Follow the route from the room to the road
Include long communal corridors, paths through gardens, gates and external steps. Estimate the distance and describe uneven surfaces or steep sections. If the load must cross a shared courtyard, confirm permission and access times. The route should be based on a suitable loading location rather than a hoped-for space.
Plan long carrying distances around your Stourport-on-Severn access
For a Stourport-on-Severn move, identify the property entrance and a firm, lawful loading position before estimating the furniture carry. If a route passes through shared or waterside access, explain any gates, steps and permissions. A short straight-line distance from a visitor car park may conceal a much longer usable carrying route.
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.
- Confirm vehicle clearance and a firm stopping surface; do not use a waterside path as a vehicle approach.
- For long carrying distances, prepare: approximate carrying distance; surface and steps on the route; suitable loading location.
Relate access to the actual load
Many boxes may require repeated carrying trips, while one large item may need additional handling. Describe heavy or fragile pieces and whether assistance is needed throughout. Trolleys are not suitable for every surface or item, so do not assume equipment will eliminate carrying work. Access changes should be reported before the agreed day.
Include these observations
- Where the vehicle can reasonably load and how far away it is.
- Any gates, slopes, steps or controlled doors.
- Whether the route is shared with residents or the public.
Your Stourport-on-Severn enquiry checklist
