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 around your Rugby access
For a Rugby move, describe both properties and the loading position rather than using Railway Terrace or another car park as the home address. Give the key release time and any access booking separately. If only part of a house or office is moving, mark the items clearly so the vehicle and carrying plan match the real load.
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.
- Identify the Rugby premises and receiving entrance separately from any parking landmark.
- For sofa collection, prepare: overall sofa dimensions; removable legs or sections; collection and delivery 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.
Your Rugby enquiry checklist
- For sofa collection, have these details ready: overall sofa dimensions; removable legs or sections; collection and delivery access.
- Give both full postcodes and identify the exact entrance and receiving point. CV21 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.
