How to prepare before requesting a price

Kensington High Street High Street weekday 9–10am window is the only reliable pre-lunch slot without a bus lane camera risk Preparation does not need to be complicated.

  • Send one photo of each bulky item and one photo of the collection route
  • State whether the item is first-floor-or-above or ground-floor collection
  • Call out concierge policies, loading bay bookings, or timed vehicle access
