What access details matter for a man and van move in Salford?
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
Salford’s dispensation is location-specific. Confirm the route from that stop to the property and do not substitute a different restricted space without checking. Salford has its own process; Manchester City Council permission does not cover a Salford street. Read Salford parking dispensations for the current instructions.
Apply this to your address
Use Salford’s service for the street even when the journey is described as a Manchester move. If access is through a managed building, confirm the loading entrance and lift booking independently.
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.
