Identify the pieces that need preparation
List the furniture make or model if known, dimensions and current condition. Explain whether it was assembled in the room and whether you have instructions or photographs from assembly.
Measure the narrowest doors and stair turns on the route at both homes. Some furniture can travel assembled; other pieces may need partial dismantling. Do not assume every item can be safely taken apart.
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.
Agree dismantling and reassembly separately
Say which items need taking down at collection and which need rebuilding at delivery. Include fragile panels, glass doors, built-in fixings or previous damage so the work can be assessed properly.
Fitted furniture, structural fixings, electrical work and specialist installations are not assumed to be included. Check responsibilities explicitly before agreeing the move.
Keep fittings and access organised
If you dismantle items yourself, label fittings and keep them with the correct piece. Secure doors and drawers appropriately and point out components that need particular handling.
For a Cheltenham property with limited space, explain where the work can happen without blocking the carrying route. Confirm the required time, tools, crew and additional cost before booking.
Your Cheltenham enquiry checklist
- For dismantling & reassembly, have these details ready: furniture type and size; access measurements; reassembly requirements.
- 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.
