# What services do professional movers in Milan offer?

From the survey to reassembly, a move can include a range of services. Here is what to ask about packing, furniture lifts, permits, storage and insurance cover in Milan.

## Survey and planning

The service begins by assessing belongings, volume and access. The survey matches the customer's needs to vehicles, staff and timing before the quote is formalised.

- Inventory and photographs of the furniture.

- Checking floor levels, lifts, stairs and loading areas.

- Defining the work included at collection and delivery.

## Packing, dismantling and reassembly

These tasks can be requested alongside transport or selected as needed. Bespoke furniture and delicate items require specific information.

- Materials and protection selected to suit the belongings.

- Dismantling the agreed items and collecting their components.

- Reassembly and possible alterations to be assessed against the dimensions of the new rooms.

## Furniture lifts and specialist handling

External furniture lifts can help when internal access is unsuitable. The equipment is selected according to operating height, load capacity, distance from the façade and available space.

- The fleet’s rated capabilities do not guarantee access to a particular floor in every building.

- Pianos, safes and very heavy furniture require a dedicated assessment.

- Positioning, operator provision and permits must be defined as part of the service.

## Permits, parking and communal areas

Planning can include managing applications for public space occupation and parking where needed. The building manager confirms the conditions for using communal areas.

- Check vehicle access conditions at the address.

- Agree any signage and protection for access routes.

- Agree who will handle permits and which costs are included.

## Understanding insurance cover

The abbreviations describe different types of cover and do not replace the policy terms. Ask for the applicable documents and declare the value of the goods before confirmation.

- Public liability insurance: covers liability to third parties within the policy's limits.

- Transport cover: check the goods, insured events, limits and compensation criteria.

- All Risks cover on request: check availability, declared value, excesses and exclusions.

- RCO covers liability towards workers; it does not generally exempt the customer from every possible liability.

## Storage and completion of the service

Storage can bridge a gap between two availability dates. Duration, inventory, access to belongings and redelivery must be agreed, along with any unpacking and packing-material collection services.

## Before you move, let’s make things clear.

### Is furniture assembly always included in a move?

This must be specified in the quote. State which furniture needs dismantling, reassembly or adaptation, and identify any bespoke pieces.

### When is a furniture lift used?

When the technical assessment finds it suitable and positioning is possible and authorised. The floor number alone is not enough to determine this.

### Does an All Risks policy cover every event?

No. This cover also has conditions, exclusions and limits to check in the policy documents before the service.

### Can permit handling be included?

It may be included in the service. The quote must specify which applications are handled and how charges and work are calculated.
