Describe what is inside the chair
Recliners can contain a heavy frame or motor. Give a known weight if available and explain whether the back separates according to its instructions. Include matching footstools and detached parts. Do not force a mechanism or remove structural fittings just to make the chair smaller. Raise preparation questions before the collection is agreed.
Plan armchair collection around your Tewkesbury access
For furniture collected in Tewkesbury, ask the seller to confirm the release address, doorway measurements and a dry place to keep the item until arrival. If an access route becomes unavailable, agree a safe alternative rather than leaving goods outside for collection.
For armchair collection, prepare chair type and dimensions, mechanisms and loose parts, floor and entrance details. Describe the collection and receiving points separately so the quote can reflect the whole job, including any carrying or handling beyond the vehicle.
Decide where the chair should finish
A delivery to an upstairs room is a different request from a ground-floor entrance. Check doorway widths, landings and lift dimensions at both addresses. Identify the intended room and whether existing furniture will obstruct the route. Make clear if you need all carrying done for you rather than assuming assistance is available.
Add these details to the enquiry
- The chair’s widest fixed dimensions and any known weight.
- Whether detachable parts will be prepared before collection.
- Both postcodes and the seller’s or household’s access window.
