STRATFORD IN PRACTICE
Confirm the delivery is complete before coordinating the building visit
New furniture, planned around the building.
For a Stratford apartment, tell us about delivery access and any booking arrangements you have with the building. The handyman visit should be based on the products present, not a delivery that is still uncertain.
Building access arrangements cannot compensate for a wardrobe package still in transit. Check each product’s package count and visible condition before planning an appointment around several large items.
The delivery route and assembly space need separate consideration. A cabinet arriving as compact panels may need much more room to build and raise inside its final room.

BUILD A REALISTIC LIST
Choose the complete deliveries ready to build
Select confirmed deliveries and state any pending packages. The list is not an appointment reservation or confirmation that building access has been arranged.
DIY or call a handyman?
| Situation | A practical next step |
|---|---|
| Familiar task | Measure accessible lift and doorway openings without testing an unsafe carry. |
| Multiple or awkward jobs | Avoid building a unit where the completed shape cannot leave the space. |
| Uncertain mounting | Wall attachment must follow the product’s requirements at the final location. |
| Regulated or specialist work | Do not alter a specialist door or fixed service merely to move furniture through. |

QUICK ANSWERS
Before coordinating lifts around a delivery
What affects price?
Product quantities, build requirements and access form the scope.
Handyman suitability?
Assembly and appropriate minor fittings can be reviewed from specifications.
Several new items?
Confirm completeness and a practical shared work area.
Components supplied?
Agree who supplies materials. Keep the manufacturer’s fittings with the correct product.
How long?
The actual delivered list and assembly constraints guide timing.
Furniture assembly?
Furniture assembly is available. Show both the build floor and final position.
Wall fixing?
Anchoring and mounting need suitable support, not just permission.
Rental or managed flat?
Confirm owner consent and building arrangements independently.

THE DETAILS OF YOUR VISIT
Stratford: planning the handyman appointment
Can I rely on the delivery confirmation email?
Verify that all relevant packages are physically present and report visible damage before arranging dependent assembly.
Does booking the lift book the handyman?
No. Confirm the service appointment separately from your building arrangements.
Can a wardrobe be built wherever the boxes fit?
The product’s assembly method and working clearance need review, not just its packaged dimensions.
What if one of several products is incomplete?
Identify that item so the feasible scope can be considered without assuming every task must proceed together.
Should packaging be opened before the visit?
Check completeness while keeping panels, fittings and instructions grouped by model.
Will the finished unit fit back in the lift?
Do not assume it. Plan assembly around the final destination and any later handling separately.
Can tall furniture be left unanchored?
Follow manufacturer requirements and resolve suitable fixing and permission before relying on the assembly plan.
Are building charges or parking automatically included?
Describe known arrangements and confirm how relevant access costs affect the quotation.
What if delivery or access arrangements change?
Contact Alesta to review the agreed plan rather than assuming the appointment remains workable.
TURN THE LIST INTO A PLAN
Send the onsite product and access checklist
Provide an onsite product checklist, the final layout and the building access details as three separate parts of the enquiry.
