Lift access planning: the Leeds plan
For Headingley or Hyde Park student belongings, list only the items being moved and identify the correct shared-house room. Separate a landlord's furniture from your own purchases and agree who will be available with keys.
- Lift door and cabin dimensions: include the details for both ends of this move.
- Building permission and time slot: include the details for both ends of this move.
- A plan if access changes: include the details for both ends of this move.
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.
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.
Resolve city-centre approach and loading slot
For a Leeds furniture collection, check the seller's release arrangements before matching it to your moving day. A loading slot and an item-ready time are different constraints; provide both to avoid planning around goods that cannot yet be collected.
For this lift access planning request, explain any uncertainty about building permission and time slot before accepting a quote. The collection-ready time, vehicle access and recipient availability must work together; a short driving distance does not remove the handling work.
Before you confirm lift access planning
Send the full collection and delivery addresses, lift door and cabin dimensions and building permission and time slot, and photographs of any awkward access. Ask for a written scope covering the handling required at your Leeds address.
Check the proposed supplier, price, vehicle or crew, relevant cover and any waiting arrangements. Do not release the goods until the booking and handover instructions have been agreed.
