Check communal rooms as well as your bedroom
Identify your kitchen equipment, furniture, books and stored boxes. Agree with housemates which shared items are moving before collection day. Label your boxes with a name and destination room. Keep another resident’s similar-looking items separate so the collection does not depend on guessing which is yours.
Plan shared-house moves around your Aldridge access
For an Aldridge move, specify the full WS9 address, driveway dimensions and any shared access before estimating the carrying work. If loading depends on restricted road space, establish the lawful arrangement early and allow for a longer carry if permission is unavailable. Keep entrances and pavements clear while boxes and furniture are moved.
Separate the tenancy or key handover deadline from your preferred arrival time. Label each person’s belongings and identify items that should remain in a shared house.
- Agree a lawful Aldridge loading location and a fallback carrying or handover point if restricted road space cannot be used.
- For shared-house moves, prepare: named personal inventory; agreed shared-item ownership; access contact for each home.
Coordinate the people who control access
Confirm who will open each property and where the load can be gathered without blocking corridors. Explain whether housemates are moving at the same time, because shared loading space may be limited. If several residents want transport, list each person’s load and destination before the quote is assessed.
A clear shared-house request includes
- Only the furniture and boxes authorised to leave.
- Floor levels, stair turns and common entrances.
- Any distinct collection or delivery stops for different residents.
Your Aldridge enquiry checklist
- For shared-house moves, have these details ready: named personal inventory; agreed shared-item ownership; access contact for each home.
- Give both full postcodes and identify the exact entrance and receiving point. WS9 is a location reference, not the whole service area.
- Explain any unresolved permission, timing or handling question before accepting a quote.
- Check the quote’s supplier, price, inclusions and booking terms before confirming.
