Begin with where each piece starts and how it will travel. A table at the front of the house and chairs stored elsewhere need one complete inventory, with the actual hall, porch and outside carry described.

Count the complete furniture selection
List the table, chairs, boxes and every loose section, leaf or fixing that travels. Give the dimensions of the largest prepared section, identifying what remains attached and reliable weight information where available. Declare unusual fragility or heaviness before selecting help.
Agree who prepares the furniture. A table still assembled needs a different route assessment from a tabletop with labelled legs. Include any separate storage collection as another stop with its goods, contact and entrance.
Trace each starting location to the accepted exit
Hackney’s February 2024 draft design guide surveys existing Stamford Hill housing forms, including Alkham Road cottage terraces and Leadale Road interwar examples with porch roofs. At your own property, identify the actual furniture door and any porch that forms part of the usable route.
Record the room level, hall turn, internal stairs, outside steps and complete carry to lawful loading. Add the route from chairs or boxes in another room or store. Use the prepared-piece route sheet for the demanding turns.
Check the same sections into the receiving room
Ask the recipient to compare the same largest prepared piece with their entrance, stairs or permitted lift and final room door. Confirm receiving keys and any actual building period. An easy collection exit does not describe the delivery route.
Select assistance for the whole load and both full carries. If using customer loading, arrange your own available people at both ends. Give every stop, preparation task and access route with the pricing inputs.
Stored chairs belong in the original table brief
Hypothetical example: a Stamford Hill customer collects a table and chairs from a terrace. The occupier confirms the prepared tabletop, identifies chairs kept in another room and records the hall turn and usable exit.
The recipient checks the tabletop through the new doorway and has keys ready. The quote includes the whole selection and help through both carries, rather than the table photograph alone.
Keep a room-by-room furniture quote brief
- Complete table, chairs, boxes and accessories.
- Prepared dimensions and preparation responsibility.
- Each starting room or store and actual furniture exit.
- Hall, porch, stairs, outside carry and receiving route.
- Contacts, stops, fixed periods and selected help.
Use London quote preparation for the wider comparison and settle the actual loading arrangement separately.
Common questions
Can stored chairs be added after choosing vehicle space?
Include all travelling pieces and starting locations before selecting space and help; report later additions explicitly.
Does a neighbour’s similar house describe my route?
Give the actual openings, turns and levels from your starting rooms to the accepted vehicle position.
