Check communal rooms as well as your bedroom
Identify your kitchen equipment, furniture, books and stored boxes. Agree with housemates which shared items are moving before collection day. Label your boxes with a name and destination room. Keep another resident’s similar-looking items separate so the collection does not depend on guessing which is yours.
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 the people who control access
Confirm who will open each property and where the load can be gathered without blocking corridors. Explain whether housemates are moving at the same time, because shared loading space may be limited. If several residents want transport, list each person’s load and destination before the quote is assessed.
A clear shared-house request includes
- Only the furniture and boxes authorised to leave.
- Floor levels, stair turns and common entrances.
- Any distinct collection or delivery stops for different residents.
Your Cheltenham enquiry checklist
- For shared-house moves, have these details ready: named personal inventory; agreed shared-item ownership; access contact for each home.
- 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.
