Check North Edinburgh lift openings and alternative routes
For a North Edinburgh removal using a lift, measure its doorway as well as its interior. A sofa or cabinet may fit the cabin dimensions but not the opening. Confirm any building appointment and describe the route from the loading point to the lift.
Assess furniture that cannot use the lift
Give the stair route and tightest turns for items needing an alternative. Request preparation where appropriate and explain pieces that must remain assembled. Check the receiving building independently, with entry contacts and keys available. Keep communal corridors usable and confirm public-road loading separately from private-building permission.
Local arrangements to check
Edinburgh describes a dispensation for loading on a single yellow line beyond thirty minutes. Confirm that this is the relevant restriction before applying. The correct arrangement depends on the exact Edinburgh street restriction; building access remains a separate permission. Read Edinburgh parking dispensations and suspensions for the current instructions.
Apply this to your address
For a managed development, obtain the loading entrance and lift window from management. That booking does not replace an Edinburgh street dispensation or suspension where one is required.
Before you confirm the move
- Measure the lift opening.
- Describe the stair alternative.
- Confirm appointments and entry contacts.
