Fill in the quote form, call 050 683 4708, or send photos or a short video of your home on WhatsApp. You receive a fixed written price.
How far in advance should I book movers in Dubai?
One to two weeks is ideal, and earlier for weekends, month-end dates and large villas. Short-notice moves are sometimes possible — WhatsApp us to check.
Do I need a permit to move in Dubai?
Most apartment buildings and many gated communities require a move-in or move-out permit (sometimes called an NOC) from building or community management. Apply a few days before moving.
Do you book the service lift?
The lift is booked with your building management, usually by the resident. We tell you what to request and coordinate with security on the day.
What should I do about DEWA when moving?
Request DEWA move-out for your old home and activation for your new one in advance, so you have electricity and water on moving day. See our DEWA and Ejari guide.
Do you move offices?
Yes, we relocate offices after hours and at weekends, including workstations and IT equipment.
Do you provide storage?
Yes, via a partner storage facility, from AED 200 per month (T&C apply).
Do you install TVs and curtains?
Yes. TV mounting starts from AED 99 and curtain rods from AED 150 per rod (T&C apply).
Can you move me from Dubai to Abu Dhabi or Sharjah?

How do I pay?
We accept cash, card and bank transfer. Payment terms are written in your quote.
What if I need to change or cancel my move date?
Let us know as early as possible. Date changes and cancellations follow our cancellation policy.
What items can you not move?
