Flat Removals in Haworth

Upstairs flats in old Haworth stone buildings

A flat above a shop often has its own street door and a straight, steep staircase leading up from it, sometimes with a low beam at the top. Big pieces come down on end, so a two-seater sofa is usually fine and a three-seater may need its feet off and a careful angle. Wardrobes and bed frames come apart at the top and go back together at the new address. Because the flat door opens straight onto the street, the van position and the carry are planned before the day.

A one-bed flat over a Haworth shop or in a split terrace fits in a long wheelbase van with space left over, so it is one trip and one fixed price. The time goes on stairs and on walking the load to the van, not on the drive. Tenants moving out should check the inventory date with the landlord and book the van for the morning before it, so there is time to clean after the rooms are empty.

Planning a first or second floor flat move in Haworth

• Photograph the staircase from the bottom and the top, including any low beam, which flats over the old Main Street shops can have
• Say whether the flat's street door is on Main Street or a side street, since that decides which car park the van waits in
• Beds and existing flat-pack wardrobes are dismantled and reassembled at the new flat where needed
• Weekday mornings avoid the visitor traffic that fills the village car parks on busy weekends
• A one-bed flat usually goes in one load; a two-bed flat depends on the furniture, so send a list

What changes the price of a Haworth flat move

The number of floors, the width of the stairs and the walk from the street door to the van decide the time more than the distance does. You get one fixed price before we set off, with loading and unloading included. See how we quote for the full breakdown.
