Check the Christchurch building's furniture entrance

For a Christchurch apartment collection, ask which entrance should be used for large items and whether a lift appointment is needed.

Measure the corridor and final doorway as well as the lift. If the stairs are the only workable route for a piece, tell support before booking so the chosen loading assistance reflects that fact.

Send a usable access brief

  1. Photograph the narrowest doorway, gate or stair turn alongside the item dimensions.
  2. Describe the legal loading position and the complete carrying route.
  3. Confirm any preparation and the person responsible for opening shared or controlled access.

Check the destination too. A piece that leaves the old home easily may need different preparation or handling at the receiving property.

Check the local arrangements

For the Christchurch address, use BCP parking restrictions as a starting point for the current street requirements. Confirm that the guidance covers the actual location and proposed use; it does not grant private-building access.
