01

From inventory to a useful quote

List the rooms, larger furniture and contents outside the main house. Garages and garden items are easy to overlook when estimating a move. Flag antiques, pianos or anything unusually heavy so handling and access can be assessed before your quote is agreed.

Check the practical arrangements

Tell us about parking at each address, any shared drives and the distance from the vehicle to the door. If you are moving into a new property, confirm who will release the keys and how changes will be communicated. These practical details are central to planning the day.

03

Packing and storage alongside your move

You can discuss packing materials, help with selected items and storage in Newark if the dates do not align. Your Grantham move is coordinated from our Newark base. Our Newark team will confirm what can be arranged for your addresses and schedule.

04

Grantham town properties and village moves

Our Grantham service covers moves in the town and enquiries from nearby communities such as Great Gonerby, Barrowby and Harlaxton. Tell us whether access is from the street, a shared drive or a lane behind the property. For a town-centre address, include the nearest usable loading point and any restrictions you have checked. For a village property, photographs of the entrance and turning space can be more useful than the distance shown on a map.

05

A Grantham move with a gap between keys

When leaving a Grantham property before the next address is ready, separate the items you will need immediately from the contents going into storage. Our storage is in Newark, with collection and delivery available by arrangement. That means the return date, destination access and any packing help need to be included in the discussion, not left until the collection has finished. If your solicitor has not confirmed completion, tell us which dates are provisional so availability and possible changes can be discussed.
