Identify the type of bed
A simple bolt-together frame differs from an ottoman, bunk bed or powered base. Explain mechanisms, attached storage and existing damage. Find assembly instructions if available. Do not assume every frame can be taken apart safely or will tolerate another assembly; suitability needs review before work is agreed.
Plan bed dismantling planning around your Aldridge access
For an Aldridge move, specify the full WS9 address, driveway dimensions and any shared access before estimating the carrying work. If loading depends on restricted road space, establish the lawful arrangement early and allow for a longer carry if permission is unavailable. Keep entrances and pavements clear while boxes and furniture are moved.
Prepare the load for the real carrying route: protect exposed corners, keep boxes manageable and label their destination rooms. Reserve essential documents and first-night items for personal access.
- Agree a lawful Aldridge loading location and a fallback carrying or handover point if restricted road space cannot be used.
- For bed dismantling planning, prepare: bed type and instructions; largest prepared components; labelled fittings and parts.
Plan what happens to each component
Keep slats, legs and fixings identified for the correct bed. Label similar frames separately and protect the mattress independently. Agree who dismantles before collection and who reassembles at delivery. If work is requested on the moving day, include its timing and cost in the booking discussion.
Your preparation request should state
- The frame or base type and any lifting or powered mechanism.
- Whether the bed will be assembled when the team arrives.
- Which room it should finish in and whether reassembly is requested.
Your Aldridge enquiry checklist
- For bed dismantling planning, have these details ready: bed type and instructions; largest prepared components; labelled fittings and parts.
- Give both full postcodes and identify the exact entrance and receiving point. WS9 is a location reference, not the whole service area.
- Explain any unresolved permission, timing or handling question before accepting a quote.
- Check the quote’s supplier, price, inclusions and booking terms before confirming.
