Tape Measure 19mm x 5m

The One Thing Most People Forget to Buy

Most people already have a marker pen or a roll of tape somewhere in the house. A tape measure is the one that catches people out. This one has a 19mm blade that extends to 5 metres, a locking mechanism so it holds its reading, and a rubberised grip you can hold one handed while you’re crouched down by a sofa or a door frame.

Why Bother Measuring Before Moving Day

It’s easy to assume a sofa or a wardrobe will fit through a door because it fit through the last one. Measure the doorways, the hallway width and any awkward stair turns before moving day rather than on the day itself, and you’ll know in advance whether something needs to come apart first or go out through a window. It takes five minutes, and it saves you finding out with a wardrobe wedged in a stairwell and a van waiting outside.

Boxes are the same. If you’re working out how many will fit in a room or in the back of a car, a quick measure against our box sizes tells you before you start packing rather than halfway through.

If You’re Storing as Well as Moving

If some of what you’re measuring up is heading into storage rather than straight to a new address, that’s what we do too. We collect it, look after it, and bring it back when you want it. Get an instant quote to see what that would cost alongside your move.

FAQ

Do I really need a tape measure for a house move?

It’s an easy one to skip, but it’s the quickest way to check a sofa, wardrobe or bed frame will actually get through a doorway or round a stair turn. Five minutes with a tape measure beats finding out with the item stuck halfway through a door.

Is 5 metres enough for most furniture and doorways?

Yes. For doorways, hallways, furniture and boxes, 5 metres covers almost everything you’ll need to measure at home. It’s a household tape measure rather than a site one, so it’s built for exactly this sort of job.
