Count belongings outside the bedroom
Include your kitchen equipment, hallway storage and anything in a shared cupboard. Mark landlord or housemate property as staying. If the new room is furnished, decide which of your larger pieces will actually move. An accurate selected inventory avoids planning transport for items that have no destination.
Plan a Cheltenham room or student move
For a Cheltenham room move, separate what belongs to you from furniture supplied with the room. Ask the accommodation contact about key collection, move-in appointments and where a vehicle can stop. Tell us whether boxes will be carried to a room or handed over at an entrance.
If the tenancy ends before the next room is available, agree a separate storage arrangement before setting transport dates. Transport does not by itself reserve storage or access to accommodation.
Coordinate access with both households
Ask when shared entrances and stairs can be used, and make sure someone can provide keys at each end. Explain any lift booking or restricted loading space. Keep boxes labelled with your name and the destination room so they remain separate from other residents’ belongings. Request carrying help explicitly.
Before you send the room-move enquiry
- Count bags and boxes as well as furniture.
- Give the floor level and any narrow turns at both addresses.
- Identify furniture that will need dismantling before it can leave.
Your Cheltenham enquiry checklist
- For room moves, have these details ready: your room inventory; furniture staying behind; shared entrance and floor details.
- 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.
