Check the shared-path constraint in East Bristol

A rear path serving several properties may look like a convenient furniture route, but its width, turns and access arrangements need checking. Walk the route and identify the narrowest point. Ask the relevant property contact about permission before planning to use gates or land belonging to another occupier.

Match each large item to a route

Measure bulky furniture in its travelling condition and check doors, steps and passage turns. If an item will use a different entrance from the boxes, explain both routes to the removal company. Confirm any preparation needed and who performs it. A route suitable for cartons may be unsuitable for a rigid table or cabinet.

Keep access available during handling

Do not fill a shared passage with the entire load while waiting for collection. Keep belongings inside until the team is ready and preserve a safe route for neighbours. If the planned path cannot be used, notify the booking team about the alternative carry before the move begins.
