Checking long-stored contents
Boxes may contain more than ordinary household clutter. Identify electrical items, old paint and chemicals separately, and leave unknown materials undisturbed. If a shelf or cabinet is to go too, include it explicitly rather than showing only the contents.
Access through a side passage
If there is a side route, describe its width, surface and steps. A garden pile behind a locked gate needs different arrangements from furniture beside a front door. Photographs should show the route as well as the waste itself.
Separate the contents from the storage furniture
A Coney Hall storage clear-out may involve cupboards or shelving that you want to use again once they are empty. Say which units are staying and which freestanding pieces are unwanted. Describe fixed shelves as fixed rather than treating them as loose rubbish. If boxes cannot yet be checked, keep them provisional. A useful enquiry explains the intended empty space as well as the visible pile, without authorising removal of every object in the shed or garage.
Deal with overlooked small equipment explicitly
Old chargers, battery-powered tools and small appliances can be lost among general clutter. Mention them in the inventory rather than leaving them concealed in mixed bags. If an item has leaked or cannot be identified safely, leave it undisturbed and describe what you can see. Acceptance of ordinary contents does not establish acceptance of every item uncovered during a long-stored clear-out; additions need to be discussed before collection.
