Check Stratford vehicle clearance before selecting transport
For a managed development, ask management for the authorised furniture entrance and any vehicle-clearance restrictions. Identify whether loading uses a service road, courtyard or public street. Send the measurements and entry instructions to the man and van team before relying on a particular vehicle position.
Match the lift route to the largest item
Check the lift doorway and usable interior, then the corridor and apartment entrance. Describe pieces that need preparation or must use another route. Confirm who completes that work. A building lift reservation establishes an access arrangement, not proof that the assembled furniture can fit through it.
Keep Newham street arrangements distinct
Where the chosen stopping point is on a council street, check its current requirements independently of the building's loading appointment. Arrange a contact to open controlled doors and preserve shared access during handling. Notify the booking team if the authorised entrance or clearance changes; do not expect an improvised route through another part of the site.
