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 at the Newport address
For stairs & upper-floor moves involving Newport, give the full TF10 address and the exact entrance. Use Newport, Shropshire and the complete TF10 address; distinguish this Telford and Wrekin town from Newport in Wales, on the Isle of Wight or elsewhere. Identify the exact high-street, residential, campus, business or rural entrance and record timed controls, gates, carrying distance, loading access and safe turning space.
Check Telford & Wrekin Council's roadworks information, traffic regulation orders and any required temporary order process and all current street signs close to the booked date. A postcode does not establish permission, vehicle suitability or a safe handover point; agree private access with the property contact and arrange any required council permission separately.
- For stairs & upper-floor moves, prepare: floor and number of flights; stair turns and landings; largest fixed item dimensions.
- Name the actual Newport entrance and receiving contact, not merely a landmark, car park or town-centre reference.
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.
