Choose before you pack
Compare beds, sofas, tables and appliances against the space available. Mark duplicate furniture you are selling, storing or leaving behind. The removal inventory should show the final choices, not every item currently owned. Give dimensions of the selected large pieces and identify any dismantling needed.
Plan moving in together around your Oldbury access
For an Oldbury removal, photograph any barrier between the street and the building and give its marked height. Albert Street, Low Town and West Bromwich Street parking have published height restrictions, so do not base a larger van's access on a previous visit by car. If a barrier prevents close approach, measure the alternative carrying distance and explain stairs or door turns along it.
Separate the tenancy or key handover deadline from your preferred arrival time. Label each person’s belongings and identify items that should remain in a shared house.
- Check the named Oldbury car park's height limit and the actual loading entrance before choosing a vehicle position.
- For moving in together, prepare: a keep-list from each home; both collection addresses; space and access at the new home.
Coordinate two collections and one delivery
List the homes in a proposed sequence with full postcodes and access times. Note different key-return deadlines and who will be present at each collection. Label boxes by final room, while keeping the source home identifiable if needed. Both loads must fit the agreed vehicle plan rather than being treated as unrelated small jobs.
Decisions to make before enquiring
- Which furniture will actually move into the shared home.
- Whether any item needs a separate family or storage destination.
- Who can approve the combined inventory and booking details.
Your Oldbury enquiry checklist
- For moving in together, have these details ready: a keep-list from each home; both collection addresses; space and access at the new home.
- Give both full postcodes and identify the exact entrance and receiving point. B69 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.
