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 at the Telford address
For longer-distance moves involving Telford, give the full TF3 address and the exact entrance. Use Telford, Shropshire and the complete TF3 address; distinguish the actual town-centre, estate, business park or residential district rather than treating Telford as one undifferentiated destination. Identify the named building and correct access road, service yard or residential entrance, with gate instructions, height or weight limits, carrying distance and a safe handover point.
Check Telford & Wrekin Council's roadworks information, traffic regulation orders and any required temporary order process 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 longer-distance moves, prepare: full destination postcode; complete load list; collection and arrival windows.
- Name the actual Telford entrance and receiving contact, not merely a landmark, car park or town-centre reference.
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.
