Taking furniture apart and putting it back together
A bed frame, table or wardrobe may be too large for the moving route. Discuss which pieces need to come apart and what you want reassembled at the destination.
- Dismantling at the old address
- Assembly in the agreed place
- Discuss furniture type and condition
- Include it in your moving request
What to share with your request
- Furniture types and quantities, with photos and available instructions.
- What needs dismantling and what is already taken apart.
- Known damage, missing parts or wall fixings.
- The intended position and available space at the destination.
The furniture construction matters
Not every piece of furniture is designed to be dismantled again. Photos, make and model details, and assembly instructions help assess the task. Mention damage, missing parts and any previous modifications.
This service covers agreed furniture tasks associated with the move. Gas, electrical and water connections are not automatically included. Arrange specialist installation work separately.

- 01

Specify disassembly, transport and reassembly for each piece. This makes the requested work clear.
- 02
Share the details
Provide information about construction and fixings. Have the feasible work confirmed in advance.
- 03
Keep parts together
Agree how parts and instructions will stay identifiable for each item. Leave space at the destination for the agreed assembly work.
Furniture assembly questions
Can every wardrobe be reassembled?
That depends on its construction and condition. Share photos and model details; reassembly cannot be promised for every piece.
Can I dismantle furniture and request help rebuilding it?
You can request this. Explain what has already been dismantled and whether the parts and instructions are complete.
Will furniture also be fixed to the wall?
Do not assume this is included. Mention the requirement beforehand so the task, wall surface and any further assistance can be assessed separately.
Which furniture needs attention?
Include photos and a list of the work you want done in your moving request.
