im not saying your wrong,
I'm not saying that you're wrong either (except for the grammar). I haven't seen your property, or your furniture, but their are some inventive people that move things and as I said it is usually doable. Lowered a massive bed over a third story balcony not that long ago. And yes outside can be an option.

@virgil Just finding a carpet layer, let alone a team, is a mission. Going away from apprenticeships actually has caused lots of issues.
Finding a doorman isn't so bad I've found.
Ones that know their grammar a little tougher...
Your a bit shit aint you.
Also hope you’re new doors catch syphilis and fall off ( I know what I said!!)

'LOL"..what are you, 13?...

@Virgil I actually did.
How many times have you seen me say that? I don't even use those new fangled emoji things. Smilies or something...
1 time too many really

I'm a 13 year old Polish chick.
Can't help myself. OMG, LOL.
I’d like that comment but I don’t want to go to jail.

@snowy will be a mix of carpet and vinyl/lino.
Reason for emptying the house was to avoid the pain of having to move it all around two or three times or paying them to do it badly. The kitchen has to have all appliances out including the dishwasher and oven for the flooring.
Order will be paint then carpet.
We have a garage, so we can use that, but not sure about insurance. We asked AMI, and they weren't very useful.

@godder shouldnt be any reason why you cant use your garage (if that is your preferred option) I had a look over AMI wordings earlier and it says there is no cover if put in storage (I assume if this is short term they will offer cover for flood - usually conditions around how it got wet - fire, burglary in the storage facility - accidental breakage usually excluded in storage)
As to the house policy, only need to worry if you are doing any structural changes or exposing a wall/roof to the elements (seems a fairly wide open cover with no limit on the work being done in the wording I found)

See @taniwharugby above re insurance stuff.
The reason I asked about the hard flooring or vinyl was partly the prep and yes they have to move everything. Depending on the condition of the subfloor they may want to feather, or even have to grind / sand a bit. It can be a bit messy. If you have soft furnishings around I mean.
Carpet with underlay is usually fine even if the subfloor isn't great.
Garage does sound like the best storage option. Assuming that you can make it secure.
