Confirm when the house and each garage, shed or rear route can be opened. Connect those periods with receiving keys and any building appointment before selecting the move window.

Gather the release periods for every part of the load
Ask who holds house, garage and gate keys and when each person is available. Where a private rear approach is involved, confirm access through the full carrying period, including repeated trips; a brief opening at arrival may not cover the collection.
Record any seller release, tenancy clearance, inspection or key-return deadline that limits the job. Include each extra stop’s release contact and period, even if the main Norbury address is flexible.
Connect the vehicle position and receiving appointments
Check the actual street-space and private-access periods through the street-and-admission record. A permitted position does not establish that garage keys or the furniture door are available at the same time.
At delivery, confirm keys, opening contacts and any building or facility deadline for all receiving rooms and spaces. Give fixed seller, keyholder, clearance and building limits to support before booking, leaving unresolved access marked pending until it can be reconciled.
Plan the sequence through the last receiving location
Connect checking the complete inventory, agreed preparation, carrying from rooms and outbuildings, loading, all stops, travel, unloading and placement. Separate exits may create different carrying stages even at one address; include the actual routes when discussing booked time and help.
Arrange sufficient people at both ends for customer loading and unloading. Use London scheduling guidance and arrival terms to discuss the full plan. Pickup arrival is not the point when the property is cleared or delivery is completed.
The garage keyholder has a different available period
Hypothetical example: a Norbury house is accessible through the day, but another person holds the garage key for a limited period. Some furniture must also leave through a different house door, and the recipient has a fixed key appointment.
The customer gives all periods and both collection routes before booking. They arrange access that lasts through the work rather than choosing a pickup time solely because the house itself is open.
Keep a multi-location handover schedule
- Ready load and keyholder for each room or outbuilding.
- Seller, clearance and key-return deadlines.
- Street-space, gate and private-route periods.
- All carries, preparation, loading, stops, travel and final placement.
- Receiving keys, building limits, help and unresolved conflicts.
Use the agreed periods in the chronological preparation plan and report changed access promptly.
Common questions
Is an open Norbury house enough to fix the pickup window?
Confirm access to every travelling group, including garages, sheds and rear gates, for the complete collection period.
Can I use the pickup arrival as the property-clearance time?
Give the fixed clearance limit before booking and plan checking, preparation, both routes and loading through completion. Arrival alone does not establish clearance.
