Check a Hitchin shared entrance with the keyholder

For a Hitchin flat collection, confirm the entrance used for furniture and who can open it throughout loading. Measure the narrowest doorway and stair turn.

If another resident controls a gate or shared passage, arrange access before the appointment. Do not rely on the collection address alone to communicate those responsibilities.

Send a usable access brief

  1. Photograph the narrowest doorway, gate or stair turn alongside the item dimensions.
  2. Describe the legal loading position and the complete carrying route.
  3. Confirm any preparation and the person responsible for opening shared or controlled access.

Check the destination too. A piece that leaves the old home easily may need different preparation or handling at the receiving property.

Check the local arrangements

For the Hitchin address, use North Herts parking permits as a starting point for the current street requirements. Confirm that the guidance covers the actual location and proposed use; it does not grant private-building access.
