Identify where the goods leave and how they reach the lawful van position. Include any slope, steps and driveway constraints at the actual addresses before selecting space, help and time.

Confirm the complete goods and release point
Ask the seller for the exact collection address, goods entrance, reference and releasing contact. List every item and accompanying part, obtaining dimensions in the condition in which the furniture will travel.
For a table, confirm whether the legs remain attached and count chairs and packed accessories alongside it. Agree any preparation before collection so vehicle space is chosen for the complete travelling load.
Describe the actual centre-to-vehicle carry
Bromley’s 2025 town-centre appraisal describes the High Street and Market Square retail core and the elevated High Street with descending western streets. Check the actual goods route for slope or steps and describe them in the carrying brief.
The seller should confirm where the goods are released and which vehicle position serves that entrance. For another Bromley address, use its own conditions rather than transferring the town-centre description.
Use the receiving home’s confirmed approach
If a driveway is proposed, check permission, usable opening and space for the actual vehicle, including other cars that will be present. If the street is planned instead, record the lawful position and remaining distance, gate and steps.
Measure the largest piece through the receiving hall and turns with the property-route guide. Select carrying help for both routes and request optional preparation separately. How pricing works explains the setup and separate charges.
A table collection includes the receiving approach
Illustrative example: a customer collects a table and chairs from Bromley town-centre premises. The seller confirms the goods entrance and prepared dimensions; the recipient checks the hallway and whether the agreed driveway can be used.
The customer records the actual collection carry and receiving steps before requesting the setup. The London quote guide provides the wider preparation method.

Common questions
Should a table be measured before or after preparation?
Give its actual travelling dimensions and prepared condition, counting every detached section and accompanying part.
Does the town-centre description cover another address in the borough?
Check that property’s own release entrance, lawful stop and approach. The centre’s topography is context for the named area.
