Which measurements matter for large furniture?
Record the piece's dimensions and the narrowest doorways, stair turns, corridors and lift openings at both addresses. Include the carry path and loading position so HF can review the access.
Should I dismantle furniture before moving day?
Discuss each piece with HF first and agree who will do the work. If dismantling is agreed, label the parts and keep fasteners together for reassembly; do not assume it is included without confirming the scope.
