Recording stair turns for a moving survey

The width of a straight staircase does not prove a large item can turn a corner. Record landings and overhead clearance as well.

Recording stair turns for a moving survey

Before you start

Photograph every turn in order from the entrance to the apartment. Note railings, low ceilings and small landings.

Practical steps

  • Measure the usable space at narrow points.
  • Show non-dismantlable furniture alongside the relevant access information.
  • Assess alternative equipment or routes before loading day.

Checks on arrival

Keep shared areas clear for delivery. Work with the team using the agreed handling method instead of trying to force large items around a turn.

What to include in your quote request

Prepare both addresses, access measurements and photographs for your enquiry. Identify uncertain access conditions explicitly. Confirm equipment, building coordination and delivery responsibilities in the written scope so the plan can be followed in practice.
