Use your own room-to-van route to select assistance. Include the full inventory, prepared furniture and receiving access rather than borrowing another nearby property’s carrying description.

List the full load in its travelling form
Include furniture, packed boxes and belongings from stores or shared spaces that travel. Give dimensions for the largest pieces and count all prepared sections and labelled fixings.
For a seller collection, get the actual release address and ready goods. Include any extra stop and its load from the outset so the whole journey is described.
Record the levels on the actual carry
Croydon’s 2014 Triangle appraisal places Westow Hill, Westow Street and Church Road around the Upper Norwood ridge, with land falling beyond it. That is context for checking your route, not proof of steep access at every home.
Describe the actual slope, outside steps, landings and internal stairs between the goods and usable van position. Record stair storeys under the access terms, keeping outside levels and intermediate landings distinct.
Connect the lawful position with the handling work
Give the full address and actual stop to establish its controller through the loading guide. Private drive or building admission is checked separately.
Measure the largest piece through both routes using the property-access guide. Choose offered help for the heaviest piece and full carry. How pricing works explains selected services, time and separate charges.
Outside levels form part of a furniture quote
Illustrative example: a customer collects a desk and drawers near the Triangle. The occupier describes the outside steps and landing turn, measures both pieces and confirms the lawful loading position.
The recipient checks their own entrance and keys. The full inventory, both routes and agreed preparation enter the quote before the van and assistance are selected.
Keep a load-and-levels quote record
- Complete load, travelling dimensions and prepared parts.
- Actual entrance and usable position at each address.
- Slopes, outside steps and internal stair storeys.
- Largest-item fit and selected assistance for both carries.
- Release, receiving keys and fixed appointments.
The London quote guide develops wider price preparation.
Common questions
Can I describe access using another home near the Triangle?
Check your own entrance, usable van position and complete route, including the actual levels at collection and delivery.
Should a sloping path be recorded separately from stairs?
Describe the slope, outside steps and landings separately, with internal stair storeys recorded under the access terms.
