Preparation for moving (dismantling)

Preparation for Moving, Dismantling Done Right

Moving day goes smoother when bulky furniture, fixtures, and equipment are prepared in advance. Our dismantling service is designed to reduce damage risks, speed up loading, and make it easier to navigate tight hallways, staircases, and elevators. We handle disassembly with care, keep every part organized, and set you up for a clean, efficient relocation.

Whether you are relocating a home or a workplace, we plan each dismantling job around your layout, timelines, and what must stay usable until the last moment. From wardrobes and beds to office desks and shelving, we make sure items are taken apart safely and prepared for transport with the right protection.

What We Dismantle and How We Prepare It

Disassembly is not only about unscrewing parts. It also includes protecting surfaces, separating fragile elements, and packing hardware so nothing gets lost. We use appropriate tools and proven methods for common furniture systems and custom pieces.

• Bedroom and living room furniture including beds, headboards, wardrobes, modular units, and display cabinets.
• Dining and kitchen items such as tables, extendable tops, stools, and freestanding shelving.
• Office and retail fittings including desks, conference tables, partitions, racking, and reception counters.
• Bulky or complex pieces like corner sofas, wall units, and items that must be moved in sections.

Each dismantled item is grouped by room or zone and labeled to support a fast reassembly later. If you are booking broader moving services, we coordinate dismantling with packing and loading so the truck is packed in a stable, logical order.

Our Dismantling Process, Step by Step

1. On site assessment and protection

We start by checking access routes, measuring tight points, and identifying fragile finishes. Floors, door frames, and corners are protected where needed, especially in rented properties or newly renovated spaces.

2. Safe disassembly and parts management

We dismantle furniture using the right tools and avoid forcing joints or stressing panels. Hardware is collected in sealed bags, clearly labeled, and kept with the corresponding piece. Glass, mirrors, and delicate components are separated and prepared for safe transport.

3. Packing for transit and easier handling

Where required, we wrap sections to prevent scratches and edge damage. Items that are ready for loading are staged neatly, keeping walkways clear and reducing trip hazards. When clients choose packing and unpacking services, we align dismantling with box packing so rooms are cleared in a controlled sequence.

4. Optional reassembly at destination

If requested, we reassemble key items first so you can settle in faster. Beds, wardrobes, desks, and shelving can be prioritized, especially when you need immediate usability for family routines or business operations.

Residential and Commercial Dismantling

Different properties require different approaches. In homes, we focus on protecting finishes and keeping parts organized by room. In offices and commercial spaces, we prioritize speed, access coordination, and minimizing downtime.

• Residential moves We dismantle large furniture to reduce the chance of wall and stairwell damage, and we keep small parts carefully sorted for quick setup.
• Commercial moves We can work in phases, dismantling non essential areas first and leaving critical workstations for last. This supports a smoother transition for staff and clients.
• Special access situations Tight staircases, narrow landings, and limited parking call for careful staging and planning. We adapt the process to your building rules and schedule.

If you need a coordinated plan that includes transport, lifting, and staging, our furniture disassembly and assembly support can be combined with other relocation tasks to keep everything on track.

What to Do Before We Arrive

A little preparation can save time and reduce costs. If possible, clear personal items from drawers and shelves, and identify anything that should not be dismantled. Let us know about delicate finishes, loose fittings, or previous repairs, and point out items that require extra care.

1. Empty drawers, cabinets, and display shelves.
2. Set aside keys, remote controls, and small accessories that belong to specific items.
3. Take photos of cable setups or complex workstations if you want the same layout later.
4. Confirm building access rules, elevator bookings, or loading bay times if applicable.

We can also advise you on what to keep assembled for stability and what should be taken apart to protect it during transport.
