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.
Prepare for the route through your Cheltenham property
Pack for the carrying route as well as the journey. If your Cheltenham address involves shared stairs, a basement entrance or several doors between the room and the vehicle, keep packages manageable and identify fragile pieces clearly. Leave shared routes clear and set aside anything travelling separately.
Tell us which preparation you will complete and which work you want priced. Use photographs of the actual item and doorway where helpful; avoid including private paperwork in an image.
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 Cheltenham 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. GL50 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.
