We will require at least 4 working days notice.

  • Contact details - with an alternative point of contact if possible.
  • When do you need it byÌý- when do you needÌýthe work to be carried out?
  • ±Ê²¹³¦°ì²¹²µ¾±²Ô²µÌý- packing and wrapping is not part of the portering service. The Portering Service does not supply packaging material.ÌýThis must be procured separately by the requesting department.
  • Building and room details - this could be the start and delivery points or where the event is taking place.
  • Descriptions - a list of the items to be delivered or moved. An inventory is essential for a smooth move.Ìý
  • Any other information - Are the items heavy? (ie, you can not move them yourself.) Do they include fixtures? Are there access issues? We will be bringing trollies to safely move large items, but if there's stairs between the item and the nearest lift we need to know about it.
