💬 Booking Hourly Moving Services — How Long Will My Move Take?

Many customers ask how long their move will take when booking an hourly removals service. The truth is, there’s no exact formula — every move is unique and depends on several important factors.

Think of it like cooking: with the same ingredients, you can create many different dishes. In moving, the “ingredients” — such as your furniture, packing method, and property layout — all influence the total duration.

Below are the main factors that affect how long your move will take and how to plan ahead:

🏠 #1: The Volume of Furniture and Belongings

The more items you have, the longer the move will take. A higher volume of furniture or boxes naturally requires more time for loading, transport, and unloading.

💡 Pro Tip: Declutter before your move. Consider selling or donating items you no longer need — especially for long-distance moves. You’ll reduce transport costs and save time, often enough to replace those items later.

📦 #2: How Your Furniture and Belongings Are Packed

Efficient packing saves time. Using too many mixed-size boxes or irregular bags can make stacking inside the van more complicated and reduce space efficiency. Sometimes, this even requires a second trip.

💡 Pro Tip: Ask friends or check local online groups for used boxes and packing supplies — they’re often available for free and in good condition. Use sturdy, uniform boxes whenever possible.

🏢 #3: Property Access and Layout

The accessibility of your property can greatly affect the time required. Important details include:

• The number of floors or stairs

• Lift availability and size

• The walking distance from the door to the parking area

💡 Pro Tip: Record a short video of the walking path from your property to the van parking area. This helps our consultants estimate time and manpower accurately. Also, check with property management for parking or lift restrictions.

🔧 #4: Furniture Assembly and Disassembly

Some furniture items are simple to dismantle; others can be complex and time-consuming. For instance, a standard wardrobe might take 30–60 minutes, while a sliding-door model can take over 3 hours.

💡 Pro Tip: Let your removal consultant know in advance which items will need assembly or disassembly. Our trained technicians can handle all types of furniture safely and efficiently.

📦 #5: Moving to or from Storage

Moving into a storage facility can take longer than a standard home move. Narrow corridors, lifts, and limited unit space require extra care when organizing and stacking your belongings.

💡 Pro Tip: Visit your storage unit the day before to confirm access, codes, and location details. Label boxes you’ll need quick access to and tell your movers which ones should be placed near the front of your unit.
