What access details matter for a man and van move in Islington?
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
Islington directs housing-estate parking enquiries through a separate process. Identify whether the proposed stop is on the street or estate before arranging access. These rules apply to the relevant Islington street restriction; estate parking has a separate route. Read Islington parking to move home for the current instructions.
Apply this to your address
If the loading plan includes waiting for keys or finishing packing, separate that waiting from active loading. For an estate address, establish the appropriate housing contact as well as the route from vehicle to entrance.
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.
