What access details matter for a man and van move in Westminster?
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
Westminster’s online suspension system does not cover housing-estate land. An estate loading position needs the appropriate separate application route. Westminster guidance applies only where Westminster controls the bay; identify the borough or road authority for the actual address. Read Westminster parking bay suspensions for the current instructions.
Apply this to your address
Establish whether the intended space is on a Westminster street, housing estate or TfL road. Match the permission to that location and give the team the route to the actual entrance, including any service door.
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.
