Check where a delivery vehicle can stop
Describe road width, low branches, gates, gradients and whether the vehicle can turn or leave safely. Add any parking restrictions or need to arrange access with neighbours or a property manager.
A postcode identifies the area but cannot describe your driveway. Include instructions for finding the actual entrance and a suitable place to unload.
Plan freight to a home address at your Churchdown address
For Churchdown pallets or heavy goods, describe the surface and working space at the exact goods entrance. Confirm tail-lift or forklift requirements at collection and delivery separately.
Measure goods as they will travel. Loading and unloading are separate arrangements; confirm the people, equipment and space at both addresses.
- For freight to a home address, prepare: residential access; firm level unloading area; tail-lift and handling request.
- Distinguish Brookfield, St John’s and the exact premises. Confirm whether the vehicle may use a drive, managed entrance or agreed street position and who can authorise it.
Kerbside and indoor delivery are different
Pallet freight may be handed over outside at an agreed accessible point. A pallet truck needs a suitable surface; gravel, soft ground, steps and slopes can prevent normal handling.
Ask explicitly if you need carrying into a building or placement beyond the unloading point. Do not assume this is included. For household carrying and removals, follow the Movivio link.
