Stairs & upper-floor moves: the Newcastle upon Tyne plan
For a Newcastle upon Tyne move, give the full postcode and identify the correct side of the Tyne where either address is near the river. A Quayside apartment needs its block, furniture entrance and lift arrangements, not just a landmark.
- Floor and number of flights: include the details for both ends of this move.
- Stair turns and landings: include the details for both ends of this move.
- Largest fixed item dimensions: include the details for both ends of this move.
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”.
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.
Resolve Tyne-side address and goods entrance
For a Jesmond or Heaton shared-house move, list the rooms holding your belongings and who will provide keys. Large items should be measured through the actual stair route; a short journey does not reduce carrying or dismantling work.
For this stairs & upper-floor moves request, explain any uncertainty about floor and number of flights before accepting a quote. The collection-ready time, vehicle access and recipient availability must work together; a short driving distance does not remove the handling work.
Before you confirm stairs & upper-floor moves
Send the full collection and delivery addresses, floor and number of flights and stair turns and landings, and photographs of any awkward access. Ask for a written scope covering the handling required at your Newcastle upon Tyne address.
Check the proposed supplier, price, vehicle or crew, relevant cover and any waiting arrangements. Do not release the goods until the booking and handover instructions have been agreed.
