Count belongings outside the bedroom
Include your kitchen equipment, hallway storage and anything in a shared cupboard. Mark landlord or housemate property as staying. If the new room is furnished, decide which of your larger pieces will actually move. An accurate selected inventory avoids planning transport for items that have no destination.
Plan room 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 room moves, prepare: your room inventory; furniture staying behind; shared entrance and floor details.
- 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.
Coordinate access with both households
Ask when shared entrances and stairs can be used, and make sure someone can provide keys at each end. Explain any lift booking or restricted loading space. Keep boxes labelled with your name and the destination room so they remain separate from other residents’ belongings. Request carrying help explicitly.
Before you send the room-move enquiry
- Count bags and boxes as well as furniture.
- Give the floor level and any narrow turns at both addresses.
- Identify furniture that will need dismantling before it can leave.
