Record the rigid dimensions
Measure the fixed frame, including protruding arms, legs or handles that will remain attached. If parts are removable, record both assembled dimensions and the largest prepared section. State the units clearly. A product name or seat count is not a reliable size description, particularly for second-hand purchases.
Plan furniture measuring guide at your Blockley address
Protect vulnerable corners and identify box weights before the load leaves a Blockley property. Separate heavy contents into manageable packages where suitable, and tell the team about steps or slopes before handling is agreed.
Match the inventory to the actual carrying and preparation work. Tell us which items need help, whether you want packing or dismantling, and who will provide access at each property.
- For furniture measuring guide, prepare: width, depth and height; removable versus fixed parts; narrowest route measurements.
- The street address does not describe the carrying route on a sloping site. Include the rise or fall from the agreed loading position to the doorway and any steps or tight turns.
Check both ends of the journey
Measure clear door openings, corridor turns, stairs and lift cabins. Include height where an item must turn. The receiving home can be harder to enter than the seller’s property is to leave. Measurements support an assessment; they do not guarantee a fit where the route or construction remains uncertain.
Send a useful measurement note
- Item name followed by width × depth × height and units.
