Define the Gosport load before choosing transport

For a room move or furniture collection, list the items and their prepared dimensions rather than describing the job only as small. Include loose components and anything coming from a separate storage space. Explain whether you will dismantle furniture and whether loading help is needed, so the provider can assess the actual load and service required.

Show both furniture routes

Identify the lawful vehicle position at collection and the entrance the items will use. Note any shared doors, steps and narrow turns, with photographs where measurements alone are unclear. Check the receiving property independently, including the final turn into its room. If the preferred stop is unavailable, explain the fallback route before booking rather than assuming the longer carry is equivalent.

Confirm who releases and receives the items

Agree who will open each property and when the complete load will be ready. For a seller collection, confirm all parts are included and prepared for release. Label fittings and keep essentials with you. Notify the provider if the inventory or access changes, and ask how any extra stop or revised arrangement affects the agreed job.
