Sidcup moving preparation guide

Confirm the purchase and collection authority

Agree with the seller exactly what is included, who releases it and the actual furniture entrance. Confirm payment or release arrangements separately from transport. List every additional purchase and address before relying on the booking.

Use the seller-to-room quote brief to settle prepared dimensions, both complete routes and selected help. Confirm the recipient’s keys and intended room.

Make the agreed furniture form ready

Ask the seller to complete the preparation they have agreed, label sections and keep fixings and accessories with the correct item reference. Pack loose contents and protect delicate pieces using suitable materials.

Keep any eligible optional work at agreed moving stops explicit and retain available instructions. Report an added item or change in preparation before collection so the actual route can be reviewed.

Reconfirm the porch, lawful position and receiving route

Arrange an available contact who can open the seller’s home and maintain the accepted route until loading is complete. Keep the porch, path and gate clear and reconfirm the lawful vehicle position and any private permission.

The recipient should maintain access into the final room, with keys ready. Use the full handover timeline to align the contacts with fixed seller, key and building limits. Confirm help for the seller’s porch and full receiving carry, with sufficient people at both ends for customer loading and unloading and seller assistance agreed separately. Give support fixed release, key and building limits before booking, connecting checks, remaining preparation, both carries, loading, all stops, travel, unloading and final-room placement.

The cabinet shelves travel with their labelled item

Hypothetical example: a Sidcup buyer collects a cabinet with boxed shelves and a fixing bag. The seller identifies them under one item reference and confirms the agreed porch route.

The recipient holds the same list and checks the cabinet, shelves and fittings after final-room delivery. The complete purchase remains identifiable without relying on an informal description at the door.

Check release and final-room handover

At collection, identify the agreed furniture, sections and accessories and report any difference before loading. Confirm that every included component is released before the vehicle leaves, maintaining the accepted entrance throughout.

At delivery, provide authorised access through unloading and final-room carrying, then reconcile the purchase and parts against the shared record. Raise any issue through booking support. FMMV allocates a suitable vetted provider after booking according to requirements and availability.
