A Norbury collection can include goods in rooms, a garage or a shed at the same address. Count the complete travelling load and explain how each group reaches the actual lawful loading position before choosing space and help.

Check the house and outside storage before finalising the load
List furniture, closed boxes and bags from the main rooms, then inspect cupboards and any garage or shed involved in the move. Identify travelling shelving, garden furniture and other pieces separately, including their dimensions and any unusual weight or fragile features.
Say what will be emptied, packed and prepared before arrival. If belongings are at another address, add a separate stop with its goods and access contact; goods at one postal address can still have several different carrying routes.
Give each group of goods its own usable exit
Croydon’s historic draft character appraisal describes some garages and rear service alleys in the streets between the railway and Green Lane. For a collection there, ask the occupier which approach is permitted and usable now; the document does not establish present access to an alley or garage.
Describe the house route and outbuilding route separately, including gates, passage turns, steps and the carry to the actual stop. Use the piece-and-exit check where a prepared desk needs a different route from boxes.
Include the receiving rooms and selected assistance
Confirm where each part of the load will go at delivery, with keys and the actual route into its room or separately arranged storage space. Measure the largest prepared furniture section through both properties and agree who prepares its removable parts.
Choose help for both complete carries; customer loading and unloading requires sufficient people at each end. Supply both full addresses, all goods, stops, date and fixed limits for the price. How pricing works explains booked time, the shown half-hourly additional-time rate and relevant external charges. A suitable vetted provider is allocated after booking according to requirements and availability.
The garage goods belong in the first inventory
Hypothetical example: a Norbury customer plans to move a prepared desk, chair and room boxes, then finds travelling shelving and more boxes in the garage.
They add the complete outside load before choosing the setup and describe its exit separately from the desk’s house route. The recipient checks where all these pieces will be received, rather than preparing only for the room inventory.
Keep a complete locations-and-load brief
- Every travelling item and box, grouped by collection location.

- Both full addresses, all extra stops and receiving destinations.
- Keys, chosen help and fixed release or building limits.
Use the house-and-outbuilding preparation plan alongside London quote preparation.
Common questions
Do garage belongings count if they are at my Norbury address?
Count every travelling piece and box and describe its own route to the vehicle, even when the house and garage share an address.
Can I describe all the access as a side gate?
Identify which goods use that gate and whether the largest prepared furniture section needs a different measured exit.
