Moving without an elevatorwithout stress.

A move on the fourth floor without an elevator can take twice as long as the same volume in a building with an elevator. Carriers walk stairs with heavy boxes, rest more often and need breaks to avoid injury. On Söder and in central Stockholm, many turn-of-the-century buildings have no elevators at all — so we plan with a third carrier and a longer moving day.

Protect walls and railings with cloth or blankets — partly to avoid damaging the building, partly to ease passage. Secure any light fixtures, remove loose mats in the entrance and unlock basement doors in advance.

If possible, disassemble beds, tables and bookshelves in advance. We're happy to handle assembly at the new address, but a flat-packed piece carries itself in the stairwell. For pianos, read our dedicated guide.

For buildings without an elevator we add a surcharge of about 10–25% depending on floor, number of boxes and heaviest piece of furniture. For moves to the ground floor or with a large elevator, the surcharge disappears entirely. We always quote a fixed price so you know the cost before moving day.
