Record the rigid dimensions
Measure the fixed frame, including protruding arms, legs or handles that will remain attached. If parts are removable, record both assembled dimensions and the largest prepared section. State the units clearly. A product name or seat count is not a reliable size description, particularly for second-hand purchases.
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.
Check both ends of the journey
Measure clear door openings, corridor turns, stairs and lift cabins. Include height where an item must turn. The receiving home can be harder to enter than the seller’s property is to leave. Measurements support an assessment; they do not guarantee a fit where the route or construction remains uncertain.
Send a useful measurement note
- Item name followed by width × depth × height and units.
- Parts that will be removed and who prepares them.
- The tightest openings or turns at collection and delivery.
Your Cheltenham enquiry checklist
- For furniture measuring guide, have these details ready: width, depth and height; removable versus fixed parts; narrowest route measurements.
- 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.
