Lift access planning: the Liverpool plan
For a Liverpool terrace move, describe the entrance steps and turns inside the hallway before agreeing large furniture handling. Where the vehicle cannot stand directly outside, give the carrying distance rather than assuming a roadside collection.
- 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 waterfront building and reserved loading space
If a Liverpool move needs a parking-bay suspension, confirm who will apply and wait for permission before building the timetable around it. Keep seller collection appointments separate from the time you receive the keys to your new home.
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 Liverpool 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.
