Trace each selected piece from its current room to the vehicle and on to the receiving room. Confirm a usable permitted route and preparation before choosing carrying assistance.

Measure the present lower-ground or garden entrance
The Chelsea Park/Carlyle appraisal records lightwells, lower-ground doors and front-garden approaches within that area. Ask the occupier which entrance actually serves your item today rather than applying those features to every Chelsea home.
Measure the usable outside stair, landing turn and gate, including fixed railings or obstructions. Continue through the internal room exit and describe the complete carry to the lawful loading point.
Check furniture independently of the box route
For a permitted lift, measure the usable door and cabin, then corridor turns and the room entrance. If boxes fit but the cabinet does not, establish an actual permitted alternative or preparation with the responsible contacts before relying on the setup.
Give the route for each bulky piece, including any stairs and floors. Record internal stair storeys under the access terms, with outside levels and intermediate landings distinct.
Confirm preparation and the receiving route
Measure furniture in its agreed travelling form, including sections, packaging and accompanying parts. Label fixings and agree any preparation before collection through the furniture and basement-access guide.
Ask the recipient to check the largest piece through to its intended room. Confirm any manager appointment and opening contact with the building checklist. Choose help using the most demanding stage at both addresses.
The cabinet and boxes have separately checked routes
Illustrative example: a customer selects a cabinet, desk and boxes from a Chelsea home. The occupier checks the lower-ground exit and the cabinet’s prepared dimensions, identifying its permitted route separately from the boxes.
The recipient checks every bulky piece through the delivery turn. The complete route, preparation and opening instructions enter the handling brief before assistance is selected.
Keep a selected-piece route record
- Item, current room and actual travelling dimensions.
- Outside steps, landing turns and garden gates.
- Usable lift route or assessed permitted alternative.
- Prepared parts and independent receiving fit.
- Both full carries, opening contacts and selected help.
Use the loading guide for vehicle positioning and quote preparation for the complete work.
Common questions
Does a lift fitting the boxes establish the cabinet’s route?
Measure the actual cabinet through every usable lift opening and turn, and confirm permitted preparation or an alternative route where needed.
Which outside details matter at a lower-ground entrance?
Describe the actual stair, landing turn, gate, usable openings and full path to the lawful vehicle position, alongside the internal route.
