Plan flat & apartment moves around your Oldbury access
For an Oldbury removal, photograph any barrier between the street and the building and give its marked height. Albert Street, Low Town and West Bromwich Street parking have published height restrictions, so do not base a larger van's access on a previous visit by car. If a barrier prevents close approach, measure the alternative carrying distance and explain stairs or door turns along it.
Describe the full inventory and which parts of the carrying, packing or dismantling you need included. A shorter journey can still involve substantial handling at each property.
- Check the named Oldbury car park's height limit and the actual loading entrance before choosing a vehicle position.
- For flat & apartment moves, prepare: floor and lift details; large furniture sizes; loading and handover times.
Two Oldbury addresses need two access plans
A short journey within Oldbury can still involve more carrying than a longer journey between accessible homes. Describe the collection and destination separately: the floor, stairs, lift, shared doors and distance from a suitable loading position. Include anything in an outbuilding or separate garage.
For a completion-dependent move, distinguish the planned departure from the earliest confirmed access to the new home. Keep an essentials bag with you and agree waiting arrangements while the date is being confirmed.
Small home, accurate inventory
List beds, sofas, tables, appliances and storage furniture, then estimate boxes and bags. Include balcony items and anything stored separately. Mark furniture that needs taking apart and tell us if you need help with packing.
If only a few items are moving, a man-and-van enquiry may be a useful starting point. The crew and vehicle should still match the actual lifting and access requirements.
Coordinate two sets of access rules
Check moving hours at both buildings. Arrange keys, entry fobs and someone to receive the load. If leaving a rental, include the key-return deadline and the earliest access to your next home.
Keep corridors and fire exits clear while preparing. Confirm the agreed price, crew and included work before booking, then update us if the building’s arrangements change.
Your Oldbury enquiry checklist
- For flat & apartment moves, have these details ready: floor and lift details; large furniture sizes; loading and handover times.
- Give both full postcodes and identify the exact entrance and receiving point. B69 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.
