Choose a complete moving package or combine the services that fit your relocation. Each quote is prepared around the size of the move, access, distance, timing, packing needs and any special items. We will discuss the most suitable moving transport option for the route, volume, access requirements, delivery timing and available capacity.
Household Movers
Our furniture removal service covers household and selected business moves within Christchurch, throughout Canterbury and to destinations across New Zealand.
House & Section Cleaning

Use our Christchurch storage service for short-term or long-term storage when settlement dates, renovations, travel or staged moves leave a gap between properties.

Ask about moving insurance options for transit and storage, including the information, declared values, exclusions and excesses that may apply.

Frequently Asked Questions
Book as early as you can, particularly for Fridays, month-end dates, school holidays and long-distance moves. If your dates are not final, contact us with the likely window so we can discuss availability and the information needed to confirm the booking.
A quote normally considers the volume and type of belongings, travel distance, access at each address, the number of movers required, packing, storage, stairs, lifts, long carries and special items. Clear information, photographs or an onsite assessment can help us prepare an accurate scope.
Dangerous, flammable, explosive, illegal or inadequately contained items are generally excluded. Gas cylinders, fuels, chemicals, firearms, high-value collections, plants and perishable goods should be discussed before the move so the correct requirements can be confirmed.
Tell us about stairs, lifts, narrow driveways, parking restrictions, shared accessways, rural tracks, height limits and the distance from the loading point to the door. Access details affect vehicle selection, staffing, timing and pricing.
Keep medicines, identity documents, keys, chargers, valuables, essential clothing, pet supplies and anything needed immediately at the new property with you. Label these items clearly so they are not loaded by mistake.
