Moves to & from storage: the Leicester plan
For a Leicester city-centre home move, identify the actual street and permitted entry point before setting the loading time. Where bollards control access, allow for both loading and leaving within the agreed arrangement; keys and vehicle access are separate checks.
- Facility and unit access: include the details for both ends of this move.
- Item list and dimensions: include the details for both ends of this move.
- Opening hours and release details: include the details for both ends of this move.
Arrange the unit before arranging arrival
Confirm the unit is available and that you are authorised to access it on the moving day. Ask the storage provider about opening hours, vehicle access, loading bays, lifts and the route to the unit. Give us those details along with the full facility postcode.
Movivio does not provide a storage unit through this form. Unit rental, access agreements and the facility’s charges remain separate from your transport enquiry. Do not assume that a transport booking includes storage space.
Describe the contents, not just the unit size
A unit’s floor area does not show how much it contains or how heavy the items are. List furniture and appliances, estimate boxes, and identify large or fragile pieces. Tell us whether the contents are already packed and whether furniture is dismantled.
If several people share a unit, identify exactly what should leave and what should stay. Organise labels and access so the correct belongings can be collected without searching through unrelated items.
Coordinate release and destination access
For a collection, check what authorisation the facility requires and who will open the unit. Share necessary release instructions through an appropriate agreed channel; do not publish access codes in public comments or social posts.
For delivery into storage, confirm who will be present, where the items are to go and whether the provider has any handling restrictions. For delivery home, provide the same door, stair, lift and parking details as a normal removal.
Plan separate journeys explicitly
An outward move into storage and a later move out are separate journeys. Give both dates if known, or explain which one is provisional. Each journey’s availability, scope and price must be confirmed.
If your house handover and storage access have different time windows, raise that early. Send your load list and postcodes to start a free enquiry; no unit, vehicle or date is reserved by submitting the form.
Resolve bollard entry window and exit plan
For a Clarendon Park or shared-house move, send the furniture measurements, floor and stair turns. Mark which items belong to you and which remain with the property, particularly when several tenants are moving at once.
For this moves to & from storage request, explain any uncertainty about facility and unit access before accepting a quote. The collection-ready time, vehicle access and recipient availability must work together; a short driving distance does not remove the handling work.
Before you confirm moves to & from storage
Send the full collection and delivery addresses, facility and unit access and item list and dimensions, and photographs of any awkward access. Ask for a written scope covering the handling required at your Leicester address.
Check the proposed supplier, price, vehicle or crew, relevant cover and any waiting arrangements. Do not release the goods until the booking and handover instructions have been agreed.
