Pack for the time before everything is unpacked
Choose the bedding, toiletries, clothing and simple kitchen items your household needs immediately. Add chargers and a small supply of practical cleaning materials where suitable. Tailor the contents to your household rather than packing a generic box nobody recognises. Keep anything required during the journey outside the main load.
Plan first-night moving essentials at your Northway address
Northway includes homes, workplaces and managed premises with different entrances. Give the complete GL20 address, exact goods or furniture entrance, surface, access window and the person who can authorise the agreed handover point. Include the room-by-room inventory, stairs, carrying distance and any dismantling request. Check the Gloucestershire Highways maps for current or planned works on the booked date. This guidance does not grant loading permission, promise access or confirm availability.
Match the inventory to the carrying and preparation work. Tell us which items need help, whether packing or dismantling is requested, and who will provide access.
- For first-night moving essentials, prepare: keys and personal documents; bedding and daily essentials; chargers and receiving contacts.

Control important personal belongings yourself
Keep keys, identity documents, medicines and valuables under your own arrangements. Do not hide them in a box that may be stacked behind furniture. If an essentials box should be accessible early at delivery, discuss that before loading. Access priorities depend on the agreed load plan.
A final check before leaving
- You can find the new keys and receiving contact details.
- Everyone knows which bag or box holds immediate essentials.
- Any requested priority unloading has been communicated in advance.
