Follow the route from the room to the road
Include long communal corridors, paths through gardens, gates and external steps. Estimate the distance and describe uneven surfaces or steep sections. If the load must cross a shared courtyard, confirm permission and access times. The route should be based on a suitable loading location rather than a hoped-for space.
Plan long carrying distances around your Atherstone access
A move from an Atherstone address near Long Street or Market Square needs the exact loading point and a clear route through any shared entrance. If a market or event overlaps your preferred date, ask the occupier how access will work. Keep the key handover time separate from the time a vehicle can reach the property.
Confirm the carrying route and any access permission before fixing a vehicle plan. If you need road space, consult the council in advance and keep the application outcome with your move details.
- Confirm the Long Street or Market Square entrance and any date-specific event access.
- For long carrying distances, prepare: approximate carrying distance; surface and steps on the route; suitable loading location.
Relate access to the actual load
Many boxes may require repeated carrying trips, while one large item may need additional handling. Describe heavy or fragile pieces and whether assistance is needed throughout. Trolleys are not suitable for every surface or item, so do not assume equipment will eliminate carrying work. Access changes should be reported before the agreed day.
Include these observations
- Where the vehicle can reasonably load and how far away it is.
- Any gates, slopes, steps or controlled doors.
- Whether the route is shared with residents or the public.
Your Atherstone enquiry checklist
