House shifting is our service for moving a home: 1, 2 or 3 BHK flats, independent houses and larger family homes. We pack every room, move your furniture and appliances, and set things up at the new address so you can settle in quickly. Moves are handled from our branches in Sultanpur and Jaunpur, within your city, across Uttar Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh, Bihar and Jharkhand, and to and from any city in India.
How is a house move planned?
We list the items in each room, then plan packing material, the number of people and the vehicle size from that list.
A survey — in person or over a video call — helps catch things that are easy to forget, such as loft storage, things on the terrace, a second refrigerator or an inverter battery. You then get a quote that shows what is included, and a moving date and time are agreed.
1 BHK, 2 BHK and 3 BHK moves
The size of the home decides the amount of packing, the size of the team and the vehicle needed.
1 BHK
A smaller vehicle and team are usually enough; a local 1 BHK move can often be packed, moved and unloaded the same day.
2 BHK
More furniture and appliances mean a larger vehicle and extra hands for dismantling beds and wardrobes and for carrying appliances.
3 BHK and larger homes
Larger homes may be packed over a longer day or two, with a bigger vehicle and one person coordinating the team so every room is finished in order.
What happens on moving day?
The team packs room by room, labels each carton with its room, dismantles large furniture, loads everything securely and then reverses the process at your new home.
Kitchens and fragile items take the most time, so they are usually packed first. Beds and wardrobes are dismantled and their fittings kept together. Before the vehicle leaves, walk through the house with the team to make sure nothing is left behind in cupboards, lofts or on the balcony.
At the new home, cartons go to the rooms written on them and furniture is reassembled. If you have a floor plan in mind, tell the team where the big pieces should go before they are carried in.
A checklist for the week before
- Use up groceries and frozen food so less has to be packed.
- Arrange to disconnect the gas, internet and DTH, and to reconnect them at the new home.
- Keep a bag of essentials for the first night: clothes, toiletries, medicines, chargers and important papers.
- Take photos of how TVs, computers and other electronics are wired, so they are easy to set up again.
- Tell your society and the new building's management the moving date.
Moving a car or bike too?
A car or two-wheeler can be moved together with your household goods through our car transport service, so both reach the new city around the same time. If you only need help with carrying and loading, see loading and unloading.
What affects the cost
House shifting prices depend on the size of the home and the number of items, the distance, the floors and lift access at both buildings, the packing needed for fragile or valuable items, and the moving date — month-ends, weekends and festival periods are the busiest.
