A note on the name: Maskavas Forstate is a historic name for a part of Riga. In the modern official division of districts this area falls mainly within Latgale, so write the address on the form however you're used to — we understand both.
Pre-war timber and masonry houses with courtyard wings
What's characteristic here is pre-war timber and masonry houses, courtyard wings, and commercial premises near the market and the railway. Properties on the same street can be very different, and we don't assume a particular building's age, structure or technical condition in advance. Still, in pre-war stock a few conditions tend to repeat:
In timber buildings the stairs are often narrow and steep, with a tight turn on the half-landing. The finishes — banisters, wall panels, door openings — tend to be fragile, so we carry slowly and cover anywhere the furniture might touch.
In a pre-war house you generally won't find a lift at all, so we take the stairs from any floor. That determines how many people we plan for and whether a wardrobe is better taken apart in the room.
In courtyard stock the flat or store room can be in the second or third wing, reached through a narrow arch. The route to the van is then longer than it looks from the street.
Old belongings here tend to sit in a basement or a utility room. After years in a damp place a mattress or a sofa comes out heavier and dirtier than it went in — we allow for that in the time and the wrapping.
That is why the form asks for the floor, whether there is a lift, and the type of room the furniture has to come out of.
Access near the market and the railway
Maskavas iela and the proximity of the Central Station and the market give good but intense access. In practice that means dense traffic and occupied parking, especially during market hours. Near the railway there are diversions in places, so the van can't always be parked right by the entrance.
If the courtyard gates are locked, if a code is needed, or if the approach only works from one side, write it in the notes. In that case we plan for a longer carry by hand.
What we remove
We take household and office furniture in any condition. Mostly it's sofa removal or mattress removal; we also take beds, wardrobes, tables, chairs and shelving. If a piece won't go down the narrow timber stairwell whole, we dismantle it. When all the rooms have to be emptied, that is apartment clearance. The other jobs are listed in the services section.
