Give useful information that is already settled
List the furniture, approximate boxes and both postcodes. Add floors, lifts and any preparation you need. Explain whether timing depends on property completion, a tenancy, building access or a seller. If you have several possible dates, say which are realistic rather than entering an arbitrary fixed date.
Plan provisional moving dates at the Telford address
For provisional moving dates 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 provisional moving dates, prepare: likely moving period; reason the date is provisional; known load and access details.
- Name the actual Telford entrance and receiving contact, not merely a landmark, car park or town-centre reference.
Reconfirm when the date becomes definite
A provisional discussion is not a held slot. Once you know the date, ask for availability and the current scope and price to be confirmed. Changes to the load, addresses or access can affect the plan as well as the date. Review the booking terms before making other time-dependent promises.
What to update later
- The confirmed day and access windows at both properties.
- Any changed furniture, box count or extra collection.
- Packing, dismantling and carrying work to be included.
Your Telford enquiry checklist

- Explain any unresolved permission, timing or handling question before accepting a quote.
