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 around your Southam access
For Southam home moves, include the full CV47 address and distinguish a town-centre property from an outlying address. If Wood Street is suggested as a meeting point, explain where the furniture actually leaves the building and how far it must be carried. Confirm key access and any shared driveway arrangements before agreeing arrival.
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.
- Use the full CV47 address and distinguish the goods entrance from any Wood Street meeting point.
- For lift access planning, prepare: lift door and cabin dimensions; building permission and time slot; a plan if access changes.
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 Southam 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. CV47 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.
