Check the entire route into the lift
Measure the opening, cabin depth and width, and any corridor turn before the lift. Obtain the stated capacity information from the building contact. An item may fit inside but not turn through the doorway. Identify furniture that will need dismantling or cannot use the lift at all.
Plan lift access planning at the Ellesmere address
For lift access planning involving Ellesmere, give the full SY12 address and the exact entrance. Use Ellesmere, Shropshire and the complete SY12 address; distinguish the town and property from the wider meres area and other places or organisations named Ellesmere. Identify the actual waterside, town-centre, residential or rural entrance and record narrow approaches, signed restrictions, gates, surfaces and a lawful vehicle position.
Check Shropshire Council's interactive roadworks map, current closures and any required temporary restriction process and all current street signs close to the booked date. A postcode does not establish permission, vehicle suitability or a safe handover point; agree private access with the property contact and arrange any required council permission separately.
- For lift access planning, prepare: lift door and cabin dimensions; building permission and time slot; a plan if access changes.
- Name the actual Ellesmere entrance and receiving contact, not merely a landmark, car park or town-centre reference.
Confirm the building’s arrangements
Ask whether moving requires a reserved slot, protective lining or use of a particular goods lift. Confirm access at the destination too. Tell Movivio about a broken or unavailable lift before the move; a stairs-only alternative can change suitability, crew and price. Do not assume it is covered by the original plan.
Details to include in your request
- The working lift’s opening and usable internal dimensions.
- Any booking window and who controls access.
- Stair details for items that cannot use the lift.
Your Ellesmere enquiry checklist
- For lift access planning, have these details ready: lift door and cabin dimensions; building permission and time slot; a plan if access changes.
- Give both full postcodes and identify the exact entrance and receiving point. SY12 is a location reference, not the whole service area.
- Explain any unresolved permission, timing or handling question before accepting a quote.
- Check the quote’s supplier, price, inclusions and booking terms before confirming.
