Garage sorting without surprises
Check boxes before including them in a clearance. Set aside personal paperwork and identify old batteries, car fluids or containers with unknown contents. Shelving, tools and stored furniture should be listed separately if they are also intended for removal.
Quoting for a defined job
Say whether you are clearing the entire space or only selected items. Where another person will provide access, include that arrangement in the message without sending unnecessary personal details. Availability and scope should be agreed before making plans around a collection.
Give the person meeting the collection a usable brief
If somebody else is providing access in Chelsfield, send them the same agreed inventory used for the quote. Identify the garage, shed or garden pile clearly, including anything nearby that must stay. Make sure they know who can approve a change if additional rubbish is found. An unlocked gate is not a substitute for a shared understanding of the job, particularly where several storage spaces contain similar boxes or bulky belongings.
Furniture stored behind boxes
A stored freezer, cabinet or workbench should be listed in its own right, even if smaller items fill most of the photographs. Mention whether the route to it is currently blocked and whether the boxes in front are also part of the clearance. Do not drag an appliance out just to demonstrate access. Describe it, say whether it is empty, and ask for its acceptance and handling requirements to be assessed.
