Measure the largest item in its actual travelling form and trace every part of the carry. Include a separate storage route where goods are collected from it.

Confirm the present conversion layout
Lewisham’s 2005 appraisal records both self-contained conversions and some houses returned to single-house use. That historic context makes the current occupier’s entrance and floor information essential to your moving plan.
Identify whether the actual route uses the main hall, a separate door or an outside stair. Describe the usable path to the lawful vehicle position, including relevant gates and passages.
Measure the largest travelling piece through every turn
Check the desk, bed frame or wardrobe against the narrowest usable doorway and stair turn at collection. Include rails and fixed obstructions in the usable space, measuring the furniture in the form it will travel.
Agree who prepares it before collection and label all fixings. Count every resulting section. The furniture and stair-access guide develops the method; optional preparation is a separate selection from loading assistance.
Add stored goods and the receiving route
Trace the path from any included shared store independently, with its opening contact and obstacles. A short route from the flat does not describe work from another doorway.
Check the largest travelling pieces through the destination entrance to the receiving room. Record stair storeys under the access terms, with outside levels and intermediate landings separate. Choose help for both complete carries.
The desk turn and outside stair are both recorded
Illustrative example: a customer moving a Brockley bedroom confirms the current flat entrance has outside steps before the internal stair. They measure the desk through its tightest turn and prepare the bed frame in agreed sections.
The shared-store boxes and their separate route join the inventory. The receiving contact checks the prepared pieces through the destination doorway before the full carrying brief is used.
Keep a complete item-and-route fit record
- Present flat entrance and outside/internal levels.
- Largest travelling dimensions and usable turns.
- Preparation, sections and labelled fixings.
- Separate store carry and opening contact.
- Independent receiving route and selected help.
The loading guide helps you check lawful positioning; quote preparation combines the full inventory and work.
Common questions
Should outside entrance steps be recorded separately from internal stairs?
Describe both clearly, with actual stair storeys recorded under the access terms and intermediate landings kept distinct.
Does the flat’s route cover goods from a shared store?
Trace the store’s own doorway and complete carry independently, including who opens it and any obstacles.
