A contact meeting the vehicle does not establish access for the whole flat load. Confirm who opens each part of the route, how long it remains usable and when the recipient can receive the complete delivery.

Confirm all goods and doors are available together
Agree when the prepared furniture, fragile pieces and boxes in every collection location are ready. Name the person who opens each communal door, gate or separate store, and confirm they can remain available through checking, preparation where agreed and carrying.
Record fixed seller, keyholder, clearance or departure deadlines separately from the proposed pickup arrival. For an additional pickup, include its own goods, contact and opening or facility period.
Match street use and building access periods
Use the position-and-door record to confirm the actual vehicle arrangement and private admission. A street-space approval does not establish when a communal entrance or flat is open.
Where a current building appointment applies, ask whether its limit concerns entry or completed use of the route. Resolve unavailable doors, requested protection and pending manager arrangements before relying on that period.
Connect every stage to the receiving room
Review checking, preparation, carrying from all locations, loading, all stops, travel, unloading and final placement. Confirm receiving keys, final room and any building or lift limit. With customer loading and unloading, arrange sufficient people for every complete carry at both ends.
Give all fixed seller, keyholder, building or facility limits to support before booking and discuss conflicts. Arrival terms concern pickup arrangements, not completed delivery. Use London scheduling guidance for the wider sequence.
The store contact must stay until its boxes are collected
Illustrative example: a Peckham resident can open the main flat while a separate keyholder controls the room containing travelling boxes. Both must fit the collection sequence, followed by the recipient’s key window.
The customer supplies those limits and the full stair routes before booking. They confirm access through the last carry rather than assuming opening the first door completes the handover.
Keep an opening-to-placement sequence
- Prepared load in every room or store.
- Each opening contact and full availability period.
- Vehicle-use and private-admission confirmations.
- Fixed departure, receiving keys and building limits.
- All work through final placement, chosen help and conflicts.
Use it in the room-sweep handover plan.
Common questions
How long should my shared-door contact remain available?
Agree availability for the actual sequence through all relevant carrying and loading, rather than only the vehicle meeting.
Can I promise my recipient a finish time from pickup arrival?
Discuss the complete collection work, stops, travel and delivery route before booking, with both properties’ fixed limits.
