Wardrobes

Did you know ?
Wardrobes

  • When we move wardrobes we strap the doors shut to prevent the opening and possible getting damaged
  • As you know many wardrobes start live as a flat pack and go into bedrooms still in the box so often the only time they leave the room is when your moving and the likes they on occasion may not fit we do if required take them apart in this situation ( as limited a dismantling as possible eg only say removing the feet ) (part of the service) (and of course put them back together )  
  • We avoid this where possible as on occasions they don't go back together perfectly
