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 the Lichfield address
For room moves involving Lichfield, give the full WS13 address and the exact entrance. Use Lichfield, Staffordshire and the complete WS13 address; distinguish the city property from the wider district, cathedral area or similarly named premises. Identify the exact city-centre, business, residential or rural entrance and record pedestrian areas, timed controls, gates, floor level, carrying distance and a lawful vehicle position.
Check Staffordshire County Council's roadworks map, traffic regulation orders, parking guidance and any required temporary traffic-management process and all current street signs close to the booked date. A postcode does not establish permission, vehicle suitability or a safe handover point; agree private access with the property contact and arrange any required council permission separately.
- For room moves, prepare: your room inventory; furniture staying behind; shared entrance and floor details.
- Name the actual Lichfield entrance and receiving contact, not merely a landmark, car park or town-centre reference.
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.
Your Lichfield enquiry checklist
- For room moves, have these details ready: your room inventory; furniture staying behind; shared entrance and floor details.
- Give both full postcodes and identify the exact entrance and receiving point. WS13 is a location reference, not the whole service area.
- Explain any unresolved permission, timing or handling question before accepting a quote.
- Check the quote’s supplier, price, inclusions and booking terms before confirming.
