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 Kingswinford access
For a Kingswinford house or room move, say whether the van can use a driveway, must stop on the street or needs another agreed position. If someone proposes waiting at Manor Park or Penzer Street, keep that separate from the furniture-carrying route. Measure gate widths and steps, list garage or garden items and explain any time when the driveway must remain clear.
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.
- Treat Manor Park and Penzer Street as different parking locations; confirm where the Kingswinford job actually loads.
- 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 Kingswinford enquiry checklist
