Hyndland Removals
Red sandstone tenements, wally closes and four flights of stairs, moved by a local crew that knows the permit hours on Hyndland Road and Clarence Drive.
Hyndland was built in one go around 1900 and it shows. Almost every street, from Hyndland Road and Clarence Drive down through Novar Drive, Falkland Street and Lauderdale Gardens, is a run of red sandstone tenements with tiled wally closes, bay windows and rooms big enough to swallow a three-piece suite. Removals in Hyndland are nearly always tenement moves, and nearly always from the second, third or top floor.
Those flats hold a lot of furniture. A three-bed on Queensborough Gardens or Polwarth Street can take a full Luton and a second run, and everything comes down a stone stair with a tight turn at each half landing. Parking is permit-controlled on most streets during the day, and Hyndland Road, Clarence Drive and Crow Road carry buses, so we sort the van's position first and the packing second.
If you want a Hyndland removal company that turns up with enough crew for the stairs and has already worked out where the van is going, call Peter. He will ask you the floor, the street and roughly what you have, and give you a firm price for the day.
Moving in Hyndland: what we know
Parking on Hyndland Road and the drives
Hyndland's streets are inside a controlled parking zone with permit-only bays for most of the working day, and the residential streets like Novar Drive and Dudley Drive are parked solid on both sides by evening. For a full flat we apply to Glasgow City Council for a bay suspension outside your close; for a smaller move, an early start usually gets us a space before the day fills up.
The closes themselves
Hyndland's closes are the tiled kind, often with the original tilework intact, and the stairs are stone with wooden handrails. The half landings are the pinch points: a wardrobe or a large sofa needs to be tipped and turned at each one. We pad the close walls, protect the tiles and take our time, because the factor will notice a chipped tile faster than the neighbours will.
Clyde Tunnel and the Switchback
From Hyndland you are a few minutes from the Clyde Tunnel via Crow Road and Balshagray Avenue, which puts the Southside and the airport within easy reach, and a short run from Anniesland Cross for the Switchback Road out to Bearsden and Milngavie. A lot of our Hyndland customers are moving to one of those two places, and the journey is short enough that a second run is never a problem.
Hyndland station and the schools
The area around Hyndland station, Hyndland Secondary and the primary on Fortrose Street gets very busy at school drop-off and pick-up, and Clarence Drive's shops keep the kerb full through the day. If your close is near the station or the school gates we will plan around those windows rather than fight them.
