Apartment Movers for Lifts, Stairs and Tight Access

Apartment moves live or die on access. We book the service lift, protect the corridors, plan the loading dock window with building management, and send a crew sized to beat the clock — with no surcharge for stairs or long carries.

What's included with apartment movers

Building liaison

We contact the building manager and confirm the lift booking window ahead of move day, so there is no delay when the truck arrives.

Corridor and lift protection

Lift blankets, corner guards and floor runners go up before the first carton moves, so you get your bond back and the building stays happy.

Right-sized trucks

Our 10m³ and 20m³ trucks fit basement carparks and one-way inner-city streets where a full pantech cannot go.

Tight-window moves

Many buildings only allow moves between set hours. We plan the load order so the whole job fits inside your slot.

Apartment Movers FAQs

Do you charge extra for stairs or a lift?

No. Stairs, lifts and long carries are covered by your fixed price. Tell us about them up front so we quote the right crew size.

Can you move an apartment with no lift?

Yes. We regularly carry furniture up and down three or four flights. For heavy items we bring stair rollers and skid boards.

Do you charge a deposit to book?

No. There is no deposit and no obligation — you pay after the move, not before.

How long does an apartment move take?

A studio or one-bedroom usually takes 3–4 hours door to door. Two-bedroom apartments with lift access typically run 4–6 hours.
