Assess each end of a Hackney furniture move independently
Write down the collection exit and receiving entrance for the largest item. A piece that leaves a house easily may not clear a flat's stair or corridor at delivery. Measure the travelling item against both routes, including tight turns. Give the man and van team the two descriptions instead of describing the whole journey as easy access.
Resolve the preparation before booking
If suitable furniture needs dismantling, decide who will prepare it and keep each section identifiable. Confirm any requested preparation service explicitly. A shared stair may need cleared space without becoming a storage area for the full load. Do not assume the booking includes removing doors, fixtures or parts of the building.
Check permissions at two Hackney addresses
A street arrangement for collection does not authorise the receiving stop. Check each location and arrange keys for each private entrance. Choose loading help for the work at both ends, not just the household members available at departure. Report a changed delivery door or unavailable lift before moving day.
