Flat Removals in Castleford

One and two-bed flat moves around Castleford

Flats above the shops on and around Carlton Street are handy for town but have no parking at the door, and market days make the street busier. The outdoor market does not trade on Tuesday, Wednesday or Sunday, so those days are quieter for a town-centre flat. Low-rise estate blocks usually have a communal stair with parking close by, which makes for a straightforward carry. Parking for loading is usually on the nearest side street, and the carry distance is part of the quote.

Newer blocks are often quick to load but may have barrier-controlled car parks or allocated bays. The van is about 2.5m tall and will not go under a height barrier of around 2.1m, so check before the day and it can wait on the street instead. Beds and existing flat-pack are taken apart and rebuilt, and everything is wrapped in blankets and strapped. Bin rooms and shared hallways are kept clear as the load goes out.

Keys, lifts and stair turns before a Castleford flat move

• Check the tenancy end time and how the keys are handed back
• If your Airedale or Ferry Fryston flat is a WDH tenancy, ask WDH where a van may wait and how the keys go back
• Above a Carlton Street shop, pick a Tuesday, a Wednesday afternoon or a Sunday, when the outdoor market stalls are not out
• Ask the managing agent of a newer block about lift booking and any height barrier on the car park
• Measure the stair width at the tightest turn and send a photo
• Pack into boxes that can be carried safely down a communal stair
