House Shifting FAQs

House shifting FAQs – before you book

Most questions are about price, packing and timing. In short: the price is fixed after a free survey, packing material is included in the with-packing rate, and most local moves finish the same day.

LED TVs, fridges, washing machines and ACs are packed and loaded upright. Every carton is labelled with its room, so unloading and setting is quick. Read our damage claim policy – insurance can be arranged for valuable items.

How to prepare your house before shifting

Start with the rooms you use least – store room, guest room, books and decoration. Sort each room into keep, sell, donate and throw; every item you do not move saves money and space on the vehicle.

Empty drawers of loose small items, keep screws of dismantled furniture in labelled bags, and take photos of TV and computer wiring before unplugging. Clear the path from each room to the gate so loading is quick.

Keep jewellery, cash, passports, property papers and medicines in one bag that stays with you on moving day.

Moving with children, elders and pets

Moving day is busy and noisy. If possible, let children and elders spend it with relatives, or set up one quiet room with snacks, water and chargers.

Pack a bag for each child with clothes, a favourite toy and school things for the first days. Keep elders’ medicines with you, not in the vehicle.

Pets get stressed by strangers and open gates – keep them in a carrier or a closed room until the team has left.

Best time to shift in Lahore

Month-end and the first days of the month are the busiest because most rental agreements change then. Mid-month and mid-week dates are easier to book.

In summer, start early in the morning to avoid the afternoon heat; in the monsoon keep a little extra time and make sure the vehicle is fully covered. Winter mornings in Lahore are cold but ideal for moving.

During Ramadan we plan the work in the morning so the team finishes before iftar, and before Eid it is best to book a week ahead.

Getting appliances ready for shifting

Defrost and dry the fridge and freezer a day before, and keep the doors slightly open so they do not smell. After the move, let the fridge stand for a few hours before switching it on.

Drain the washing machine and lock its drum if it has transit bolts. Gas cookers and geysers should be disconnected by a technician.

Split ACs need a technician to pump down the gas before removing the indoor and outdoor units – our AC team does this and installs them again at the new home.

Mistakes that make shifting expensive

The most common mistake is underestimating the amount of goods. If the vehicle is too small, a second trip is needed, which costs more than booking the right size at the start.

Not mentioning upper floors without a lift, a long walk from the gate or special items like a piano or safe also causes surprises on the day. Share these at the survey and they are included in the price.

Booking at the last minute at month-end, when most leases end, leaves fewer choices. Booking a few days earlier gives you your preferred date and time.
