    Your Canvey moving-day checklist

    A few things worth sorting before the day, and we will help with all of them at the survey:

    • Bridge and crossing timing: tell us your preferred load time so we can plan the run on and off the island around the traffic.

    • Parking: confirm where a vehicle can sit at both ends, and whether a permit or suspension is needed.

    • Lifts: for seafront and other flats, book the lift with the building management for your slot.

    • Narrow and plotland roads: flag any narrow, unmade or restricted street so we can plan a smaller shuttle vehicle.
