Shifting a house is one of the most tiring things a family does. Every cupboard has to be emptied, every glass wrapped, and the sofa somehow has to fit down the staircase. Then everything has to arrive in one piece at the new address.
Our house shifting service handles the whole move for you, from the first survey to placing the last bed in the new home. We work in every major city in Pakistan, for local moves across town and long-distance moves between cities.
What Our House Shifting Service Includes
Free Survey and Written Quote
We visit your home or review a video call, list the items and give you a written quote. Here is what to show the surveyor.
Professional Packing
Our packers bring cartons, paper, bubble wrap and stretch film, and pack room by room.
Kitchen and Glassware
Plates, glasses and crockery are wrapped individually and packed upright. See how we pack kitchen glass.
Furniture and Beds
Beds and wardrobes are dismantled where needed, with screws bagged and labelled. Sofas and tables are wrapped.
Electronics and Appliances
TVs, fridges and washing machines are wrapped and moved upright. Split ACs need a technician; read why a split AC is not furniture.
Loading and Transport
Goods are loaded in the right order and strapped in a covered vehicle sized for your home.
Unloading and Setup
At the new house we unload, place furniture in the rooms you choose, reassemble beds and remove packing waste.
Types of House Moves We Handle
Local Moves Within a City
Moving across town, such as from G-11 to Bahria Town in Islamabad or Gulberg to DHA in Lahore, usually done in one day.
City-to-City House Shifting
Moving between cities, such as Islamabad to Karachi or Lahore to Multan, with a dedicated truck.
Apartment and Flat Moves
High-rise moves need lift bookings and building permissions. If there is no lift, read how we move furniture without a lift.
Moving Abroad
For international moves, see our international relocation services.
How to Prepare for Shifting Day
- Book the move at least a week ahead, longer at month-end
- Arrange the society gate pass and defrost the fridge the night before (see the checklist)
- Keep jewellery, cash and documents with you
- Keep children and pets away from the loading path (why it matters)
- Pack one essentials bag for the first night
What Affects the Cost of House Shifting
Prices do sometimes change on the day for real reasons. Read why a moving quote can change so you know what is fair.
Size of the Home
A one-bedroom flat and a five-bedroom house need very different vehicles and crew sizes.
Distance
Local moves cost less than city-to-city moves, which include fuel, tolls and driver time.
Floors and Access
Stairs without a lift, narrow lanes and long carries add labour.
Packing Level
Full packing by our team costs more than packing yourself, but greatly reduces breakage.
