Group similar furniture without hiding differences
Separate straight desks, corner desks, meeting tables and sit-stand models. Count chairs, pedestals, screens and cable trays as additional components. Give the size of the largest fixed top and explain whether bases will be detached. Identify glass or powered elements before transport suitability is assessed.
Plan office desk & chair transport around your Smethwick access
For a Smethwick move, show where the vehicle can stop and how furniture reaches the doorway. If someone suggests Stony Lane, St Paul's Road or Gilbert Road parking, check that specific entrance for the planned van. Measure the carrying distance from a suitable position, describe shared hallways or stairs, and agree a different loading point if the barrier rules out close access.
Assign a contact at each workplace, agree the goods or staff entrance and label assets by destination. Confirm loading, lift and building access separately from normal public opening hours.
- Identify the exact Smethwick entrance, including east or west where relevant, and check the posted height restriction.
- For office desk & chair transport, prepare: quantities by furniture type; desk sizes and construction; preparation and room placement.
Agree dismantling and unloading responsibilities
Explain which furniture will be ready to carry and which work you want discussed. Label components by workstation or room so similar parts remain together. Keep electronics and business records under your organisation’s arrangements. Confirm whether delivery means room placement or an agreed assembly task, as these are different scopes.

Your Smethwick enquiry checklist
