Describe the staircase as a route
Note straight flights, tight turns, low ceilings and doors opening onto landings. Explain whether the stairs are shared and whether there are rules about keeping them clear. A sofa or wardrobe can be limited by a turn rather than the stair width itself. Include measurements where possible instead of relying on “standard stairs”.
Plan stairs & upper-floor moves around your Alcester access
For an Alcester house or flat move, describe the doorway and carrying route rather than using Bulls Head Yard or another car park as the collection address. Include any shared passage, upstairs room and furniture that needs dismantling. Agree a lawful stopping place before planning how many crew members are needed.
Confirm the carrying route and any access permission before fixing a vehicle plan. If you need road space, consult the council in advance and keep the application outcome with your move details.
- Name the property entrance; do not substitute a nearby Alcester car park postcode.
- For stairs & upper-floor moves, prepare: floor and number of flights; stair turns and landings; largest fixed item dimensions.
Agree the handling before arrival
Identify heavy furniture, fragile parts and items needing dismantling. Say if you need all carrying provided. The number of movers must follow the assessed job, not the phrase man and van. If an item cannot be handled through the normal route, specialist arrangements are not automatically available or included.
Useful access details
- The floor at collection and the floor at delivery.
- The largest furniture dimensions and any removable parts.
- Distance from the stairs to the agreed loading position.
Your Alcester enquiry checklist
- For stairs & upper-floor moves, have these details ready: floor and number of flights; stair turns and landings; largest fixed item dimensions.
- Give both full postcodes and identify the exact entrance and receiving point. B49 is a location reference, not the whole service area.
- Explain any unresolved permission, timing or handling question before accepting a quote.
- Check the quote’s supplier, price, inclusions and booking terms before confirming.
