Confirm what travels and how each bulky piece is prepared before the building appointment. Give both contacts the same inventory, actual entrance and receiving-room instructions so the full load stays connected through collection and delivery.

Check the flat and relevant shared storage
List furniture, boxes, bags and non-stackable belongings from the room and any cupboards or shared area involved. Identify what stays and give every other collection its own address, goods and access contact.
Agree furniture preparation and record the largest travelling section. Use the block-and-load brief to provide the actual entrance, both routes, chosen help and fixed limits before booking.
Label parts and preserve the corridor route
Keep removable furniture parts and fixings labelled with their item, and pack loose belongings into manageable closed boxes for the final rooms. Identify fragile pieces and report preparation that cannot be completed as agreed.
Check the prepared section through the actual flat door and accepted stair or permitted lift route. Keep corridors, landings and shared escape access clear while arranging the intercom, gate and opening contact for the complete carrying period.
Reconfirm vehicle position, building contacts and keys
Keep the position-to-flat permission record with the block and entrance details. Confirm receiving keys, the final-room route and sufficient people at each end if choosing customer loading and unloading.
Give seller, keyholder, clearance, building and facility limits before booking. Use the named-entrance timetable for checking, preparation, both full carries, loading, stops, travel, unloading and placement. Expected pickup arrival does not establish finished clearance or completed delivery.
The complete selected flat load reaches the receiving room
Hypothetical example: a Stepney resident prepares a desk, chair and boxes, labels fixings and gives the named entrance, flat number and working intercom contact.
The recipient has the same inventory and prepared measurements, with keys and the final-room route checked. Both contacts stay available through their handovers and account for the selected furniture and parts at delivery.

- Furniture prepared, fixings labelled and loose goods packed.

- Chosen help, reported changes and final-room receipt checked.
Use London scheduling guidance for the wider journey. A suitable vetted provider is allocated after booking according to requirements and availability.
