Example: how we price a flat move
Take a three-bedroom flat on the third floor with a lift, moving to a fifth-floor flat with a lift within Riyadh. Pricing follows four steps: volume to set the vehicle, the pieces needing dismantling to set the crew, packing materials, then the conditions at both sites.
| Item | Details | Effect |
|---|---|---|
| Volume | About 22–25 m³ | A 6-metre closed dyna |
| Dismantling/assembly | 3 bedrooms, 2 wardrobes and a dining set | 4 technicians |
| Packing | Full for glass, appliances and sofas | Medium materials |
| Floors | Lifts at both ends | No extra charge |
| Distance | Within Riyadh | Included in the base price |
This example is illustrative; the real price is sent after a survey or photos, itemised, and doesn’t change on the day unless unlisted items are added.

Moving in blocks, towers and compounds
🛗 Lift booking
We coordinate with building management and protect the lift walls and floor first.
🪜 Floors without a lift
Crew size set by floor, with any extra cost stated in advance.
🏗️ External hoist
For pieces that won’t fit the stairs or lift, such as large sofas and wardrobes.
🚧 Gated compounds
Crew and dyna access permits arranged with security beforehand.
🚪 Narrow corridors
Doors or large pieces removed when needed, then refitted.
🅿️ Dyna position
A parking spot close to the entrance saves hours of carrying.
Which vehicle fits your household?
| Vehicle | Suits | Capacity | When we choose it |
|---|---|---|---|
| Pickup (wanet) | One room or appliances | About 3 m³ | Quick trips and narrow streets |
| 4-metre closed dyna | Studio or one-bedroom flat | 10–14 m³ | Districts with limited parking |
| 6-metre closed dyna | Two- to three-bedroom flat | 20–26 m³ | The most requested option in Riyadh |
| Closed lorry | Large flat or small villa | 32–40 m³ | Intercity moves |
| Trailer or two trucks | Large villa or office | 50 m³ and over | Big moves in one go |
The right vehicle saves you a second trip or paying for space you don’t use, so we size the move from photos before confirming, and use a smaller dyna in old districts and narrow streets.
Packing by the material of each piece
🛋️ Sofas and majlis
A fabric cover to protect the upholstery, then stretch film against dust, and padding on wooden legs.
🚪 Wardrobes and bedrooms
Dismantled into panels, each panel numbered, screws bagged by room.
🪞 Glass and mirrors
Thick foam and cardboard corners, carried upright, never flat.
🧊 Fridges and washers
Emptied and dried, doors secured, moving blankets and straps.
🍽️ Kitchenware
Paper around every piece, divided boxes labelled with contents.
📺 Screens and devices
A size-matched carton; cable connections photographed first.
💡 Chandeliers and antiques
Padded or wooden crates, loaded last.
🧸 Children’s rooms
Colour-coded screw bags and toy boxes named for each child.
Dismantling and assembly: what we take apart and how long it takes
| Piece | Work | Approximate time |
|---|---|---|
| Full bedroom | Bed, wardrobe and dresser, panels numbered | 1–2 hours to dismantle, the same to assemble |
| Sliding wardrobe | Doors and tracks removed and packed separately | About an hour |

| Split AC | Refrigerant pumped down, both units removed and refitted | An hour per unit |
| Curtains and lights | Removed and refitted in the new home | By quantity |
Heavy furniture and delicate pieces
Some pieces need more than standard packing: their weight, value or fragility calls for a specific way of carrying and securing, which we plan before moving day so nothing surprises us on the stairs or at the door.
| Piece | Risk | Our method |
|---|---|---|
| Marble and granite tables | Breaking when carried flat | Carried upright with thick foam and a wooden frame |
| Crystal chandeliers | Loose and broken drops | Drops removed and packed separately in padded boxes |

| Artwork | Scratches and humidity | Corner guards, heavy cardboard, carried upright |
| Gym equipment | Weight and protruding parts | Parts removed and secured separately |
| Steel safes | Very heavy | Special trolleys and an extra crew |
Moving appliances safely
| Appliance | Before the move | After arrival |
|---|---|---|
| Fridge and freezer | Empty and defrost 24 hours ahead; secure shelves | Stand upright 3–4 hours before switching on |
| Washing machine | Lock the drum with transit bolts; drain water | Remove transit bolts before the first wash |
| Split AC | Pump down refrigerant; a technician removes both units | Install and test cooling |
| Cooker and gas | Disconnect gas and close valves | Check for leaks before use |
| Screens | A size-matched carton and foam | Reconnect using your photos |

Furniture storage in Riyadh

- Raised racks for wooden furniture and mattresses.
- A numbered contents list for every customer.
- Short storage for days or long storage for months.
Moving offices, shops and restaurants
We move offices after hours or at weekends so work doesn’t stop: equipment and cables are labelled, files sealed in boxes, and desks rearranged to the new floor plan. Shop and restaurant fittings — shelving, display fridges and ovens — are handled by technicians who know how to remove and secure them.

| Three days before | Empty the fridge gradually; prepare a bag of documents and medicines. |
| The day before | Unplug appliances and photograph TV and router connections. |
| Moving day | Be there for loading and unloading; check the box list. |
| After the move | Inspect items before signing; switch the fridge on after 3–4 hours. |
The best time to move in Riyadh
- Mid-month and mid-week: lower demand, easier dates and better prices.
- Early mornings in summer: Riyadh passes 45°C at midday, so we start early to protect appliances and the crew.
- Avoid month-end: the peak for lease renewals and moves.
- In Ramadan: we also work after iftar when needed to avoid long fasting hours.
- End of the school year: book at least two weeks ahead.
Moving in a Riyadh summer
High heat affects candles, perfumes, electronics and leather furniture, and makes long hours in the sun exhausting. So we load in the morning, use closed dynas, place sensitive items in the middle of the load away from hot box walls, and never leave furniture on the pavement while waiting for the lift.
Mistakes that make a move dearer or riskier
- Relying on a phone price without photos or a survey, then facing new items on the day.
- Leaving gold, documents and medicines inside boxes.
- Not booking the lift or a dyna parking spot.
- Moving the fridge on its side, or switching it on straight away.
- Putting every room’s screws in one bag.
- Booking at month-end when demand peaks.
The guarantee and what it covers
| Case | What we do |
|---|---|
| A scratch or break proven to happen in transit | Repair or compensation as agreed |
| An item missing from the numbered list | Immediate search, then compensation if not found |
| A faulty bedroom or wardrobe assembly | The crew returns to reassemble at no cost |
| A delay | Advance notice with the reason and new time |
⚠️ For the guarantee to work for you
Inspect the items with the crew before signing and photograph any issue on the spot; claims days later are hard to trace.
