Flat removals in Scotland

Start with the flat size, then edit the contents

A studio or bedroom-size option starts an inventory; it does not replace checking what is moving. Remove landlord-owned furniture that stays in a furnished flat and add the belongings you are taking. Include boxes, bags, desks and stored items alongside the main furniture.

The size refers to the single load travelling between addresses. You do not need a second bedroom count for the destination. If a new flat is smaller, change the inventory to show what you will actually take rather than assuming the property sizes explain the difference.

• Studio and bedroom-size inventory starting points
• Editable item quantities for furnished and unfurnished moves
• Separate pickup and dropoff access details

Check the usable route through the building

Record the actual floor for each property and whether a suitable lift can be used. A flat number alone is not an access description. Check shared doors, stair widths, tight landings and the dimensions of the lift opening and interior against the furniture that needs to pass through them.

Measure the destination route as well as the collection route. A wardrobe or sofa that leaves one flat easily may not turn through the next building’s landing. Contact the team before booking when a fit or handling question remains unresolved, and describe narrow access accurately in the form.

Plan stopping, entry and collection arrangements

Check how far belongings must be carried between each entrance and a legal stopping place. Include the relevant carry distance and parking or permit-zone details in the access questions. Confirm restrictions with the building contact or appropriate authority; do not assume a town-wide rule applies to your street.

Arrange keys, building entry and any shared-lift or loading arrangements before the move. For a nearby flat removal, the drive may be short while the access tasks still take planning. Make sure the receiving property can be accessed during the selected time window.

Compare prices after the flat details are complete

The booking uses the inventory, route, access at both addresses and selected extras to show eligible dates and prices. Packing help, assembly and extra helpers are choices to review, not automatic parts of every flat move. A studio example with ground-floor access is not a price promise for an upstairs two-bedroom move.

For only a few belongings, compare man and van; for one sofa, use the sofa checklist. A flat move that needs a ferry crossing is quoted individually, and uncertain routes or unusually large jobs need review. Keep the details accurate before payment so the chosen price describes the move you are planning.
