Preparing for Your Hot Tub Move: What to Consider

Collection and Delivery Access

Before your scheduled move, measure your spa’s dimensions and assess both the collection and delivery routes. Remember, your spa will be transported on its side using a Spa Dolly system, so sufficient vertical and horizontal clearance is essential.

In approximately 10% of cases, access limitations mean that a crane lift is the only safe option. If needed, we can arrange this service and ensure your spa is lifted into place without damage.

NOTE

Additional overhead clearance may be required if the spa needs to be rolled up/down an incline or navigated over steps. You may also need to temporarily remove gates, fence panels, or other obstructions to create a clear path to the installation site.

Pre-Move Access Checklist

Width Clearance

Minimum access width required: 32 inches (81 cm).
Check all gates, alleyways, and narrow passages.
Watch for protruding gas/electric meters, drainpipes, or fixed structures that may restrict movement.

Overhead Clearance

Ensure there are no low roof eaves, rain gutters, cables, or overhanging branches that could interfere with spa movement.
We require ample headroom to tilt and manoeuvre the spa safely on its side.

Pathway Conditions

Remove all loose items along the route—plant pots, bins, furniture, toys, etc.
Highlight any tight 90° turns in advance—the spa won’t bend!
Steps: A maximum of 6 consecutive steps is manageable. Anything beyond that may require extra manpower or lifting equipment.

Frequently Asked Questions

When do I need a crane?

A crane is only needed if pathways, gates, or steps block standard sideways movement—around 10% of jobs.

How long does a move take?

Most spa moves are completed within a day—from drain to recommission.

What Our Customers Say About Us

"Thank you so much Spafix. Will the engineer gave my hot tub a full service today. Outstanding service and Will gave a full run down of how it all works. Absolutely perfect!"

"The Spafix team - whether in the office or on the road all seem to be motivated to do the best they can. We’ve been using their contracted services for several years now and find their service levels well above average by comparison."

Spafix were recommended to us and they’ve been fantastic. Tub was installed earlier than we we thought, which was brilliant, and installation and set up by three friendly men was great. Can’t wait for it to heat up now. Thank you so much and I will definitely recommend you!

"Thank you Carl and team for delivering and installing our new hot tub! Delivery and installation guys were amazing from start to finish! And thank you to Carl for keeping us updated during these crazy busy times! We can’t wait to get in with a drink or two!"

"Very lucky to have Gary from Spafix come and open my hot tub after it was in hibernation due to my working away. Gary is always polite, friendly, gets on with the job and leaves my hot tub sparkling and garden tidy. Spafix have been suburb in their sales, customer service and servicing ever since I became a customer."
