A short keep, donate and remove checklist to make the day easier. The best option depends on the item, the property and how quickly the space needs to be clear.
Make three clear groups
Label items as keep, donate or remove. Do not rely on memory once several people are helping.
Protect documents and valuables
Set aside keys, photographs, financial papers, jewellery and anything linked to the property sale.
Walk the route
Check doors, stairs, lifts and parking. Tell the team about anything unusually heavy or fixed in place.
QUICK CHECKLIST✓ Use coloured labels✓ Lock away keep items✓ Photograph every room
When a collection service is the easier choice
If you cannot lift the items, have tight access or need the space cleared on a set day, a crewed collection can save time. Send photos of the full load and route so the quote covers the work properly.
