House removals: the London plan
A London move needs a borough and full postcode as well as a building name. For a flat, send the floor, lift-door dimensions and any move-in appointment before asking for a vehicle size. A concierge booking and roadside loading permission are separate arrangements.
- Room-by-room inventory: include the details for both ends of this move.
- Access at both homes: include the details for both ends of this move.
- Keys and moving date: include the details for both ends of this move.
A quote for your actual household
Start with the furniture in each room and an approximate box count. Add the contents of the garage, loft, shed and garden if they are coming too. This is more useful than bedroom count alone and helps the quote reflect the load you actually need moved.
For a part-house move, list only the items that are leaving. Keep any sale, donation or separate collection clearly marked so it is not confused with the removal inventory.
Moving around a key handover
If your move depends on completion or a tenancy handover, give the expected departure and entry times. Explain any uncertainty so the plan can account for it. A provisional enquiry is welcome, but a date is only reserved once a booking is confirmed.
Before booking, confirm the inventory, crew, price, packing requests, applicable cover and waiting-time arrangements. Tell us if your load or access changes.
Resolve borough, building and loading bay
For an inner-London furniture purchase, ask the seller to measure the item in its travel condition and show the route from the room to the street. A pavement handover must be agreed explicitly; it cannot be assumed when a seller offers collection only.
For this house removals request, explain any uncertainty about room-by-room inventory 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 house removals
Send the full collection and delivery addresses, room-by-room inventory and access at both homes, and photographs of any awkward access. Ask for a written scope covering the handling required at your London 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.
