What access details matter for a man and van move in Maryhill?
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
The Scottish Government links to Glasgow’s LEZ boundary and vehicle checker. Check any city-centre part of the journey separately from the property entrance. Glasgow’s LEZ covers a defined city-centre area. Check the actual route and vehicle, not just the name of the collection area. Read Scottish Government Low Emission Zone guidance for the current instructions.
Apply this to your address
For a shared close, arrange entry and record the floor and narrowest stair turn. Check any Glasgow city-centre section of the journey against the LEZ separately from the stopping position at the property. See Glasgow City Council services.
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.
