Removals in Finnieston
From Argyle Street tenements to the new blocks around the SEC and Lancefield Quay, we move Finnieston flats around event days, bus lanes and permit bays.
Finnieston has changed faster than almost anywhere in Glasgow. The tenement rows on Argyle Street, Kelvinhaugh Street and Corunna Street are still there, but they now share the postcode with new-build blocks along the Clyde at Lancefield Quay, around Minerva Street and behind the SEC. Our removals in Finnieston cover both, and the two kinds of building need very different plans.
The tenement side is stairs and permits. Three flights up on Argyle Street with no lift is normal, and the streets north of Argyle Street sit inside a controlled parking zone, so we time arrivals for when a bay is likely to be free or arrange a suspension. The new-build side is lifts, fobs and underground car parks with height barriers that our vans will not fit under, which means loading from the street outside.
Then there is the OVO Hydro. On a concert night Finnieston Street and Argyle Street lock solid from late afternoon, so as a Finnieston removal company we check the events calendar before we quote a date. Ring Peter, tell him the street and the floor, and he will price it properly.
Moving in Finnieston: what we know
Event days at the Hydro and SEC
When the Hydro has a concert, the roads from Finnieston Street down to the Clydeside Expressway fill from about 4pm and the surrounding streets become permit-only for the evening. We check the SEC calendar for your date, and if there is a big event we start early and aim to be loaded and away by lunchtime. A move planned around that is easy; one that ignores it is a long night.
Argyle Street tenements
The four-storey tenements between Kelvingrove and Anderston Cross have decent closes but long stairs, and the top-floor flats often have the best views and the heaviest wardrobes. Argyle Street carries a bus lane, so we cannot sit on it for long. For those flats we load from Corunna Street, Radnor Street or Kelvinhaugh Street and carry through the close.
New builds by the river
The blocks at Lancefield Quay, Minerva Street and around Stobcross have lifts, but the car parks are height-limited and the lifts are small. We usually park on the street, wheel everything to the lift on trolleys and protect the lobby floor. Most factors want the move booked with them in advance, and we will handle that call.
Quick out, quick in
Finnieston sits right next to the Clydeside Expressway and the Kingston Bridge, so once the van is loaded you are ten minutes from the Southside, the M8 west or the M74. We also cover the short hops within the area, such as a move from an Argyle Street tenement to a new flat on Lancefield Quay, which we can often do in a single trip.
