Mitcham moving preparation guide

Settle what travels and where it is now

Walk through the home, garage and outbuildings with the selected inventory. Mark what is moving and what stays, and count boxes consistently. Add any separate collection before booking so each stop has its own load, contact and access record.

Confirm the storage unit is available and the authorised recipient can attend. Use the home-to-unit quote record to connect the whole selection with both property routes and chosen help.

The storage preparation checklist helps coordinate the separately reserved unit, item record and eventual collection.

Prepare and label the agreed travelling pieces

Empty furniture and secure loose contents. Complete agreed preparation, label panels and removed parts and keep fixings with the correct item. Keep the dimensions of the prepared sections with the inventory so neither contact works from the original assembled size.

Arrange any eligible optional preparation separately rather than assuming loading help covers it. Keep ordinary boxes and suitable protection ready, and explain delicate or unusually heavy items before collection.

Reconfirm the exact home and facility arrangements

Check the actual approach to the Mitcham address, who opens each required door and whether the garden or garage route remains usable. Keep packed belongings out of the carrying route. Reconfirm the lawful loading position and any private vehicle admission. Reconfirm the chosen help for the house, garage and full unit route; with customer loading and unloading, arrange sufficient people at each end.

At storage, retain the unit details, vehicle entrance, admission contact and agreed lift or corridor arrangements. Connect opening and completion limits using the moving-window plan; report changes before relying on the existing slot.

The garage load is ready with the household boxes

Hypothetical example: a Mitcham customer prepares table sections and garage shelving, labels the fixings and puts each part on the agreed inventory. The home contact knows which outside door to open and which belongings remain behind.

The receiving contact carries the same list and confirms the assigned unit. Both contacts can reconcile the complete load without mistaking a loose panel for an unlisted extra.

Complete collection and receiving checks in order

At collection, identify the agreed goods, prepared sections and any change before loading begins. Maintain the accepted route and make sure all listed locations have been checked before the vehicle leaves. Keep the receiving contact informed through the booked communication arrangements.

At delivery, provide authorised admission and direct the agreed goods to the unit. Check the load and labelled parts against the shared list and raise an issue through the booking support process. FMMV allocates a suitable vetted provider after booking according to the requirements and availability. Use London scheduling guidance to keep the final carry inside the confirmed window.
