Start with the complete selected load across the house, garage and shed. Prepare the furniture and boxes for their actual exits, then confirm the storage route and all people needed to admit the collection and delivery.

Sweep rooms and outbuildings before finalising the brief
List every travelling piece, box and location, including garden furniture and separately held goods. Add each further address with its own inventory and contact.
Agree what travels assembled, which parts are removed and who prepares them. Use the complete home-to-storage quote record before selecting space and help.
Label the load and keep every exit usable
Keep removed furniture parts and fixings labelled together, protect delicate surfaces and close manageable boxes. Identify non-stackable goods and compare the largest sections with the relevant gates and house turns.
Keep the garage and shed exits clear and arrange their keys or opening contacts. Label the contents so the full load can be identified at the receiving unit rather than leaving loose pieces unexplained.
Reconfirm home loading and the actual facility route
Use the home-position and facility record for the actual permissions, vehicle clearance and private admission. Confirm the separately arranged unit, access period and complete unloading route.
Give fixed seller, keyholder, building or facility limits before booking. Connect checking, preparation, all carries, loading, every stop, travel, unloading and unit placement. With customer loading and unloading, arrange sufficient people throughout and report changed goods or access promptly.
The final sweep catches the shed chairs before loading
Illustrative example: a Stanmore customer prepares a bed and boxes, then checks the garage and shed against the same inventory. The garden chairs and their separate exit are included before collection.
The operator confirms admission to the unit and the receiving route. Labelled bed fittings stay with the load and every contact retains the full sequence and fixed periods.
Finish the home-to-unit handover
- Complete goods list by room, outbuilding and stop.
- Prepared sections, labelled fittings and closed boxes.
- Clear exits and available opening contacts.
- Actual vehicle position and separately arranged unit access.
- Fixed periods, selected help and reported changes.
Keep the home-release-to-unit sequence with London scheduling guidance. A suitable vetted provider is allocated after booking according to requirements and availability.
