A driveway may serve several different carrying routes. Check the prepared bed, boxes and garden furniture from their actual rooms or outbuildings, then compare the largest section with the entire receiving unit route.

Establish prepared and assembled furniture dimensions
Agree which bed sections detach and what must remain assembled, naming the person completing preparation. Measure the largest travelling section including projections, keep fixings labelled and list delicate or non-stackable pieces separately.
Use the furniture preparation checklist and raise unusual weight or specialist assessment needs before choosing the booking setup.
Check each room, garage and shed approach
The Old Church Lane appraisal records open front gardens, verges and changes of level in its defined area. At your home, measure the actual gate, path, steps and route between each starting location and the usable vehicle position.
For a flat, obtain the current shared entrance and room route. For garage or shed goods, confirm the separate opening contact and any different passage. Current permission and clearance come from the property and controller.
Repeat the check through the actual storage entrance
Ask your separately arranged operator for the permitted vehicle entrance and handling route into the unit. Compare prepared sections with doors, turns and any relevant permitted lift opening and cabin.
Give the complete carry at both ends and choose assistance throughout. With customer loading and unloading, arrange sufficient people for all routes. The property-access checklist helps organise conditional private admission or appointment questions.
The bed and garden chairs leave by different gates
Illustrative example: a Stanmore customer measures prepared bed sections through the house while garden chairs leave a shed by another gate. Both routes join the confirmed vehicle position.
The operator checks the largest section against the unit route. The customer records the complete collection and receiving carries, not only the driveway width.
Keep a furniture-and-outbuilding route sheet
- Prepared dimensions, assembled pieces and responsibility.
- Every starting location, gate and opening contact.
- Paths, level changes, doors and full vehicle carries.
- Storage entrance, unit doors and permitted lift where relevant.
- Selected help and unresolved handling questions.
Attach it to the location-by-location quote and home-and-facility access record, with London access guidance.
Common questions
Does driveway width describe the furniture route?
Include the full route from every room or outbuilding, with gates, steps, turns and the actual vehicle standing position.
Should I check the storage unit door only?
Compare the prepared section with the full route from the vehicle entrance through doors, turns and any permitted lift into the unit.
