Do not judge the job by mileage alone
Time can be spent carrying furniture down stairs, walking boxes to a loading point and placing items in the new home. List the complete load and explain both properties. A short route does not establish the vehicle size or number of trips; those need to match the inventory and available access.
Plan local home moves 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 local home moves, prepare: full postcodes at both ends; complete load and access; keys and receiving arrangements.
- 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.
Coordinate the two doorways
Make sure collection access and new-home access overlap with the agreed plan. If your move depends on a completion or tenancy handover, explain that uncertainty. Keep personal essentials separate even when the destination is nearby. Do not add a second trip on the assumption it is included because the homes are close.
Prepare your local move request
- Give both full addresses or postcodes rather than “just around the corner”.
- Explain proposed loading positions and any shared drives.
- Confirm whether everything moves together or selected items travel separately.
