Bringing Furniture and Objects Up to the Floor
Getting bulky furniture and heavy objects from street level to an upper floor can be stressful, slow, and risky without the right help. Tight stairwells, small lifts, awkward corners, and strict building rules can turn a simple delivery into a major challenge. Our team provides a practical, careful service that brings your items up to the correct floor safely, whether you are moving in, renovating, or receiving new purchases.
We handle single items and full loads, and we work with apartments, houses, and commercial spaces. From planning the best route to protecting walls and floors, we focus on safe handling, clear communication, and on time completion.
What We Can Bring Up and How We Work
Items we commonly move upstairs
We bring up furniture and objects that are difficult to carry or too valuable to risk. This includes items like sofas, wardrobes, beds, tables, desks, display units, appliances, and boxed deliveries. We can also help with fragile pieces such as mirrors, glass furniture, artwork, and sensitive electronics, using protective wrapping and careful positioning.
- Heavy items that require multiple handlers and coordinated lifting
- Oversized furniture that needs turning and angle control on stairs
- Delicate objects that require protection against bumps and vibration
- Flat pack and boxed items delivered to ground level that must reach an upper floor
Our step by step approach
Every job starts with a quick assessment. We confirm the floor number, access points, lift availability, stair width, landing turns, and any building requirements such as booking a service lift or using protective mats. We then decide the safest handling method, including whether partial disassembly is needed to make an item pass safely.
- Confirm access, parking, and delivery time windows
- Protect common areas, floors, and door frames where needed
- Carry, lift, and maneuver items using correct techniques and teamwork
- Place items in the requested room and position
- Remove wrapping and packaging if requested
If your move includes more than carrying items upstairs, we can coordinate with broader moving services so everything arrives in the right order and without delays.
Safety, Protection, and Building Friendly Handling
Bringing items up stairs is one of the most common points where damage can happen. We reduce risk by using proper lifting practices, planning the route in advance, and controlling movement at turns and landings. We can use blankets, stretch wrap, corner protection, and floor coverings when appropriate, especially in buildings with freshly painted walls or new flooring.
We also keep the process respectful for neighbors and building management. If your building has quiet hours, lift reservation rules, or a requirement to protect corridors, we will follow those instructions. When needed, we can coordinate timing so the job is completed efficiently with minimal disruption.
- Damage prevention for walls, handrails, floors, and doorways
- Careful handling for valuables and delicate finishes
- Clear coordination with lift bookings and access codes
- Reduced strain so you avoid injury from heavy lifting
When This Service Is the Right Choice
This service is ideal when you have items delivered to the curb or lobby, but need them carried to a higher floor. It is also a smart choice during renovations, when you need to relocate furniture between floors, or when you are downsizing and moving items into storage areas in the building.
If you are planning a bigger relocation, we can combine upstairs carrying with packing and unpacking services so items are protected before they are moved and placed correctly after arrival. For offices and retail spaces, we can help bring equipment, fixtures, and stock up to the right floor while keeping pathways clear and work areas organized.
Booking Details and What to Prepare
To schedule the service smoothly, it helps to share a few details in advance. The more we know, the faster we can plan the safest route and send the right team size. If you are unsure about measurements, we can guide you on what to check, such as stair width and landing space.
- Pickup point and drop off floor number
- Lift availability, stair type, and distance from entrance to stairs
- Item dimensions, weight estimates, and whether disassembly is possible
- Any fragile components like glass panels or stone tops
- Preferred placement room and orientation on arrival
For clients who need a broader solution, we can align this service with furniture moving services to cover loading, transport, and delivery, not just the carry up. Whatever the scope, we aim to make the process straightforward and safe from the first lift to the final placement.
Contact us with your floor, access details, and the items you need moved, and we will arrange a careful carry up service that gets everything where it belongs.
FAQ
What information do you need to quote a carry up to an upper floor?
Share the floor number, lift availability, stair layout, and the size and type of each item. Photos of stair turns and landings help us plan the safest route and send the right team.
Can you bring up large items if they do not fit in the lift?
Yes, we can carry items via stairs when lift access is limited or unavailable. If the item is too wide for turns, we may recommend partial disassembly and careful reassembly after placement.
Do you protect walls and floors in common areas during the carry up?
We can use protective materials like blankets, wrap, corner guards, and floor coverings where needed. Let us know if your building requires specific protection or lift booking rules so we can comply.
