Moving out of a flat above the Commercial Street shops

An early start makes the most of the loading time before the street closes to vans. Flats over shops are usually reached by a side or rear door and a steep, narrow stair, so the bed and any existing wardrobe come apart upstairs and go down in pieces. If the load runs past the signed time, the rest is carried to the van in the Marsh Street car park, which takes longer but keeps the day moving.

The other half of a flat move is the deposit. Stairwells and door frames get blankets before anything heavy comes through, and the flat is left empty for your checkout photos. A move from here might go up the A61 into Leeds, across to Oulton or Woodlesford for more room, or west towards Bradford. Leeds, Oulton and Woodlesford are close enough for a second trip if the boxes outnumber the estimate.

Getting a Rothwell flat ready for moving day

Check the signed loading times on Commercial Street and book the start inside them
Beds and existing flat-pack wardrobes are taken apart and rebuilt at the new flat
Tell us about the stairs at both ends, and whether the new block has a lift or a fob-controlled door
Moving on to Woodlesford or Oulton, say whether the new place has its own drive or a parking bay, so the van can stand close
Boxes should be packed and sealed before the van arrives, unless the packing service is booked

What sets the price of a Rothwell flat move

Flat moves are priced on the load, the stairs at each end and whether the job fits inside the Commercial Street loading time or needs a longer carry. The figure is agreed before the van sets off. See how we quote for the full breakdown.
