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 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 room moves, prepare: your room inventory; furniture staying behind; shared entrance and floor details.
- 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.
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.
