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 Wednesbury access
For Wednesbury moves, use the full WS10 address and confirm whether the van can stand within the property or needs permitted road space. If the approach is near Axletree Way or Patent Drive, check the red-route signs. Measure the carry and any steps separately from the driving distance.
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 Wednesbury, separate the site entrance and approved loading area from a red-route approach.
- 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.
