Follow the route from the room to the road
Include long communal corridors, paths through gardens, gates and external steps. Estimate the distance and describe uneven surfaces or steep sections. If the load must cross a shared courtyard, confirm permission and access times. The route should be based on a suitable loading location rather than a hoped-for space.
Plan long carrying distances at your Chedworth address
At a Chedworth home, measure the route from each large item to the intended loading position. Record changes of level, steps and tight turns separately; the road distance alone does not show the carrying work.
Match the inventory to the carrying and preparation work. Tell us which items need help, whether packing or dismantling is requested, and who will provide access.
- For long carrying distances, prepare: approximate carrying distance; surface and steps on the route; suitable loading location.
- A Chedworth postcode or landmark is not enough to define the final approach. Record the property entrance, gradient, steps, surface and place where the recipient will meet the vehicle.
Relate access to the actual load
Many boxes may require repeated carrying trips, while one large item may need additional handling. Describe heavy or fragile pieces and whether assistance is needed throughout. Trolleys are not suitable for every surface or item, so do not assume equipment will eliminate carrying work. Access changes should be reported before the agreed day.
Include these observations
- Where the vehicle can reasonably load and how far away it is.
- Any gates, slopes, steps or controlled doors.
- Whether the route is shared with residents or the public.
