If you have spent a weekend on Deansgate looking at sofas, you know the drill. Limited stock on the floor, prices that depend on the day, and lead times that drift from "six to eight weeks" to whenever the boat docks. That works fine for some shoppers. It does not work if you need a sofa now.
Alec's is different. We are an independent clearance warehouse in Bolton, 12 miles from Manchester city centre. Most North Manchester suburbs are closer to us than to a city centre showroom. We hold over 500 sofas in stock at any one time, all priced for value, all ready to leave the warehouse the same day you choose them. New stock lands every week from cancelled orders, ex-display showroom models, and surplus lines from the same UK manufacturers who supply John Lewis, DFS, SCS and Sofology.
What you see is what is here. What you pay is what is on the ticket. If you can pop in this week, we can have your sofa in your living room by the weekend.

Yes, on most stock items if you book early in the day. Pick a sofa from the floor before midday and we will plan a Manchester run for the afternoon or early evening where we can. If we cannot get it out same-day, the next available slot is usually within 48 hours.
All M-postcodes from M1 through to M50, and most of the surrounding Greater Manchester boroughs including Salford, Trafford, Tameside, Bury, Bolton, Rochdale, Oldham and Wigan. If you are further afield, send us your postcode and we will confirm.
Yes, including the high-rises in Castlefield, Ancoats and Salford Quays. Tell us the floor, whether there is a working lift, and any tight stairwells or landing turns. Our delivery teams know the city centre and we will plan parking around restrictions.
Yes. Compact two seaters, slim arm designs, sectional corners that come apart for tight stairwells, and chaise sofas all feature regularly in our stock. A lot of our Manchester customers live in terraced houses or flats with awkward access. Bring your room dimensions and the narrowest doorway measurement and we will steer you towards what fits.
Three honest differences. We hold the sofa in stock so you can take it the same day rather than waiting six to twelve weeks. We do not run a "was/now" pricing model with high tickets discounted to make the deal look bigger. We do not employ commission salespeople, so you get to look around in peace. Where the chains have us beat is on showroom polish and finance options, so it depends what matters to you.
Yes, for a short period in most cases. Stock moves fast though, especially the popular pieces. Best advice is to send the measurements over the same day so we can confirm fit and lock it in.
Leather wipes clean, handles spills well, and tends to outlast fabric in heavy-use households. Fabric feels softer, comes in more textures and colours, and works better if you want a cosy lounge feel. If you have shedding pets, leather is easier. If you have toddlers and frequent muddy paws, leather is also easier. Comfort still decides it most of the time, so come and sit on both.
Yes, for a small charge that covers the disposal cost at the local refuse centre. Mention it when booking the delivery slot so we can plan the van capacity properly.
The narrowest doorway, the tightest hallway turn, and any stair head clearance if it is going upstairs. A quick photo of the access route helps too. Many of our sofas split into sections or have removable feet to get through tight spaces, so we usually find a way.
Yes. Clearance beds and pocket spring mattresses from Silentnight, Sealy, Sweet Dreams and others, all delivered with the sofa or on a separate run. Up to 70% below high street RRP.
Yes. Every sofa supplied meets UK domestic fire safety regulations and carries the required permanent labelling. Happy to show you the labels in person if you want to check before buying.
Yes. Most customers pay by card on delivery or in the warehouse before we load up. We keep payment simple and clear. No finance gimmicks, no credit applications, no fuss.
