When a move cannot wait
Some moves cannot be planned. After water or fire damage the flat has to be cleared so that it can be repaired. With an extraordinary termination or a separation, sometimes days are what counts.
In such cases we tell you straight away what is actually possible. A date at short notice depends on whether a team is free, and an honest answer on the phone is worth more than a promise that does not hold.
Store in between rather than move twice
In an emergency move the destination is often not settled yet. Interim storage is then the most sensible route: we clear the flat, store the contents in monitored premises and deliver as soon as you have a new address.
That is almost always cheaper than moving twice, and it means you do not have to take an unsuitable flat under pressure. Short term storage starts at one week and you can extend at any time.
After damage to the property
After water or fire damage the order matters: first whatever can be saved is secured, then the property is cleared, then repaired. Here we work together with your insurer and the tradespeople and document what was disposed of.
Damaged goods we dispose of properly and with proof, see disposal and junk removal.

Frequently asked questions
How short notice can an emergency move be?
It depends on our workload. Away from the end of the month something is often possible within a few days. Call us, on the phone we can check immediately whether a team is free.
Does a short notice move cost more?
Not as a matter of principle. Extra cost arises only if we have to work outside normal hours or deploy additional staff. That is stated in the quote beforehand.
What if I do not have a new home yet?
Then we put the contents into storage. You can store from one week and extend at any time until a suitable place is found.
Do you work with insurers?
Yes. After damage we document what was cleared and disposed of and issue the proof for the insurer.
