What access details should I check for a removal in North Birmingham?
Follow the complete path from the intended vehicle position to the largest items. Measure door openings, stair turns and lifts, and confirm who controls shared entrances. The property type alone does not tell the team what will fit or where it can load.
Local arrangements to check
Birmingham grants dispensations at its discretion where the vehicle needs that location. Describe the proposed stop and any alternative rather than assuming entitlement. Check the address is within Birmingham City Council’s remit; neighbouring councils and private roads have their own arrangements. Read Birmingham parking suspensions and dispensations for the current details.
Apply this to your address
For a property with a drive, measure the route from the usable vehicle position, not just from the gate. Include steps, turns and any narrow side path. Tell the team which entrance the large furniture must use and whether you have authority to use a shared driveway.
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.
