What access details should I check for a removal in South Glasgow?
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
The Scottish Government links to Glasgow’s LEZ boundary and vehicle checker. Check any city-centre part of the journey separately from the property entrance. Glasgow’s LEZ covers a defined city-centre area. Check the actual route and vehicle, not just the name of the collection area. Read Scottish Government Low Emission Zone guidance for the current instructions.
Apply this to your address
Where the move includes upper-floor items, record the floor, lift availability and the tightest stair turn. The street loading arrangement and any city-centre LEZ route check are separate from those building details. See Glasgow City Council services.
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.
