What access details matter for a man and van move in Dudley?
Check the route from the loading point to the items, including door widths, stair turns and any lift. For a furniture collection, obtain those details from the seller as well as checking your own address. Choose loading help using the actual items and access.
Local arrangements to check
Dudley says a permitted vehicle must not obstruct access. Check the working position as well as the route through the building. Dudley decides whether a dispensation is necessary; these conditions are not Birmingham City Council rules. Read Dudley parking dispensations for the current instructions.
Apply this to your address
Show Dudley Parking Management the intended location and why the vehicle needs it if seeking a dispensation. Measure any side path or stepped entrance separately so permission and physical access are both covered.
Make an access record for both addresses
- Record the lawful stopping position, carrying distance, steps and entrance used.
- Measure awkward items against the narrowest door, corridor, stair turn or lift opening.
- Confirm lift reservations, keys and any building loading slot with the responsible person.
Send photographs and measurements before the move if an item may not pass. Discuss preparation or a different handling plan with the team; do not wait until arrival to discover that the planned route is unusable.
