Get a fixed price for Bayswater

Bayswater has more turnover than almost anywhere else in central London. The stucco terraces between Queensway and Paddington are subdivided into a lot of small flats, many of them let short term, and tenancies change hands constantly. That makes for frequent, modest, quick moves rather than big ones.

The buildings are tall and the flats are usually up. A second or third floor conversion with no lift is the standard job here, and the staircase decides how long it takes far more than the volume does.

The buildings in Bayswater

Five and six storey stucco terraces converted into multiple flats, often with more units per building than the frontage suggests. Communal staircases are narrow and turn at every half landing. Lower ground and basement flats are common. There are some purpose built blocks around Hyde Park Gardens and Bayswater Road with lifts and porters, and those run considerably faster.

Parking, loading and access in Bayswater

Bayswater sits outside the Congestion Charge zone. Bayswater Road is a red route along the park. Westminster controls the parking and the bays on Queensway, Westbourne Grove and the residential turnings are permit-heavy on weekdays. Queensway itself is busy and slow, so we load from the side streets where possible. For a full flat coming down from an upper floor, a suspension on the immediate street is often worth the cost.

Man and van in Bayswater: common questions

I am moving between short lets. Can you do it at short notice?

Often yes. Short let turnover in Bayswater is a lot of what we do and we keep some capacity for jobs booked within a few days. The earlier you ask the more choice of slot you get, but a same week booking is usually possible.

Third floor with a narrow staircase. How long will it take?

For a one bedroom flat, typically half a day with two people. The staircase sets the pace rather than the volume. If there are pieces that will not go round the half landing we would rather know in advance than take a door off on the day.

Can you hold my things between tenancies?

We can move them into storage and bring them back out. We do not store on our own premises, so we will either use a facility you have arranged or point you at one nearby. Both legs get priced together so you know the total.
