Identify the desk construction
Distinguish a simple table-style desk from a large pedestal desk, glass workstation or powered sit-stand model. List attached drawers and cable trays. If the top is removable, confirm who will detach it and keep the fixings. Powered furniture should be prepared according to its instructions; transport does not include electrical repair.
A Cheltenham collection with a clear carrying route
For a furniture collection from a Cheltenham flat or converted house, identify the actual entrance rather than relying on the street-facing frontage. A basement stair, shared hallway or turn behind a door can change the carrying plan. Ask the seller for photographs and measurements before committing to a collection slot.
Record the floor at both properties, the longest carry from a permitted stopping place, and who will be present to release and receive the item.
Plan the room as well as the journey
Empty drawers, remove loose electronics and label separate accessories. Measure narrow landings and the final room doorway before assuming the desktop will fit. Say whether a chair, monitor stand or shelving should travel too. Those items need to be on the inventory rather than added to the van on the day.
Include in your desk enquiry
- The largest prepared component and any known weight.
- Whether dismantling or assembly is requested.
- Collection times, both postcodes and the floor at each property.
Your Cheltenham enquiry checklist
- For desk collection, have these details ready: desktop and frame dimensions; drawers or powered components; destination room access.
- 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.
