Moving Furniture Between Homes: What You Should Know

Furniture is often the largest and heaviest part of a household move. From sofas and beds to wardrobes and dining tables, transporting large furniture requires planning and proper handling.

Measure Large Furniture

Before moving day, measure large items and check doorways, staircases, lifts and hallways.

A sofa that fits comfortably in one home may be difficult to move through a narrow entrance at the new property.

Dismantle Where Appropriate

Some furniture is easier to transport when partially dismantled. Beds, tables and certain wardrobes may be separated into manageable components.

Keep screws, bolts and fittings together in labelled bags.

Protect Surfaces

Furniture should be protected against scratches and impacts during handling and transportation. Moving blankets, protective wrapping and straps can help keep items secure.

Tell Your Removalist About Heavy Items

If you have particularly heavy furniture, safes, large appliances or other difficult items, mention them when requesting a quote.

Providing this information early helps the moving team plan the labour and equipment required.

Think About Access

Tell your movers about:

• Stairs
• Narrow hallways
• Long driveways
• Difficult parking
• Lifts
• Tight entrances

These details can affect how the move is organised.
