What access details should I check for a removal in West 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
Ealing asks for the exact bays and may request a photo or marked map. Match these to the entrance and vehicle rather than relying on the postal address alone. Ealing’s process is an example for Ealing-controlled bays; other West London boroughs and TfL have separate arrangements. Read Ealing parking suspension applications for the current instructions.
Apply this to your address
West London is not a single parking authority. Use Ealing’s process only for its controlled bays, and check the appropriate borough, TfL or private operator for each other address and loading entrance. 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.
