Use an item list instead of a house-size estimate
Walk through each room and list only the belongings included in the move. Specify quantities where similar chairs, shelves or boxes remain behind. Mark selected pieces consistently, and have someone available who can resolve questions. Do not rely on vague instructions such as taking “about half” of a room.
Plan part-house moves at your Bishop's Cleeve address
For housing away from the village centre, give the street and house number as well as the postcode. Explain whether the vehicle can use the drive or must load from an agreed street position; the number of bedrooms does not establish how close the crew can get.
Match the inventory to the actual carrying and preparation work. Tell us which items need help, whether you want packing or dismantling, and who will provide access at each property.
- For part-house moves, prepare: a selected removal list; clear stay-or-go labels; destination for every item.
- Distinguish a residential front door, a shop’s goods entrance and a community venue’s unloading point. Give the actual receiving contact, not just a landmark in the village centre.
Resolve destinations before loading
If some furniture is going to family and the rest to a new home, number the stops and label each item accordingly. Separate donations, sales and unwanted items that you are arranging yourself. This transport enquiry does not include waste clearance. Report additions before the booking so capacity and carrying time can be reviewed.
Prepare the selected load
- Keep boxes for the move separate from boxes staying in the property.
- Record dimensions of the large pieces included.
- Name a contact who can confirm what is authorised to leave.
