The tabletop determines much of the plan
Glass, stone and solid-wood tops can have very different handling needs. Give dimensions, known weight and construction details. Explain whether the top separates from the base and whether the seller will prepare it. Do not assume a large or unusually heavy top is suitable for an ordinary furniture collection.
Plan dining table & chair collection around your Witney access
For a Witney move, provide the height of any entrance barrier and confirm a suitable loading position outside restricted visitor parking. Describe lifts, stairs and the carry to the home so the vehicle choice and crew are based on the actual route. Ask the seller for packed dimensions, photographs of the exit route and confirmation that the item can be released at the agreed time.
For dining table & chair collection, prepare table and chair quantities, top material and dimensions, removable legs and leaves. Describe the collection and receiving points separately so the quote can reflect the whole job, including any carrying or handling beyond the vehicle.
Count the pieces that are easy to miss
Include spare extension leaves, seat pads and detached legs. Ask how the chairs can be packed or carried without pressure on their backs. Measure the largest rigid section against entrances and stair turns at both addresses. Retain fittings in a labelled bag and specify whether assembly is requested on delivery.
Make the dining-set request complete
- State the table size when prepared for transport.
- Include every chair and loose extension component.
- Flag fragile tops or existing damage before handling is agreed.
Your Witney enquiry checklist
- For dining table & chair collection, have these details ready: table and chair quantities; top material and dimensions; removable legs and leaves.
- Give both full postcodes and the entrance used for the job. Explain whether the Witney address has private loading space or needs an agreed street position.
- Explain any unresolved permission, timing or handling question before accepting a quote.
- Check the quote’s supplier, price, inclusions and booking terms before confirming.
