01

Look beyond the postcode

A postcode helps plan the journey but cannot show every step, incline or tight turning space. Describe the route from the vehicle to your door and through the property. If you are unsure what information to provide, ask the team about photographs or a survey.

Moving to, from or within Lincoln

Tell us whether the move is local or involves a longer journey elsewhere in the UK. Include the amount to move, who will pack and whether larger furniture needs dismantling. Key release and access at the destination should be part of the conversation as well.

03

Make room between dates

If your Lincoln property is not ready, discuss furniture storage at our Newark facility and collection or redelivery. Your Lincoln removal and storage arrangements are coordinated from Newark. You will speak to the same Newark team about the combined arrangements.

04

Planning a move around uphill Lincoln

Lincoln’s Cathedral Quarter includes Steep Hill, Bailgate and Castle Square. The slopes and historic streets make it especially useful to describe the actual carrying route, not just give a postcode. For a property in this area, send photographs of the entrance, steps and the nearest practical loading point. We can then discuss how the furniture will get between the vehicle and your door. Check any street restrictions before making arrangements; a short walk to a property can still be a demanding furniture carry.

05

Lincoln homes, surrounding villages and Newark storage

Tell us whether your address is in central Lincoln or a surrounding community such as North Hykeham, Nettleham or Washingborough. Include the full address at both ends, especially if the property is reached through a shared entrance or an unadopted access road. Our storage is in Newark, so a Lincoln move involving storage needs a collection journey and a later delivery agreed as part of the plan. Keep essentials separate if you will be staying elsewhere between those dates.
