What access details matter for a move in Kelham Island?

Measure and describe the complete route from each item to the van. Do not rely on the property type alone: the narrowest doorway, a turn on the stairs, a lift opening or a locked shared entrance can change how an item is handled.

Local information to check

Inspect a second lawful loading option as well as the preferred position. Sheffield warns that suspension signs do not guarantee an empty bay; the alternative carry distance can affect the handling plan. Read Sheffield parking bay suspension guidance for the current details.

Make an access record for both addresses

  • Measure the largest items and the narrowest doors, corridors and stair turns; send photographs where useful.
  • Confirm lift dimensions and any booking rules with the building manager, including who provides access.
  • Record steps and the carrying distance from the approved loading position. Tell the booking team if an item cannot pass without preparation.

Arrange the street-side loading position. For the service and a personalised quote, see man and van in Kelham Island.
