List furniture needing dismantling before requesting a quote. Reassembly should be confirmed separately, especially for fitted, damaged or manufacturer-specific pieces.
Document each item
Photograph the assembled furniture and any existing damage. Keep assembly instructions if available and tell the provider about missing fasteners or modifications. Measure the carrying route so disassembly decisions are based on access, not guesswork.
Ask who will dismantle each piece and whether specialist work is required. Do not assume every flat-pack item tolerates repeated dismantling or that the crew can repair worn joints.
Keep hardware with the right item
Use labelled containers for fasteners and removable parts, and agree how they will travel. A photo of where parts belong can help, but should not replace manufacturer instructions.
At the new home, decide placement before reassembly begins. Check stability and intended function before loading shelves or using the furniture. Report missing components promptly while the inventory is still easy to trace.
Should I dismantle everything beforehand?
Only according to the agreed scope and your ability to do so safely. Unnecessary dismantling may create extra work or damage.
Is wall anchoring included?
Ask explicitly and obtain permission for any required drilling. Carrying, assembly and fixing furniture to a wall are different tasks.
