Include outdoor and shared access in South Birmingham removals

For a South Birmingham removal, check the spaces between the rooms and the loading point. Shared entrances, garden routes, gates and changes of level should be described with the inventory so the selected help matches the work.

Confirm the route is available for the moving window

Ask the responsible person about shared or private access and identify any entry-time restrictions. Check surfaces and steps for the planned carrying route. If the preferred vehicle position is unavailable, report the alternative and its carrying distance. Repeat the assessment at delivery, where different access can require a different handling arrangement.

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 instructions.

Apply this to your address

If the intended stop is outside Birmingham’s central controlled zone, check the correct application route early. Describe any drive, steps or side entrance and do not assume the central-zone arrangement applies.

Before you confirm the move

  1. Check gates and outside steps.
  2. Confirm shared-access permission.
  3. Describe the alternative loading route.
