Plan both ends of the journey
Give full addresses or postcodes for collection and delivery, plus any extra stops. Explain where the vehicle can load, the carrying distance and the stairs or lift arrangements at both properties.
Do not leave destination access until the last minute. A long journey followed by a locked entrance or an unbooked lift can change the plan. Arrange a contact who can receive the belongings and direct unloading.
Plan longer-distance moves around your Solihull access
For a Solihull move involving High Street or Mell Square, ask the building contact how furniture vehicles gain authorised access and which hours apply. A daytime key handover may not coincide with a permitted vehicle window. If loading must happen from another lawful point, measure the carrying route and identify lifts or shared corridors; agree the sequence before confirming the move.
Describe the full inventory and which parts of the carrying, packing or dismantling you need included. A shorter journey can still involve substantial handling at each property.
- For Solihull High Street or Mell Square, establish access permission and the allowed vehicle window before arranging the handover.
- For longer-distance moves, prepare: full destination postcode; complete load list; collection and arrival windows.
Use an inventory that covers everything
List each large piece of furniture, appliances and the approximate box count. Include stored items and outdoor belongings that are travelling. Tell us if any items need packing, dismantling or specialist handling.
For a smaller long-distance load, describe the actual job rather than choosing a van size. Vehicle, crew and journey arrangements are confirmed as part of the quote discussion.
Discuss dates and arrival expectations
Share the earliest collection and latest delivery windows, key handover arrangements and any date flexibility. Do not assume same-day delivery or a particular route until the schedule is agreed.
Confirm travel, loading, unloading, waiting-time terms and any additional charges in the quote. This page invites UK destination enquiries; it does not promise nationwide availability for every date or cover international removals.
Your Solihull enquiry checklist
