A Kidsgrove household preparing for a move into a different property should check furniture in its assembled form. Measure wardrobes, bed frames and dining tables, then compare them with the narrowest door and stair turn at delivery. Note whether pieces were built inside their current room.
Ask about dismantling and reassembly while the quotation is being prepared. Keep fittings in labelled bags and retain assembly instructions where available. If you plan to do the work yourself, make clear which items will be ready before the crew arrives so the agreed time is used for the right tasks.
Check whether dismantled pieces can be transported and reassembled as expected, particularly with older furniture or items that have already been moved several times. Photograph existing condition and flag loose joints, missing fittings or modifications during the survey. Do not assume that taking an item apart is always the right answer to a restricted doorway.
Where dismantling is agreed, decide who keeps the fixings and how they will be identified on arrival. Avoid putting several bags of similar screws together without labels. Leave the receiving room clear enough for the agreed assembly work and keep the instructions available. If you are completing preparation yourself at the Kidsgrove property, allow time to stop and ask for advice if the item proves different from what was expected rather than leaving an unfinished task for moving morning.
