Use the appliance’s own instructions
Different appliances have different requirements for draining, securing moving parts and transport orientation. Refer to the manufacturer’s instructions and arrange any necessary qualified disconnection. Tell us about known weight and any restrictions on tilting. Do not assume one method suits every fridge or washing machine.
Plan appliance collection around your Solihull access
For a Solihull move involving High Street or Mell Square, ask the building contact how furniture vehicles gain authorised access and which hours apply. A daytime key handover may not coincide with a permitted vehicle window. If loading must happen from another lawful point, measure the carrying route and identify lifts or shared corridors; agree the sequence before confirming the move.
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.
- For Solihull High Street or Mell Square, establish access permission and the allowed vehicle window before arranging the handover.
- For appliance collection, prepare: appliance model and size; preparation responsibilities; access and carrying route.
Separate transport from installation
Describe whether the appliance is freestanding, integrated or attached to surrounding furniture. It must be released and ready in the way agreed before collection. Gas, electrical and plumbing work are not automatically included. Plan reconnection with a suitable provider and keep any brackets, hoses or transit fittings identified for that appliance.
Your appliance collection details

Your Solihull enquiry checklist
