The one 8,475 Posted June 25, 2013 Report Share Posted June 25, 2013 I think someone should check out the laws on old furniture. When I was clearing my mother's house, she had 2 fairly nice 3 piece suites and no house clearance place would touch them as they didn't have the relevant fire regulation lables on. Ended up dumping them. Aye thats what im going to do now as council wanted £25 to pick up two chairs Quote Link to post Share on other sites

NEWKID 27,143 Posted June 25, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 25, 2013 (edited) Cheers lads and lasses The thing I can't understand is if you buy an antique sofa surely that won't come with fire regulations etc?
