Confirm the exact seller premises and complete purchase first. Prepare the sofa as agreed, keep every loose part with the load and give the recipient the same dimensions and inventory before collection.

Agree the full purchase and preparation responsibility
Ask the seller to identify everything included, the travelling state and release contact. List accompanying furniture, cushions, parts and boxes, including any additional pickup or delivery.
Record prepared dimensions and who removes any agreed parts. Use the seller-to-room quote record to choose space and help for the complete load and both carrying routes.
Label parts and keep the actual entrance usable
Keep removed legs or fittings labelled with the sofa, protect vulnerable surfaces and pack loose goods into manageable closed boxes. Compare the largest prepared section with the current street-side entrance, shared-door turns and relevant lift or stairs.
Confirm the seller’s opening person and keep the whole furniture route clear through loading. A river-facing room or garden remains a location description; retain the actual working door and vehicle approach in the handover.
Reconfirm both properties and the complete sequence
Use the position-and-entrance record for the approved street or private arrangement. Have the recipient confirm keys, the final room and fit with the same prepared section.
Give fixed seller, keyholder, building or facility limits before booking. Connect checking, preparation, both carries, loading, all stops, travel, unloading and final placement. With customer loading and unloading, arrange sufficient people throughout at both ends and report changes promptly.
The labelled legs arrive with the prepared sofa
Illustrative example: a Putney seller prepares a sofa and keeps its removed legs and cushions with the agreed purchase. The customer confirms the furniture door and lawful vehicle position.
The recipient checks the same inventory and prepared dimensions against the receiving route. Both contacts keep the complete sequence and fixed windows available, including the person who can resolve admission problems.
Finish the purchase-to-room handover
- Exact seller address, complete purchase and all stops.
- Prepared dimensions, labelled parts and protection.
- Clear actual entrance and confirmed vehicle position.
- Both opening contacts, receiving keys and final room.
- Fixed windows, selected help and reported changes.
Keep the seller-to-recipient sequence with London scheduling guidance. A suitable vetted provider is allocated after booking according to requirements and availability.
