Use one shared inventory and approach record. Prepare furniture to match the accepted corridor and doorway route, then confirm who maintains vehicle and residential admission at both ends.

Confirm the load and current building instructions
List furniture, packed boxes and all parts or accessories. Confirm the exact flat, actual vehicle approach and furniture entrance. Include every extra stop with its own release contact and route.
Use the quote record to settle prepared dimensions, carrying help and access. The building-arrangements checklist helps obtain the current instruction and resolve pending admission before relying on the appointment.
Make the agreed travelling sections ready
Complete agreed preparation, label bed rails or cabinet sections and keep fixings identified with the item. Pack loose contents and protect delicate pieces using suitable materials. Keep available instructions for separately agreed optional work.
If furniture preparation changes, report its actual form before collection. Keep boxes and parts off the accepted corridor and shared access route rather than staging the load where the furniture needs to turn.
Reconfirm the vehicle gate and furniture door
Check the lawful position, private vehicle entrance and opening contact. Ask the occupier or manager to maintain the accepted gate, courtyard, corridor and permitted lift or stair route throughout collection.
At delivery, confirm receiving keys, final-room space and the contact able to maintain the whole route. Use the complete moving-window plan to align those arrangements with all fixed building limits and stops. Choose help for the full gate, courtyard, corridor and receiving-room carries; with customer loading and unloading, arrange sufficient people at both ends. Before booking, give support the fixed gate, lift, seller or key periods and include checks, remaining agreed preparation, loading, all stops, travel and unloading through final-room placement.
The labelled sections match the accepted corridor route
Hypothetical example: a Rotherhithe customer labels prepared bed sections and cabinet parts, with a fixing bag on the shared inventory. The building contact has the agreed vehicle entrance and maintains the route through the courtyard.
The recipient holds the same inventory and confirms the final room. Both ends can reconcile the complete load without losing the connection between a loose panel and its furniture item.
Check release and final room placement
At collection, identify all listed goods, sections and fixings and report any difference before loading. Maintain admission until the complete load has left, and check any additional pickup against its own release record.
At delivery, provide authorised access through unloading and final-room carrying, then reconcile the inventory and parts. Raise any issue through booking support. FMMV allocates a suitable vetted provider after booking according to requirements and availability.
- Complete prepared goods and parts checked.

Use London scheduling guidance for the connected sequence.
