Preparing Your Pool Table for Removal
You do not need to dismantle anything — that is our work, and doing it without the right method is how tables get damaged. What helps is having the room, the route and the paperwork ready so the crew can get straight on with it.
Here is what makes the biggest difference on the day.

Enter two postcodes and answer three quick questions.
Before the day
- Remove balls, cues, racks, triangles, chalk and scoreboards, and take down light fittings above the table
- Find the assembly instructions and any spare bolts, fixings or cloth, and keep them together
- Confirm where the table is going in the destination room, and that the room is ready
- Reserve parking or arrange a permit if the street is restricted, and tell us the distance from the door
- Let us know about pets, small children, wet paint or anything that affects working space
On the day
- Clear the carry route: rugs, low furniture, boxes on the stairs, bikes in the hall
- Keep the route free of obstructions while the crew is working
- Be available to confirm the final position of the table before it is levelled
- Point out anything already damaged so it is recorded before we start
What not to do
Please do not drag or tilt the table to test whether it will fit, and do not start unbolting slates in advance. A slate that has been moved without support, or fixings that are already in an unlabelled pile, make the job slower and riskier rather than easier.
If you have already partially dismantled a table, that is fine — just tell us exactly what has been removed and how it is stored.
How we quote
The calculator above gives you an instant estimate from the postcodes, the table size, the service you need and the access at each end. Your fixed price is confirmed once we have seen the table construction, photographs and access.
Frequently asked questions
Should I take the cloth off?
No. Leave the cloth on the bed — we protect it during the move. Cloth work is a fitter's job.
Do I need to empty a coin mechanism?
Yes, empty and secure any cash box before collection.
What if I have lost the fixings?
Tell us in advance. Replacements are often available, but a rebuild without the right bolts is not something to discover on the day.
How much space do you need at the destination?
Enough to lay out the frame and rails and stand the slates safely while the table is rebuilt. Clearing the room fully is the simplest way to give us that.
