Prepare the unit before carrying
Empty shelves and identify parts that can slide out. Arrange appropriate removal of wall fixings before the agreed collection, and retain the manufacturer’s instructions. Do not assume that carrying a loaded bookcase is suitable. Books need their own manageable boxes and must be counted separately if they are included in the move.
Plan bookshelf & shelving collection at the Tamworth address
For bookshelf & shelving collection involving Tamworth, give the full B79 address and the exact entrance. Use Tamworth, Staffordshire and the complete B79 address; distinguish the actual town premises from a broad district, castle-area or nearby Warwickshire reference. Identify the exact town-centre, riverside, business or residential entrance and record pedestrian areas, 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 bookshelf & shelving collection, prepare: height and construction; loose shelves and glass; wall fixing preparation.
- Name the actual Tamworth entrance and receiving contact, not merely a landmark, car park or town-centre reference.
Check stability and the turning route
Tell us about weak joints, thin backs or previous dismantling. A tall flat-pack unit may not remain stable when tilted. Measure the hallway and stair turns, including ceiling clearance, and state whether it is travelling assembled. Reassembly and fixing furniture to a wall are separate tasks requiring agreement; anchoring is not included by default.
What to put in the request
- Unit dimensions and whether the shelves are removable.
- Number of book boxes or other contents also moving.
- Any glass panels and access to the destination room.
