Flat Removals in Batley

Stairs, street doors and shared halls: flat moves in Batley

A flat above a Commercial Street shop is reached by a street door and a straight flight, sometimes with a turn at the top. There is no back yard to load from, so bulky items come down first while the pavement is quiet and the boxes follow. The nearest legal stopping place decides how long the carry is, which is why a photo of the street outside is as useful as one of the stairs.

Converted buildings often have original staircases that turn on a half-landing and are narrower than modern furniture. A wardrobe or a corner sofa that went up in pieces will need to come down the same way. Beds and existing flat-pack are taken apart and rebuilt at the new place, and anything doubtful is measured against the turn before the day rather than on it.

Getting ready for a Batley flat move

• Photograph the staircase from the bottom and from the top landing, and measure the widest item
• If there is a managing agent, ask about any rules for moving days or protecting the hallway
• In a divided terrace at Batley Carr, tell whoever shares the front hall which morning it will be busy
• Over a Commercial Street shop, say whether the flat has its own street door or shares the shop's entrance
• Have boxes packed and sealed before the van arrives; a one-bed flat usually fits in one load
