Furniture disassembly and assembly

List each item and task

Give the make or model if known, note which parts must come apart and say whether you need dismantling, reassembly or both. Photos and instruction sheets can clarify unusual fittings.

• Wardrobes, beds and other items by name
• Dismantling, assembly or both
• Fixings, manuals and any missing parts

Confirm what the crew will do

Ask whether tools and labour are included, how the work affects the quoted time and who is responsible for keeping small parts together. Do not assume wall-mounted or electrical work is included.

Prepare the furniture

Empty drawers and cupboards and remove personal items. Keep screws and fittings labelled with the item they belong to.
