How to measure access before buying an oven or fridge
Avoid an expensive delivery-day surprise with a simple access survey.
Measure the equipment at its widest, deepest and highest points, including handles and removable projections. Then measure every doorway, corridor turn, step, lift and final working position.
Allow clearance for a pallet truck or lifting method and confirm whether the item can be safely tilted. Heavy refrigeration and cooking equipment may need specialist handling.
Share the access notes with the seller or delivery contractor before agreeing a collection or delivery date.
