Walk through the home, garage and outbuildings before settling the inventory. The receiving unit needs an access description of its own: arrival at a facility entrance is only one stage of delivery.

Collect one inventory from all the storage spaces
List furniture and packed boxes room by room, then add the garage shelving, garden furniture and other agreed belongings outside the main home. Identify unusually heavy or fragile pieces and give dimensions of the largest prepared sections. Record what will remain behind so that a later walk-through does not quietly expand the load.
State who will empty, pack and prepare each piece. A shelving unit that travels in labelled panels presents a different load from the same unit still assembled with contents inside. Declare every additional collection or delivery with its own items and contact.
Describe the exact Mitcham exit and loading approach
For a home around Three Kings Piece, identify the actual house entrance and street approach rather than giving the open space as a meeting point. Check the gate, garden path, doorway, internal turns and any separate garage exit. Show where those routes join the lawful vehicle position.
On Commonside East, identify the approach that serves the house, including any separate entrance serving the garage. Record the usable route today. Confirm private access with the occupier and use the loading-arrangement guide where road space needs checking.
Quote delivery through to the assigned unit
Ask the receiving facility for the allocated unit, admission contact and vehicle entrance. Record the full carry through any reception, corridor, floor change or permitted goods lift to the unit door. Confirm who opens the unit and whether an appointment is needed.
Choose assistance for both full carries. If using customer loading, arrange your own available people at each end. Compare the same inventory, routes, stops and help when considering the quote; pricing guidance explains the booking inputs.
A garage item belongs in the original brief
Hypothetical example: a Mitcham customer selects a table, chairs and boxes for storage, then includes dismantled garage shelving during the inventory walk-through. The shelving panels and labelled fixings are listed before vehicle space is selected.
The customer records the home gate and actual storage corridor as well as the two addresses. This creates one complete quote brief without treating a facility postcode as a description of unit access.
Send a home-to-unit quote record
- Complete travelling inventory from rooms, garage and outbuildings.

Use London quote preparation for the wider comparison, then retain the same record for the later change check.
Common questions
Must garage belongings be listed separately?
Include them in the complete load, identifying their location and prepared form so the collection route is clear.
Is the storage reception address sufficient?
Add the assigned unit, authorised contact and route from the vehicle through to that unit.
