Man and Van in Glasgow City Centre

Our vehicles meet the zone rules, so a central move is never held up by the LEZ itself. What takes local knowledge is the loading: which side streets off the grid you can stop on, where the bays sit, and how long you realistically have before a warden comes round. We plan that per address so the load runs without a ticket.

For office jobs we lean towards evenings and weekends, when the streets around George Square are quieter and the goods lifts are sitting free.

Much of the centre's housing is flats made from former commercial buildings, which brings tight entrances, worn stairs and lifts that were never built with a three-seater in mind. We send the right number of hands and take pieces apart where a landing off Ingram Street or Hope Street will not turn them, so nothing ends up wedged halfway up.
