Bristol · useful local detail
Arrange access around the move you are actually making. A driveway, a council bay and a managed apartment building need different checks.
Bristol allows applications for domestic removals and asks for three working days to process them. Its standard bay charge covers a vehicle up to five metres long.
Your next step Confirm the assigned vehicle’s space requirements before requesting bays.

Your next step Add access details for both ends, including any steep or stepped route to the entrance.
