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 Stow-on-the-Wold access
Make the proposed loading position part of the moving-day discussion. Public parking at Fosseway or Maugersbury Road is not a reserved removals bay, so agree where the vehicle can lawfully wait and how keys will be handed over.
For lift access planning, prepare lift door and cabin dimensions, building permission and time slot, a plan if access changes. Describe the collection and receiving points separately so the quote can reflect the whole job, including any carrying or handling beyond the vehicle.
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 Stow-on-the-Wold 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 the entrance used for the job. Explain whether the Stow-on-the-Wold address has private loading space or needs an agreed street position.
- Explain any unresolved permission, timing or handling question before accepting a quote.
- Check the quote’s supplier, price, inclusions and booking terms before confirming.
