At Removals Switzerland, we provide carefully planned, fully managed home removals across Switzerland and surrounding regions. With years of hands-on experience moving everything from studio flats to large family homes, we understand how to make moving day run smoothly, safely and on time.
Whether you are moving across town, relocating within Switzerland, or heading to or from the UK or Europe, our professional, fully insured team will handle your belongings as if they were our own.
Our home removals service is designed to take the physical and logistical strain off your shoulders. We tailor every move to suit your property, access, timings and budget. Typical moves include:
Every move is overseen by an experienced move coordinator who will be your single point of contact from first enquiry to final placement of furniture.
Moving in Switzerland brings its own challenges – narrow streets, mountain roads, parking restrictions, and building regulations. Our crews work across Swiss cities and alpine regions every day, so we understand local access issues, timings and practicalities.
This local knowledge means fewer surprises on moving day and a smoother, more efficient service.
From small houses to large family properties, we manage full household moves, including garden items, garages and outbuildings. We can dismantle and reassemble complex furniture, move pianos, and handle fragile or high-value items with extra protection.
Whether you're upsizing, downsizing or changing canton, we work to fixed arrival windows so you can coordinate keys, inventories and check-in or check-out appointments. We’re used to working within tight access times in apartment blocks.
We assist landlords with partial and full clearances, as well as moving furniture between properties. Our reliable teams can handle end-of-tenancy moves without disruption to neighbours or building management.
If you need to move household-type furniture for staff relocations or provide relocation support for employees, we can offer a structured, fully documented service, including inventory lists and timed delivery slots.
From university halls to shared flats, we offer cost-effective moves for smaller loads, including shared van options at quieter times. We can store belongings between terms or during internships abroad.
If you are unsure whether something can be moved, we will confirm during the survey and suggest safe alternatives where necessary.
You contact us with basic details: current address, destination, property size, and preferred dates. We provide an initial estimate and outline the options that best fit your move. At this stage we also highlight any special requirements, such as storage or out-of-hours access.
We carry out a video or onsite survey to understand access, volume of belongings, parking, and any fragile or bulky items. This allows us to recommend the right vehicle size, team, and equipment. Following the survey, you receive a clear, written quotation with no hidden extras.
You can choose from:
On the day (or the day before for larger moves), our trained team protects furniture with covers, wraps fragile items, and labels everything clearly.
Our crew loads your belongings in a safe, methodical order, securing everything professionally for transit. Vehicles are clean, well-maintained and equipped with straps, blankets and trolleys. We plan the route in advance, allowing for traffic, border crossings (where relevant) and any time restrictions.
At your new home we place furniture and boxes in the rooms you request, reassemble dismantled items, and perform a final check with you before leaving. For larger moves, we can also offer an unpacking service and removal of used packing materials.
We believe in clear, upfront pricing. Our quotations typically take into account:
All expected charges are detailed in writing before you book. If your requirements change, we discuss any adjustments in advance so you stay in control of costs.
Moving yourself or using a casual man-and-van may seem cheaper, but there are important differences:
When you factor in van hire, fuel, time off work, potential damage and physical strain, a professional move often offers better overall value.
Your belongings are important, both financially and emotionally. To protect them, we operate to strict professional standards:
We are happy to explain cover levels in detail and can discuss extra cover for high-value items where required.
We treat your property and the environment with respect. Our approach includes:
Inside your home, we protect floors and vulnerable surfaces, and ensure communal areas are kept clean and clear to avoid disturbance to neighbours.
A family moving from a city apartment to a larger suburban home may need a full packing service, dismantling of wardrobes and beds, and coordinated timing with both buyers and sellers. We handle all of this, keeping everyone informed and the timeline realistic.
For smaller offices or home offices, we move desks, chairs, filing, and IT equipment while keeping downtime to a minimum. We can work outside standard hours to reduce disruption and ensure essential equipment is up and running quickly.
Sometimes moves are unplanned – a sudden change in tenancy, a new job, or a last-minute purchase. Where capacity allows, we offer rapid response and even same-day services, prioritising essential items and staging follow-up trips if needed.
The cost depends on volume, distance, access and the level of service you choose. A small local flat move might only require a few hours with a compact crew, while a large family home or long-distance relocation will need more time, vehicles and movers. After a survey, we provide a fixed-price quotation so you know exactly what to budget for. There are no hidden extras; any potential surcharges, such as difficult access or additional packing, are clearly explained in advance.
Where our schedule allows, we can offer same-day or short-notice moves. This is more likely to be possible for smaller properties or partial loads, especially on weekdays. If you need an urgent move, contact us as early as you can with details of both addresses, what needs to be moved, and your time constraints. We can then confirm availability, outline realistic options, and prioritise essential items if a staged move over more than one day is the safest approach.
Yes. We provide goods in transit insurance for items while they are in our vehicles and public liability cover for property and third parties. This is designed to protect you in the unlikely event of loss or damage caused by our team. We explain the cover levels, any exclusions, and how to declare high-value items before you book. For particularly valuable items, we may recommend additional cover or specialist handling so you have complete peace of mind.
Our standard removals service includes loading all agreed items, protecting furniture, transporting them safely to your new address, and unloading everything into the rooms you choose. We dismantle and reassemble standard furniture where agreed in advance, and we provide basic protection such as blankets and covers. Optional extras include full packing, fragile packing, unpacking, and storage. All inclusions are clearly listed on your quotation so you know exactly what we will do on moving day.
A casual man-and-van usually offers transport only, often without written terms, insurance, or trained staff. A professional removals service provides structured planning, surveys, trained crews, fully insured transport, quality packing materials and proper equipment. We are accountable for timings, care of your property and safety on site. This reduces the risk of damage, delays, or last-minute cancellations. For anything more than a very small or simple move, a professional service is usually safer, more reliable and better value overall.
Ideally, book as soon as you know your likely moving date, especially if you are moving at the end of the month or during peak seasons. Two to four weeks’ notice is typical for most home moves, but we can often accommodate shorter timescales, particularly for smaller properties. Early booking gives you a better choice of dates and time slots and allows us to arrange surveys, packing materials and any access permissions well in advance.
