Richmond upon Thames moving preparation guide

Confirm goods, prepared dimensions and release responsibility

List all furniture, boxes and removed parts from every travelling room. Include further addresses with their own goods and contacts. Agree who prepares shelves, legs or frame sections and keep the actual dimensions in the brief.

Use the furniture-exit quote record before choosing vehicle space and help. Confirm the seller or occupier who can release the complete load.

Label parts and preserve the full carrying route

Keep fixings and removable sections labelled with the correct piece, protect fragile surfaces and close manageable boxes. Compare the largest prepared section with the actual door, external stair turn and narrowest approach.

Keep those paths clear through loading and retain the opening contact. Record the lawful vehicle meeting point separately from pedestrian directions, so everyone knows where the prepared load is going after the residential exit.

Reconfirm both properties and all fixed limits

Use the position-and-admission record for the actual approval and private permission. Have the recipient confirm keys, their route and final-room fit with the same dimensions.

Give fixed seller, keyholder, building or facility limits before booking. Connect checking, preparation, both full carries, loading, all stops, travel, unloading and placement. With customer loading and unloading, arrange sufficient people throughout at both ends and report changed goods, stops or access promptly.

The recipient checks all the cabinet parts against the same list

Illustrative example: a Richmond customer prepares a cabinet and boxes, labels its removed shelves and confirms the usable flat exit and outside stair route. The actual vehicle position and remaining carry are recorded.

The recipient uses the same parts list and prepared dimensions to check the new room and keys. Both contacts retain the complete release-to-placement sequence.

Finish the parts-and-handover check

• Complete goods, prepared dimensions and every stop.
• Labelled sections, fittings and fragile protection.
• Clear actual exit, stairs and lawful meeting point.
• Both opening contacts, receiving keys and final room.
• Fixed periods, selected help and reported changes.

Keep the release-to-room schedule with London scheduling guidance. A suitable vetted provider is allocated after booking according to requirements and availability.
