A sofa will not fit on the stairs: what to prepare

Measure the sofa, window or balcony door and the actual clear opening. Mention removable parts without assuming that tilting the item will solve the problem.

A lift extended to a balcony

Measure before requesting a lift

Measure the sofa, window or balcony door and the actual clear opening. Mention removable parts without assuming that tilting the item will solve the problem.

Describe the outside route

A wide photograph shows the frontage, balcony and potential setup space. Include the floor and visible obstacles. A lift does not enlarge a narrow opening; feasibility needs confirmation.

A single item is still a job

Specify one sofa, the date and address. Ask about included time, travel and people needed at both ends. Use the quote then confirm the appointment.

Details to prepare

Municipality and postcode
Floor and intended opening
Preferred date and duration
Items to move up or down
Passage, obstacles and parking

Useful questions

What does the « from €56 » price mean?

It is a starting price, not an amount that applies to every job. Address, floor, duration and equipment can change the quote. The inclusions of that starting price are not established here. Check the calculator or ask LOCA - LIFT to confirm duration, VAT, travel charges and the conditions that apply before treating it as your final amount.

How do I know what my quote includes?

Compare offers for the same address, floor and duration. Have equipment, operator, travel charges, VAT, possible supplements and loading help clarified. The calculator provides the details of your request. For unusual access or an additional service, ask LOCA - LIFT for written confirmation so that the scope of work and the amount are understood before the appointment.
