Pimlico moving preparation guide

Confirm the complete load and current instructions

List furniture, boxes and all loose sections or accessories. Confirm the actual flat and furniture entrance, the person who releases the load and any declared additional stop. Use the quote-preparation record to settle dimensions, routes and help.

Ask the authorised manager for the moving instructions that apply to the property and date. Resolve any admission request before relying on the appointment. The building-access checklist helps retain those current instructions.

Prepare sections, fixings and shared-area arrangements

Complete agreed furniture preparation, label parts and keep fixings with the correct item reference. Pack loose contents and protect delicate sections using suitable materials. Keep instructions available for any separately agreed optional work.

Confirm who arranges any actual shared-area protection requirement and when it will be in place. Keep the measured carrying route usable and do not stage boxes on the communal stair or in an entrance needed for the move.

Reconfirm doors, keys and connected windows

Make sure the collection contact can open the agreed furniture entrance and maintain access through loading. Check the lawful vehicle position, private or estate vehicle admission and any actual lift arrangement independently.

The recipient should confirm keys, final-room space and the full receiving route, with the chosen help ready. With customer loading and unloading, arrange sufficient people for the complete carries at both ends. Reconcile both sides with the whole-job moving window, reporting a changed building period or preparation task before collection.

One record follows the bed sections and cabinet

Hypothetical example: a Pimlico customer labels prepared bed sections and a fixing bag, with a cabinet and boxes on the same list. The occupier has the agreed entrance instruction and the building contact maintains admission.

The recipient uses the same list and prepared dimensions at delivery. The handover can identify the complete furniture and accessories without relying on the collection contact to remember loose parts later.

Check release and receiving completion

At collection, identify the agreed goods, sections and fixings and explain any change before work begins. Maintain the accepted route until all listed belongings have left. Check any additional stop against its own release record.

At delivery, keep authorised admission available through unloading and final-room placement. Reconcile the load and parts, and report an issue through booking support. FMMV allocates a suitable vetted provider after booking according to requirements and availability.

• Complete load and prepared parts checked.
• Current building instructions and opening contacts ready.
• Shared route maintained during both carries.
• Final-room inventory and fixings reconciled.
• Changes or issues raised through booking support.
