What access details should I check for a removal in Central Nottingham?

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

Nottingham City has a separate restricted-access permit service. A parking arrangement should not be assumed to permit driving into an otherwise restricted street. Use Nottingham City’s services for city-managed locations; Nottinghamshire County arrangements outside the city are different. Read Nottingham City parking permit services for the current details.

Apply this to your address

For a move with a managed loading bay, confirm the route the vehicle is allowed to take to it as well as the building booking. Give the team entrance details, dimensions and any time window. If access requires a code or staff member, agree who will provide it on the day.

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.
