Separate your belongings from supplied furniture
List only what you own, including items in shared kitchens or cupboards. Pack loose contents before the agreed collection and label each box. Decide which belongings go home, to another room or into storage. Arrange unwanted items and cleaning separately; neither is part of a student transport enquiry.
Plan student term-end moves 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 student term-end moves, prepare: check-out and key-return time; packed load and destinations; any storage access booking.
Allow for the check-out process
Confirm when the room must be empty and whether an inspection happens before key return. Explain any deadline in the enquiry instead of assuming collection can occur at the final minute. If storage is involved, arrange the unit and its access separately and give the facility’s postcode and opening window.
Before leaving your room
- Check communal spaces for your belongings.
- Keep keys and check-out paperwork outside the packed load.
- Confirm the person receiving items at the next address.
Your Oldbury enquiry checklist
- For student term-end moves, have these details ready: check-out and key-return time; packed load and destinations; any storage access booking.
- 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.
