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 Whitnash access
For Whitnash removals, use the full CV31 address and name Whitnash explicitly so nearby addresses are not confused. Describe any shared drive, steps or restricted turning space, and measure large furniture against the internal route. If a community building is involved, agree keyholder access and the room-to-vehicle carrying route with its operator.
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.
- Keep Whitnash and the full CV31 address in the booking details; for shared venues name the actual receiving contact.
- 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 Whitnash 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. CV31 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.
