Quote for the belongings you are keeping
Separate the planning list into belongings that will move to the new home, items going to another agreed address and items you are arranging to sell or donate. Give us the confirmed removal load, with any uncertainties clearly marked.
Do not count unwanted belongings as part of the transport load unless an agreed destination has been supplied. Waste disposal and house clearance are not included in a downsizing removal enquiry.
Plan downsizing moves at your Blockley address
At a hillside Blockley home, measure the route from the largest item to the intended loading position. Record steps separately from a continuous slope and explain any turning point where a sofa or wardrobe must be rotated.
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 downsizing moves, prepare: a confirmed keep-list; measurements for the new home; a destination for each item.
- The street address does not describe the carrying route on a sloping site. Include the rise or fall from the agreed loading position to the doorway and any steps or tight turns.
Check the fit before the move
Measure the largest furniture against the space in the new home. Include the route through entrance doors, hallways, lifts and stair turns, not just the dimensions of the destination room. A favourite wardrobe may need dismantling even when it fits the room.
Tell us about any access requirements and the carrying help you need. You do not need to assume you will lift furniture yourself. Packing and assembly requests can be reviewed as part of the scope, with suitability and price confirmed first.
Make family coordination straightforward
Choose a main contact who can agree the inventory and answer questions about the move. If you are enquiring on someone else’s behalf, make sure they have agreed to the move details and to the use of their contact information.
Use clear labels for each destination and keep personal documents, keys and everyday essentials with the person moving. Where different family members are receiving furniture, list their delivery postcodes and available times.
Keep timing and scope clear
If the new property is not ready for the whole load, explain the planned stages. Storage must be arranged separately; we can assess a transport request to or from a storage facility you have chosen.
Send the main items, postcodes and preferred or provisional date for a free quote request. Confirm all stops, carrying work, timing, charges and booking terms before the move is reserved.
