Check rooms, cupboards and any garage or shed before packing around the largest furniture. Give each group a clear inventory, a permitted exit and a receiving destination so nothing depends on a last-minute search or an unopened outbuilding.

Agree all travelling goods before choosing the setup
List furniture, shelving, bags and boxes by the place they are collected from. Identify what remains, and confirm that stored belongings are included in the same booking brief. Add another address as an extra stop with its own inventory and contact.
Measure the agreed travelling furniture and decide who prepares each item. Use the complete-load quote brief for both full addresses, routes, chosen help and fixed limits. A suitable vetted provider is allocated after booking according to requirements and availability.
Pack and label without closing the agreed routes
Empty and prepare furniture as agreed, keeping removed parts and fittings with the correct item. Pack loose goods in manageable closed boxes labelled for their receiving room or space, and identify fragile pieces for the handling discussion.
Keep the side gate, outbuilding door and house furniture exit available. Compare each prepared piece with its assigned route before stacking packed goods nearby; confirm an alternative exit if required rather than discovering the question during loading.
Reconfirm keys, periods and the complete working sequence
Use the permission record for the actual lawful stop and private approaches. Confirm the house, garage and gate keyholders, receiving keys and final destinations, with sufficient people for both full carries if selecting customer loading and unloading.
Give seller, keyholder, clearance, building and facility limits before booking. Use the multi-location schedule to connect checking, preparation, all collection carries, loading, stops, travel, unloading and final placement. Pickup arrival does not establish that the property is clear or delivery complete.
The receiving contact has the whole house-and-garage list
Hypothetical example: a Norbury customer prepares a desk and room boxes, then packs and labels garage shelving parts and stored boxes. The desk has an agreed house exit while the outbuilding goods use a permitted side route.
Both collection contacts and the recipient hold the same full inventory and key plan. They keep each route open through loading and check the pieces into their receiving destinations at the handover.
Complete a location-by-location handover checklist
- All travelling goods recorded, including cupboards and outbuildings.
- Furniture prepared, fittings labelled and loose goods packed.
- Each permitted route clear and actual loading position confirmed.
- All keys, receiving destinations and fixed periods reconciled.
- Chosen assistance, reported changes and complete receipt checked.
Use London scheduling guidance when connecting the wider journey and keep the latest agreed plan with the booking information.
Common questions
What should I check before finishing the Norbury packing?
Walk every relevant cupboard, garage and shed, then compare the travelling list with the booking and keep each agreed carrying route open.
Who needs the complete inventory at handover?
The collection contacts and recipient should know all travelling goods, prepared parts, routes and receiving destinations, including the outbuilding load.
