Moving a Pool or Snooker Table in Watford

Whether a pool table is an easy move or a hard one depends on the bed. A table with an MDF bed is a large but ordinary piece of furniture. A slate bed table can weigh three hundred kilos or more, and has to be taken apart: legs, cushions, cloth and slate, and put back together level at the other end.

Typical ranges, not manufacturer figures. Measure yours if it is going to be close, and check it against the door and stair measurements.

Will it fit?

Will a pool table fit through a door?

Not assembled. Dismantled, the slate goes through on its edge and the frame and legs go through separately.

Can a slate table go upstairs?

Yes, in pieces, but each slate section can weigh 40 to 100kg or more, so it is a crewed job with care on every step.

How we move it

  1. Take off the pockets, cushions and cloth, carefully
  2. Remove and wrap the slate sections
  3. Move the frame, legs and slate separately
  4. Reassemble and level it with a spirit level

Before we arrive

  • Tell us the table size and whether the bed is slate or MDF
  • Clear the room around the table
  • Let us know if the cloth is old or damaged, as it may not refit well

Re-clothing and fine levelling

We dismantle, move, reassemble and level the table. If the cloth is worn and needs replacing, or you want the slate joins re-filled for competition-standard play, that is work for a table fitter, and it is best booked for after the move.

Moving a pool table: questions

How do I know if my table is slate?+

Knock on the bed through the cloth. Slate sounds solid and dead. MDF sounds hollow. Slate tables are also much heavier, usually well over 100kg.

Will you level the table afterwards?+

Yes, with a spirit level as part of the reassembly. Re-clothing or re-filling the slate joins is a job for a table fitter.
