Check the proposed loading position

Loading arrangements to check include town-centre apartments above shops with shared entrances and stair access and internal stairs from rear or side entries at upper-floor town-centre properties, permit or time-limited bays around the town centre and station approaches and side-street loading where frontage is constrained by short kerbs or continuous parked cars can make loading access time-sensitive.

Record the property route

Access features to check at the actual address include new-build apartment blocks with managed entrances and lift access, shared apartment entrances with door-entry systems and lift reliance, allocated bays at apartment blocks with loading needing prior access approval and upper-floor flats accessed by internal stairs from rear or side entries.

Coordinate arrival with the access window

Local journey considerations include school-run congestion on local routes in the morning and mid-afternoon, commuter traffic building on approaches to Belfast during early morning and evening peaks, retail and service traffic increasing around the town centre from late morning to mid-afternoon and residential streets where on-street parking is full by late afternoon.

Describe which of these conditions applies to your collection and delivery, and provide the dimensions of any furniture that may not pass. Confirm the entrance contact and any building appointment before choosing the loading help.
