Check the Portslade side route as well as the front door
For a Portslade collection using a side passage, measure the narrowest opening and note turns between the room and the vehicle. Check whether the largest piece can be prepared for that route.
Photograph the entrance and describe the lawful stopping point. Do not choose the loading team from the number of items alone when the carry is awkward.
Send a usable access brief
- Photograph the narrowest doorway, gate or stair turn alongside the item dimensions.
- Describe the legal loading position and the complete carrying route.
- 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 Portslade address, use Portslade parking reference 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.
