What access details should I check for a removal in Salford And Trafford?

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

Salford’s dispensation is location-specific. Confirm the route from that stop to the property and do not substitute a different restricted space without checking. Salford has its own process; Manchester City Council permission does not cover a Salford street. Read Salford parking dispensations for the current instructions.

Apply this to your address

Salford and Trafford have different parking services. Check each address with its own council; a Salford dispensation or a Trafford resident permit should not be assumed to cover both ends or reserve a space. See Trafford parking permit terms.

Make an access record for both addresses

  1. Record the lawful stopping position, carrying distance, steps and entrance used.
  2. Measure awkward items against the narrowest door, corridor, stair turn or lift opening.
  3. 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.
