, access window and the person who can authorise the agreed handover point. Include the room-by-room inventory, stairs, carrying distance and any dismantling request. Check the Gloucestershire Highways maps for current or planned works on the booked date. This guidance does not grant loading permission, promise access or confirm availability.
Match the inventory to the carrying and preparation work. Tell us which items need help, whether packing or dismantling is requested, and who will provide access.

Check the turn after the front door
The narrowest part of the route may be a hallway, stair landing or the space behind a door. Check the seller’s route out and your route in, including any lift. Do not assume removal of a door or lifting through a window is included. Describe uncertainty so handling suitability can be assessed before booking.
Send a sofa-specific request
- Name the sofa type and list each separate section.
- Confirm the seller’s available release window and who will receive delivery.
- Tell us whether the destination is a ground-floor room or upstairs.
