Centre flats on Market Street against flats on the estates
Market Street carries the B6273 through the middle in one-way lanes, with the bus station, the library and the post office along it, so a flat on it cannot be loaded from the carriageway. The van waits on a side street such as Bullenshaw Road, and the boxes go on a trolley for the last stretch. A rear door into a yard makes the carry shorter, so mention one if it is there.
Away from the centre the carry is the easier part. A flat on one of the courts or closes usually has the van at the kerb or in a shared car park, and the work is the communal stair. Measure the tightest turn on it before deciding whether the sofa comes too. For an assisted-living flat such as Ashfield House on Southmoor Road, agree the time with the staff so the entrance is clear.
Stairs, side streets and keys for a Hemsworth flat
- Measure the stair width at its tightest turn and send a photo of it
- For a centre flat, name the side street or yard where the van can wait
- Check whether a shared car park has a height barrier, as the van is about 2.5m tall
- Confirm the time keys are handed back to the landlord or agent
- Pack into boxes one person can carry safely down a communal stair

Flat & Apartment Removals in Hemsworth: your questions
Where does the van park for a flat on Market Street?
On a side street nearby, such as Bullenshaw Road. Market Street runs as one-way lanes with buses using the station on it, so the carry is done on a trolley from round the corner.
Does a one-bed flat fit in one load?
Usually. The van takes 3.4m by 1.3m by 1.7m, which holds a one-bed flat or a lightly furnished two-bed. Photos of the rooms confirm it before you book.
Can you move someone into an assisted-living flat?
Yes. Agree the day and time with the scheme first, measure the new rooms, and the furniture is carried in and beds rebuilt on arrival.
