Limited access for removal truck

Question

What happens if access is limited outside my home when I move? Is this a problem for removal companies and trucks?

Daniel · Answer

There is a possible permit you can obtain like for instance if you wanted a skip outside it would need a permit and traffic management this is available at your local council, but in past experience has a 4 man team it should only obstruct for 3-5 hours and it’s a normal thing when some one move for a over size vehicle outside and you are leave so I wouldn’t worry too much. Hope this helps

The company who foes the job will have no option but carry the furniture to the vehicle unless certain obstructions have been put in place after the furniture was put inside the property they will be OK they might charge accordingly if the access is difficult

For me personally I would check it out before the job and let you know.  I guess it depends on what type of limited access it is.  Small lane. Rough ground.  No where to park.

If access is limited outside your home when you move, it can be a challenge for removal companies and their trucks. Depending on the specifics of the access limitations, it may be difficult or impossible for the removal truck to get close enough to your home to load and unload your belongings.

If you have limited access for the removal truck, it's important to let the removal company know in advance. This will allow them to plan for the limitations and come up with a solution to ensure that your move can still be completed smoothly and efficiently.

Possible solutions for limited access may include:

Using a smaller truck: If the removal truck cannot fit down your street or driveway, the company may be able to use a smaller truck to transport your belongings.

Hand carrying items: If the removal truck cannot get close to your home, the company may need to hand carry your belongings from the truck to your home. This can be more time-consuming and may incur additional fees.

It's important to note that limited access may generate additional costs, as it may require the removal company to use specialized equipment or spend more time and effort to complete the move. However, with careful planning and the right solutions, it is usually possible to complete the move successfully.

Yes because it is always better to be able to get in and out of the property without issues due to the length of time spent there when the removal is in motion
