A room move needs more than a count of boxes. Identify your furniture, mattress, bags and belongings in shared areas, then describe how that complete load travels from the room through the agreed door to the vehicle and into the new room.

Settle exactly what belongs to this collection
Walk through your room and any shared cupboards with the other occupiers before making the inventory. Record the desk, bed sections, mattress, suitcases and packed boxes that will travel; distinguish items remaining in the house. Include every additional collection or delivery with its own goods and contact.
Give furniture dimensions in the condition in which it will actually travel. Say who removes any desk legs or bed parts, where labelled fixings will be kept and whether a fragile or unusually heavy piece needs assessment before booking.
Connect the room level to the usable outside door
Tower Hamlets’ June 2025 Tredegar Square appraisal covers a defined area across Mile End and Bow. Its account of basements and security gates at some homes makes the actual room level and entrance important questions for a collection there.
Describe each internal flight, landing turn, outside step and gate between your room and the lawful loading position. Ask who can open the agreed furniture door fully. Use the prepared-piece route record to give the receiving property the same attention.
Choose assistance for the whole load at both addresses
Confirm keys, the final room and a contact at delivery before selecting the moving setup. Customer loading and unloading requires sufficient people for both complete carries; help from a housemate at collection does not establish help at the destination.
Supply both full addresses, all stops, access, date and fixed handover limits for the quote. How pricing works explains the booked time, displayed half-hourly additional-time rate and applicable parking or route charges. Find My Man and Van allocates a suitable vetted provider after booking according to requirements and availability.
A personal inventory resolves the shared-house ambiguity
Hypothetical example: a Mile End renter is moving a prepared desk, mattress, bags and boxes from a shared home near Tredegar Square. A chair in the communal room stays behind, while two boxes in a shared cupboard belong to the move.
The renter supplies the final inventory, room floor and agreed door, with an occupier available to open an outer gate. The recipient checks the desk sections and keys against the new room route before the setup is chosen.

Common questions
Should I include belongings outside my Mile End room?
Include everything that will travel from cupboards, shared rooms or other locations, identifying ownership and any additional stop before choosing space and help.
Does a floor number describe a Tredegar Square collection?
Add the actual entrance, internal and outside steps, gate and full carry to the lawful vehicle position; then describe the receiving route independently.
