What access details should I check for a removal in South East London?
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
Identify the bay or yellow-line restriction at the Croydon address. A permission for one stopping position should not be assumed to cover a different entrance. Croydon’s process covers the restrictions it controls; it is not a rule for all South East London addresses. Read Croydon parking suspensions and dispensations for the current instructions.
Apply this to your address
The Croydon process applies only to the relevant Croydon locations. Other South East London boroughs, TfL roads and private estates have their own arrangements; identify each end of the move separately. See TfL loading on red routes.
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.
