Check a Didsbury apartment's actual service entrance
For a managed block or converted flat, ask which door and loading position can be used. Confirm fob access and any lift requirement with the building contact. The visitor entrance may be unsuitable for large furniture, and an available lift may still have a doorway smaller than the travelling item.
Measure beyond the lift cabin
Check the corridor, stair fallback and flat door as well as the lift interior. Describe the largest furniture in its prepared condition and explain any pieces that must use another route. Tell the man and van team about the floor and required loading help. Avoid classifying the whole job as easy lift access without checking these points.
Arrange access for the complete window
Keep an authorised contact available to open controlled doors and discuss any timed building slot before booking. Confirm private permissions separately from street restrictions. If the designated entrance becomes unavailable, report the alternative rather than expecting the team to use an unauthorised doorway.
