01Check large pieces against stairs and gates
Measure garden gates, entrance doors and staircase landings for oversized sofas and wardrobes. If an item was assembled inside a room, explain this before collection. Ask how it can be dismantled or carried rather than assuming the original delivery route still works.
02Plan protection for artwork and unusual items
Identify paintings, delicate lamps and custom furniture in separate photographs. Discuss suitable wrapping and whether specialist handling is needed. Confirm acceptance and scope before booking; a standard furniture move does not automatically cover every valuable or unusual object.
03Agree furniture placement before unloading
Make a simple room plan for your Jumeirah home and decide where large pieces will go. Keep the route clear of packing cartons and nominate a person who can answer placement questions at delivery.
