How to plan stairs, closes, parking and bulky-item access. The best option depends on the item, the property and how quickly the space needs to be clear.
Plan the close
Count the flights, check the door entry and show turns that may make a sofa or wardrobe difficult.
Protect shared space
Shared walls, rails and floors need care. Tell neighbours or the factor if the job affects communal access.
Time the vehicle
Parking or loading space near the close can make a large difference to labour and time.

When a collection service is the easier choice
If you cannot lift the items, have tight access or need the space cleared on a set day, a crewed collection can save time. Send photos of the full load and route so the quote covers the work properly.
