Somerset West Movers You Can Trust

Typically, when estimating the cost of a move, you multiply the projected time required to accomplish the move by the hourly rate charged by the moving company in question. Add the cost of other items, such as packing materials, travel time, and gratuities if you are working with movers, to get to the final estimate.

Moving costs depend on:

• Distance travelled
• Size of the load (volume)
• Number of movers needed
• Packing material required
• Access conditions (stairs, estate rules, lifts, long walking distances)
• Travel time

We provide accurate quotes based on a free assessment or your completed inventory list.

• • Use a moving checklist
  • Create a binder for important documents
  • Start packing non-essential rooms first
  • Label or colour-code boxes
  • Donate or discard unwanted items
  • Take photos of electronics before unplugging
  • Book your movers early – especially month-end

Yes – as long as alcohol is packaged securely in padded boxes.
We recommend avoiding glass food jars or perishables, as they may leak or break during transit.

Protect the wood with a protective covering to keep it from getting scratched or damaged, but avoid using plastic because it might generate moisture and swelling. Protect the wood using rags, furniture pads, and moving blankets to keep it from being exposed to sunlight, dampness, and dust.

In Short:

• Use blankets, furniture pads and soft coverings.
• Avoid plastic wrap directly on wood (it traps moisture).
• Our team wraps all wooden furniture securely before loading.

• Donate unwanted furniture, clothes and other household items to charities in the Somerset West area or social services at the Helderberg Hospital. Set collection dates for the stuff well in advance of moving day to avoid unnecessary feet and traffic when you load the truck.
• If there are some items that you are not sure you want to give away, place them in a short-term storage facility so you can decide at a later, less hectic time.
• Cleanup your closet from all unwanted and old clothing. Include items that are out of style or you have never worn and know you will not buy in future.

In Short:

Donate unused items to trusted local charities such as:

• Somerset West Night Shelter
• Imibala Trust
• Little Angels Home

You can also use short-term storage if you’re unsure what to keep.
