Measure South Edinburgh shared stairs for rigid furniture

For a South Edinburgh removal involving shared stairs, identify the narrowest doorway and landing turn before booking. Give dimensions for furniture that must remain assembled and explain any preparation requested. The floor number alone does not describe the carrying work.

Connect internal measurements to the vehicle position

Include the carry and external steps from a usable loading point. Confirm who can open shared or managed entrances and keep those routes clear while packing. Check the receiving property separately, including lift-door dimensions where relevant. Public-road permission and private entry need independent confirmation.

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

If using a shared stair or garden entrance, measure the narrowest turn and note any steps outside. Identify whether the lawful loading place is a bay or yellow line before selecting Edinburgh’s application route.

Before you confirm the move

  1. Measure tight turns.
  2. Describe the complete carry.
  3. Confirm receiving access separately.
