Partick Removals
Dumbarton Road tenements, Gardner Street's slope and the Glasgow Harbour towers, moved by a crew that knows which closes take a sofa and which do not.
Partick is one of the busiest and most varied areas we cover. The core is tenements: red and blonde sandstone on Dumbarton Road, Hyndland Street, Purdon Street and Chancellor Street, most of them four storeys with no lift. Then there is Gardner Street, the steepest residential street in the city, where the van has to be chocked and the carry is uphill. And down at the river, Glasgow Harbour's tall blocks have lifts, concierges and car parks the van cannot enter.
Removals in Partick have to deal with Dumbarton Road, which is a bus route with limited kerb and a lot of shop deliveries, and with side streets that are permit-controlled during the day. Partick station and the interchange bring constant traffic to Merkland Street and the streets around the Kelvin Hall. We work out where the van goes before we work out anything else.
If you are looking for movers in Partick who can tell you before the day whether your wardrobe will make the turn on the top landing, ring Peter with the address and the floor. The Clyde Tunnel is at the end of Dumbarton Road, so wherever you are heading, the drive is short.
Moving in Partick: what we know
Dumbarton Road and the side streets
Dumbarton Road is the spine of Partick and it is never quiet: buses, shop deliveries and the traffic heading for the Clyde Tunnel. We do not sit a van on it for long. For a Dumbarton Road tenement we load from the side street, whether that is Hyndland Street, Purdon Street or Peel Street, and for a full flat we arrange a bay suspension on that side street through Glasgow City Council so the crew is not carrying two closes' worth.
Gardner Street
Gardner Street climbs so steeply from Dumbarton Road that it has become a local landmark. Moving in or out of a flat there means parking on the slope with the wheels turned in, loading with the ramp on the uphill side and carrying at an angle for the whole job. We have done it plenty of times and it is fine, but it takes longer than a level street and we allow for that honestly.
Glasgow Harbour
The riverside blocks at Meadowside Quay and along Castlebank Street are the opposite of a tenement: lifts, wide corridors, a concierge and a fob at every door. The catch is the car park height barrier, which no removal van clears, so we park at street level and trolley through the main lobby. We book the lift with the concierge and bring protection for the floors.
Out through the tunnel
The northern mouth of the Clyde Tunnel sits at Thornwood, at the western end of Partick, so a move to the Southside, Renfrew, Paisley or the airport is a matter of minutes once the van is shut. Eastwards, the Clydeside Expressway gets you to the city centre and the M8 just as quickly. Partick jobs are rarely priced on the driving.
