Why labour time changes so quickly here

In North Glasgow, the job length can shift sharply between two properties of similar size because the access route is rarely identical. A first-floor flat with a clean stopping position behaves very differently from a tenement with several turns, a controlled bay and a longer walk from the legal loading point.

The local details that push a quote upward

  • Longer carries created by variable kerbside space, with some wider estate roads but awkward stopping near busy local centres
  • Extra furniture handling inside ex-local-authority houses, cottage flats, maisonettes and practical suburban semis
  • Delays caused by longer estate roads, cul-de-sacs and hilly approaches in places
  • Crew size increasing where the stair route is slow or awkward
