Open the inventory beyond “garage contents”
Count boxes, shelving, bikes and tools separately, with dimensions and weights where known. Explain whether benches or racks are fixed to the building. Identify items remaining behind. An unexamined collection of containers does not give enough information for transport planning or an accurate scope.
Plan garage belongings transport at the Stoke-on-Trent address
For garage belongings transport involving Stoke-on-Trent, give the full ST1 address and the exact entrance. Use Stoke-on-Trent and the complete ST1 address; identify the correct Potteries town or district rather than treating Stoke, Hanley and the wider city as interchangeable. Identify the exact terraced, canalside, industrial, business or residential entrance and record restricted streets, bridge constraints, gates, floor level, carrying distance and a lawful vehicle position.
Check Stoke-on-Trent City Council's highway-closure, road-problem and parking guidance and all current street signs close to the booked date. A postcode does not establish permission, vehicle suitability or a safe handover point; agree private access with the property contact and arrange any required council permission separately.
- For garage belongings transport, prepare: detailed contents list; heavy equipment identified; liquids and restricted contents disclosed.
- Name the actual Stoke-on-Trent entrance and receiving contact, not merely a landmark, car park or town-centre reference.
Disclose contents that need another arrangement
Flag fuels, gas cylinders, paints, chemicals, sharp equipment and powered machinery before booking. Do not pack them unseen into mixed boxes. Transport capability and exclusions must be confirmed, and some items may be declined. Arrange unwanted materials and waste disposal separately from the removal.
Prepare the agreed garage load
- Secure ordinary loose components in suitable, labelled packaging.
- Identify what has been approved for transport.
- Keep the carrying path and garage entrance accessible.
