When Your Furniture Won't Fit in the Car

🔧 DIY Tips
Determined to collect it yourself? Here's what you need to know:
🔧 Before you hire a van
- Measure the furniture (length, width, height)
- Measure your doorways and staircases
- Check your car insurance covers van driving
- Book the van size up from what you think you need
📦 Loading safely
- Protect furniture with blankets or cardboard corners
- Heaviest items go in first, at the front
- Strap everything down - nothing should move when you brake
- Keep the van's back doors clear in case you need to reload
⚠️ Common DIY mistakes
- Hiring a van that's too small
- Damaging furniture trying to force it through tight doorways
- Scratching the van (then paying the excess)
- Not having enough people to lift heavy items safely
💡 Pro trick: For heavy sofas or wardrobes, remove the legs/feet before loading. Takes 2 minutes and gives you crucial extra clearance through doorways.
Rather leave it to a pro? No problem - that's what I'm here for. Give me a call.
Good to Know
📦 Need assembly too? I can assemble flat-pack furniture at the same time as delivery. Saves you a second booking and I've already got the tools with me.
Buying multiple pieces from the same store? One collection covers everything - much more cost-effective than multiple trips.
Exeter's older houses? Narrow hallways and twisting staircases are standard around here. I deal with them daily and know how to get furniture through tight spaces without damage.
Frequently Asked Questions
What furniture can you deliver?
Anything that fits in the van - sofas, dining tables, wardrobes, beds, flat-packs, garden furniture. If you've bought it and need it delivered, just let me know what it is and I'll confirm it'll fit.
Can you collect from IKEA or other big stores?
Yes - that's really common. You buy online for collection, I pick it up and bring it to yours. Much easier than trying to squeeze a flat-pack wardrobe into your hatchback.
Will you bring the furniture inside my house?
Yes - that's included. I'll carry it through to whichever room you want. If you need it assembled that's a separate job, but getting it safely into your house is part of the delivery.
Can you collect second-hand furniture I've bought online?
Absolutely. Facebook Marketplace, Gumtree, wherever - just send me the seller's address and let me know when they're expecting collection. I'll handle the pickup and delivery.
How much notice do you need?
Depends on my schedule. If I've got a gap, same-day is sometimes possible. Usually 24-48 hours is ideal. Give me a call and we'll work out a time that suits both you and the collection point.
