Prepare the selected load and maintain each property route

Purley moving preparation guide

Prepare a Purley home or storage load in order, with all indoor and rear-storage goods listed, labelled furniture parts and contacts through final handover.

Editorial review:

Use one complete inventory with starting locations attached. Prepare the load to match the agreed house and garage routes, while keeping the receiving contact ready for the full room or unit delivery.

Confirm what travels from every location

Walk the home, garage and any garden store with the selected list. Mark what travels and what stays, including furniture, packed boxes and accessories. Confirm every separate stop and the receiving home or allocated unit.

Use the quote-preparation brief to settle travelling dimensions, access and chosen help. For storage, reserve the unit separately and confirm authorised admission before relying on the moving arrangement.

Make furniture and outside-store goods ready

Complete agreed furniture and appliance preparation, pack loose contents and label panels and fixings with the correct item. Identify unusually heavy or delicate goods before collection and keep available furniture instructions with the record.

Keep eligible optional work at agreed moving stops explicit. If preparation changes or another item is added, tell support promptly so the actual job can be reviewed before collection.

Reconfirm the drive, doors and receiving access

Confirm permission and usable vehicle clearance for the proposed position, then maintain the accepted carrying route beyond it. Ask the opening contact to keep the house, garage and any gate accessible throughout collection.

At delivery, confirm keys or facility admission, the route inside and the final room or unit. Use the whole-job timing record to connect those arrangements with all carries and fixed access limits. Arrange the selected carrying help for the house, garage and full room or unit delivery; customer loading and unloading requires sufficient people at both ends. Give support fixed release, key and facility limits before booking, with checks and remaining preparation followed by all carries, loading, every stop, travel, unloading and final placement.

The cabinet and garage boxes share one record

Hypothetical example: a Purley customer labels prepared cabinet parts and garage boxes for storage. The collection contact has the complete list, the agreed drive position and both carrying routes.

Before departure, they check the house and garage against the list. The receiving contact uses the same references to reconcile the parts and boxes after the final unit carry.

Complete collection and the destination check

At collection, identify the prepared load, sections and fixings and report any change before loading. Check every listed starting location before the vehicle leaves and maintain access until collection ends.

At delivery, provide authorised entry and keep the accepted route available through final placement. Reconcile the complete load and report any issue through booking support. FMMV allocates a suitable vetted provider after booking according to requirements and availability. The storage preparation checklist helps retain a usable unit record where relevant.

  • All locations and prepared goods checked.
  • House, garage and gate routes maintained.
  • Receiving contact and full route available.
  • Parts and boxes reconciled at final handover.
  • Changes or issues raised through booking support.

Use London scheduling guidance for the connected sequence.
