Buying into Burnley, or collecting from a Burnley terrace

If you are the buyer in Burnley, tell us how the item gets into your home: the width of the front door, the stair turn, and whether a sofa will need its feet off. We collect from the seller, wrap and strap it, and carry it into the room. Where the item is designed to come apart, we can take it apart to get it in.

If the seller is in Burnley and you are not, the item is often in a terraced house parked both sides, with no rear access. Ask the seller to have it downstairs and ready, and to be in at the agreed time. We check the item against the listing photos on the doorstep and ring you before any money changes hands if something looks wrong.

Agreeing a Burnley collection with the seller

Pay the seller yourself, in advance or once the item has been checked at collection
Share the seller's number so we can ring when we are close
Ask for dimensions and a photo of where the item is sitting
A Rose Grove or Gannow seller should have it just inside the front door, as the back alleys there are no use to the van
Avoid Turf Moor match days for a collection near Brunshaw or Burnley Wood
We collect items for new owners only; we do not collect old furniture for removal
