Stair-only flats are one of the few jobs where crew size changes the total cost downwards — more hands means far fewer trips per person.
Getting the crew size right
Two movers on a third-floor stair-only flat spend most of the day walking. Three usually finish quicker and cost less in total, which is why we recommend it rather than quoting the smaller crew to look cheaper.
Protecting communal areas
- Blankets and corner protection on shared stairwells.
- Propping doors safely without breaching fire regulations.
- Keeping the entrance clear for other residents throughout.
Before the day
- Confirm whether entry needs a fob, a code or a concierge.
- Check any building rules on move times.
- Dismantle beds and large wardrobes the night before if you can.
