Maintain an item-level record
Give furniture separate inventory lines and number boxes. Note dismantled pieces and where their fittings are kept. If the unit is shared or only part is being emptied, identify exactly what is authorised to leave. Avoid using the unit’s floor area as the only estimate of transport requirements.
Plan storage move inventory 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.
Prepare the load for the real carrying route: protect exposed corners, keep boxes manageable and label their destination rooms. Reserve essential documents and first-night items for personal access.
- Check the named Oldbury car park's height limit and the actual loading entrance before choosing a vehicle position.
- For storage move inventory, prepare: actual stored item list; clear collect-or-stay labels; facility access and release details.
Treat each storage journey separately
An outward move into storage and a later return can have different loads, access and dates. Confirm the facility’s opening window, lift dimensions and release arrangements for the relevant day. You arrange the storage unit; transport does not include rental or a promise that the selected load will fit a particular unit.
Before collection from storage
- Check that the collection inventory is current and accessible.
- Arrange an authorised person to open the unit.
- Provide the destination room plan and any changed furniture condition.
Your Oldbury enquiry checklist
- For storage move inventory, have these details ready: actual stored item list; clear collect-or-stay labels; facility access and release details.
- 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.
