Match the load to the accommodation
Check the supplied bed, desk and storage before adding large furniture to the list. Count clothes, books, kitchen equipment and bedding, and identify anything particularly heavy. Do not assume there is space for an extra sofa or wardrobe. Ask the accommodation provider about deliveries and whether someone must accompany the load.
Plan student term-start moves around your Rowley Regis access
For a Rowley Regis move, provide the exact street rather than treating Rowley and Blackheath as interchangeable collection points. If the vehicle approaches through Blackheath, establish the lawful route around the bus gate and agree a loading position at the property. Then describe any slope, external steps and the indoor carrying route so the crew plan reflects the address and furniture.
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.
- Identify the specific Rowley Regis neighbourhood and check the approach if the journey passes Blackheath's bus gate.
- For student term-start moves, prepare: accommodation arrival slot; confirmed room contents; your own boxes and furniture.
Plan arrival, keys and unloading together
An accommodation arrival slot is separate from your transport booking. Give the allowed window, key collection point and floor level. Ask about lifts, loading access and the distance to the room. Include the real destination postcode even if the move starts in Rowley Regis and ends at a campus elsewhere.
Keep these essentials with you
- Keys, identity documents and accommodation contact details.
- The items needed before boxes are unpacked.
- Any medicines, valuables and personal electronics you choose to carry yourself.
Your Rowley Regis enquiry checklist
- For student term-start moves, have these details ready: accommodation arrival slot; confirmed room contents; your own boxes and furniture.
- Give both full postcodes and identify the exact entrance and receiving point. B65 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.
