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 Henley-in-Arden access
For a Henley-in-Arden move, say whether furniture leaves through the front door or a rear entrance and measure any tight turns along that route. If Prince Harry Road is used as a landmark, explain the actual distance to the property. Arrange keys and loading access together so the crew is not relying on an unconfirmed parking space.
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.
- Separate the Henley-in-Arden property entrance from Prince Harry Road visitor parking.
- 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 Henley-in-Arden 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. B95 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.
