Sofa lifting through window - help needed

Recommended Posts

Hi,

Please can anyone recommend a company/business/anyone with the capabilities, who has the know how and equipment to lift a sofa through a first floor window. Having recently moved into a new flat, my new sofa has been delivered but will not fit through the door, so needs to be lifted into living room through the window.


Urgent and desperate for help... any advice would be very welcome


Thank you

Camilla

I have done this before. You need a ladder, one long length of rope and a blanket/cover. Place the ladder to cill level at first floor. Two people first floor holding each end of the rope, third person at ground floor. Slacken the rope from first floor window - wrap arounnd back of sofa at ground level - use cover to stop rope marks on sofa - lean sofa up on end against ladder then gently and slowly pull the sofa up the ladder at an angle - the person on ground floor simply keeps it straight. Depending on window size a fourth person maybe required to hold the sofa prior to sliding it through the window. It is a quick job but takes a few hands and concentration.

    • To be fair, a pot of tea for one in a department store is a small pot, and you only get one cup or mug!
    • I know - we have been here lots of times since it first opened,  which is why we were disappointed that it was closed at a time it was supposed to be open, but with no notice to say why! I guess we will just  have to ask the reason at our next visit, but I'm not sure we will risk Saturday lunchtime again unless we find the closure  was an unavoidable one off ....
    • Nope. I don’t have this wrong. I’ve tried to put my point across respectfully, without resorting to personal, angry insults. And all my colleagues agree that the BBC got this right in its condemnation.    All you see is confirmation bias.    If you don’t realise that, then you’re part of the problem.    
    • We have always gone during the week at lunch time - great place and good value. Husband has been several times on his own and owner knows his first name. I could not go one time for some reason and she sent him home with some spring rolls (free)
