Flat Removals in Selby

Loading a Selby flat when the street will not take the van

Flats in the old centre sit above the shops on Gowthorpe, Micklegate and Finkle Street, reached by a side door and a steep inside stair. Gowthorpe carries the A19, Micklegate is one way and Finkle Street is a narrow one-way living street, so the van rarely stops at the door itself. It waits on the nearest road that allows it or in a council car park such as Back Micklegate or Audus Street, and boxes go down the stairs and along the pavement on a trolley.

Newer flats are simpler. Court House, the former magistrates court on New Lane, holds sixteen apartments, and Portholme House is a newer block off Portholme Road beside the Tesco. A lift, where there is one, changes the timing completely, so check it is working before the day. In 2026 the station gateway works closed two car parks near the station, the business centre one for good, so a van may have to stop a little further off there than it once could.

Before a Selby flat move

• Tell us the floor, whether there is a lift and how the stair turns, because a sofa may need its feet off to get round
• If the flat is round Market Place, pick a day other than Monday, when the market trades there
• Ask your managing agent whether the van may stand in a private bay or courtyard behind the block
• Book the lift at Court House or a similar block for the morning of the move where the building needs it
• Have boxes sealed and stacked inside the door so the carry down starts the moment the van arrives

Stairs, lifts and kerbs: pricing a Selby flat

The floor, the stairs or lift and how far the van stands from the door set the time for a flat, and the one price agreed before the drive covers the miles from Bradford too. See how we quote for the full breakdown.
