Ten-storey lifts, shop stairs and split townhouses in Keighley

Ebor Court, Quebec House and North Beck House at Holycroft are ten storeys each, and Kennedy House in Ingrow is twelve, so a move there runs on the lift. Ask the housing office whether it can be kept for removals and how big the car is, because a sofa that stands on end inside saves a long carry down the stairs. Boxes wait by the flat door, furniture is wrapped inside the flat, and each trip down goes full.

The town centre is different. Low Street and the Town Square are pedestrian, so a flat above a shop there is loaded from the nearest street the van can use, and a flat on Cavendish Street or North Street is usually reached by its own door beside the shopfront and a staircase straight up. The Skipton Road townhouses, now mostly flats and bedsits, have shared halls, so let the other tenants know the date.

Getting a Keighley flat ready for moving day

In a Holycroft or Ingrow tower block, ask whether the lift can be held, and measure its door and depth
For a flat above a Cavendish Street or Low Street shop, say which back lane or side street is nearest the door
Give the floor at both ends and whether each building has a working lift
Beds and existing flat-pack wardrobes are taken apart in the old flat and rebuilt in the new one
A one-bed flat normally fits in one Transit LWB load with room to spare

The floor at each end, whether there is a lift, the walk from the van and the size of the load set the price, and nothing is added for coming over from Bradford. See how we quote for the full breakdown.
