London moves around shifts, housing changes and budgets

A move may need to fit around shifts, a housing deadline or someone else's approval. Tell us the practical arrangements that matter, along with the belongings and addresses. NHS staff, other shift workers, residents and council contacts can use the usual enquiry routes. We review the job rather than assuming everyone can meet a crew at the same time.

PLAN YOUR REQUEST

NHS staff and shift workers

Let us know which collection or delivery times you can manage and whether another person can meet the crew. If you have a firm deadline for leaving a property or storage unit, include it. A request for a particular time still needs to be checked against availability; it is better to explain the restriction before you book.

Council and housing related moves

Council teams and housing organisations can send collection and delivery details through the form. Include the contact arranging access and any purchase-order or approval requirement. If belongings are moving into storage while a home is being arranged, explain the expected duration and whether the return address is known.

Working within a limited budget

List what needs moving and identify any flexibility on dates. Ask which work is essential, what the quotation includes and whether optional packing or dismantling is charged separately. If you intend to prepare items yourself, agree what will be ready for collection. Plan from the quoted costs; a request alone does not confirm a concession or financial assistance.

Access or practical assistance needs

Explain the help needed at the address, such as a contact to open the door or furniture that must be moved from an upstairs room. You can describe a practical requirement without sharing medical history or case records. Tell us who can confirm arrangements if another person is coordinating the job. Specific assistance and timing need agreeing before booking.

Storage as part of a housing change

You can ask for a move into storage, collection from an existing unit or storage on its own. If the next address or return date is not known, say so. Ask how storage charges, access and later delivery would be handled. A housing change can involve several bookings, and each part should be clear before it is agreed.

A clear request helps us review the move

Give the actual collection and delivery needs so the movers can review the work. Use the storage form for a storage related journey and the domestic form for a direct UK move. Contact the team if you need help choosing a form or explaining practical arrangements.

One contact and a clear handover

If someone is arranging the move on another person's behalf, tell us who can confirm the work and who will meet the crew at each address. Explain any approval step before booking. Put practical information about access, items and timing in the request, and keep confidential background details out of it. A clear contact arrangement helps avoid conflicting instructions on the day.

An example enquiry

A council contact is coordinating a resident's move into storage before a new address is available. Give the collection area, items, access contact and expected duration. Leave confidential case information out of the public request.

Use this example as a guide to the details you can include in your own request.
