Work through one room at a time
List the larger pieces first: beds, wardrobes, sofas, tables and appliances you plan to take. Mark items you will leave behind or are still deciding about. Include garage, loft, garden and spare-room belongings if they form part of the move.
Add quantities and useful measurements
Give the quantity of each type of item and approximate dimensions for large or unusual pieces. Explain whether furniture can be dismantled. Add an estimated box count for smaller belongings, clearly labelled as an estimate when packing is not finished.
- Room or location and a short description of the item.
- Quantity, approximate size and whether it is travelling.
- Packing, dismantling or particular handling needs.
Use photos to explain particular items
A photo can show the shape, finish or condition of a piece more clearly than a long description. Add close-ups of fragile details or existing damage where useful. Access photos can help explain stairs, doorways or a difficult approach.
Upload what you already have
You can attach a spreadsheet, document, PDF or photos in the moving enquiry. Complete your contact, route, approximate size and timing details, then choose your files. The form accepts up to 10 files, 5 MB each and 15 MB altogether; they are attached to the enquiry emails.
Keep the list current
Tell us when you add or remove items, finish packing or change a handling requirement. Before agreeing a quotation, check which inventory it covers. Keep a copy with your moving reference so you can identify the same list during follow-up.
Your questions answered
Do I need to list every small item?
Start with furniture and larger belongings, then estimate boxes or describe unpacked room contents. The assessment can establish where more detail is needed.
What if I have not decided what to take?
Mark uncertain items clearly and update the list when you decide. Do not include them as confirmed belongings without explaining the uncertainty.
