Separate the components on the inventory
A divan may have two bases and a separate headboard; an ottoman can include a heavier lifting mechanism. Give the dimensions of the largest rigid part and say whether the frame is assembled. Identify mattresses separately, including quantity and condition. This is a transport enquiry for usable belongings, not a mattress-disposal booking.
Plan bed & mattress collection around your Oldbury access
For an Oldbury removal, photograph any barrier between the street and the building and give its marked height. Albert Street, Low Town and West Bromwich Street parking have published height restrictions, so do not base a larger van's access on a previous visit by car. If a barrier prevents close approach, measure the alternative carrying distance and explain stairs or door turns along it.
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.
- Check the named Oldbury car park's height limit and the actual loading entrance before choosing a vehicle position.
- For bed & mattress collection, prepare: frame and mattress sizes; bases, slats and fittings; preparation and assembly needs.
Keep the mattress and fittings protected
Agree suitable protective packaging before the day and keep surfaces clean and dry. Do not assume a mattress can be folded; check its instructions. Bag small fittings and label them for the correct frame. If you need the bed taken apart or reassembled, describe that work in the enquiry rather than leaving it until arrival.
Before collection is confirmed
- Check the route for the headboard and longest frame section.
- Confirm who prepares the bed and retains the fittings.
- Agree the receiving room and carrying help at delivery.
Your Oldbury enquiry checklist
- For bed & mattress collection, have these details ready: frame and mattress sizes; bases, slats and fittings; preparation and assembly needs.
- Give both full postcodes and identify the exact entrance and receiving point. B69 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.
