Door widths and lift cars: fitting a sofa into a Stockport home

A three-seater from a Peel Centre store meets two kinds of obstacle in Stockport. In an Edgeley or Heaton Norris terrace the doorway and hall are narrow, so the sofa goes in on its end and is turned inside, and a corner unit comes in its sections. Moscow Road East and Stockholm Road are setts, so the van stops where there is space and the sofa is carried along the pavement in a protective cover.

In a high-rise flat at Lancashire Hill or Brinnington the question is the lift. A sofa that will not stand upright in the car has to be carried up the stairwell, which takes much longer and is counted at the quote. Measure the lift car and the flat door before you order. Heaton Moor houses have a longer walk from the gate, set back behind their front gardens.

Measure twice: a Stockport sofa checklist

• Measure the front door, any inner door and, in a flat, the lift car against the sofa's depth and height
• Ask the store whether the back or feet come off, as that can decide whether it fits
• Move the old sofa out of the way, as the van only brings the new one
• If the old sofa is going to a charity, check its fire safety label first, as Stockport Homes asks for one on donated sofas
• Tell us the floor and whether the lift works in a tower block
