A top-floor Yeadon flat, a narrow stair and a sloping kerb

In a converted house, the stair to the upper flat is often narrow with a turn at the top, which is why wardrobes and bed frames are taken apart in the room before they move. The street outside may slope, so the van is parked where the pavement is flattest and the carry is kept short. Anything taken apart is rebuilt in the new flat before the van leaves.

Over the shops around High Street and Ivegate, the loading stop has to be quick because the street is narrow and busy, so a start before the shops open helps a lot. A newer block usually has a shared entrance and sometimes a lift; ask the managing agent whether moves have to be booked, and where a van may stand while it is loaded.

What to sort before moving out of a Yeadon flat

Send photos of the stair or lift, the bigger furniture and the street outside, with both postcodes
Ask your landlord or the block's agent whether moves are limited to certain hours and whether the lift has to be reserved
For a flat above a High Street or Ivegate shop, plan a start before the shops open, while the kerb outside is free
In a converted stone house near Kirk Lane, measure the turn at the top of the stair before deciding whether a wardrobe travels whole
Beds and existing flat-pack are dismantled and reassembled; brand-new flat-pack stays in its box
Photograph the empty flat for your deposit once the last load is out

What moves the price of a Yeadon flat removal

Which floor you are on, stair or lift, how far the van has to stand from the door and the amount of furniture to dismantle make up the fixed price, with no travel surcharge. See how we quote for the full breakdown.
