Moving company Spijkenisse - compare quotes from local movers

What does a moving company do in Spijkenisse?

A moving company will load your belongings, take them to your new home and put everything back in its place. In addition, most companies will take apart your cupboards and beds, pack fragile items and rent a moving lift if the stairwell is too tight.

Types of moving and moving materials

• Private removals, from a porch apartment in Sterrenkwartier to a terraced house in Vriesland.
• Business relocations and the furnishing of a business premises, scheduled outside your opening hours.
• Furniture transport if only a sofa or dining table needs to be transported.
• Dismantling and rebuilding beds, cupboards and kitchens.
• Special transport of a piano, safe or aquarium, with our own equipment.
• Packing service with moving boxes and other moving materials, plus temporary storage.

Include these wishes immediately in your request, because booking later almost always costs more than arranging everything at once. This way you also know whether the moving service will leave the old home clean.

How much does a moving company cost in Spijkenisse?

The price is based on the volume of your furnishings in cubic meters, the number of floors, the accessibility of both addresses and the services you purchase. Spijkenisser rates are approximately 10 to 15 percent below those in Amsterdam, because the car can be parked close to the porch door in almost every neighborhood.

Count on 300 to 525 euros for a studio and 600 to 1,050 euros for a three-room apartment with elevator. A terraced house in De Akkers or Vriesland costs 875 to 1,700 euros. If you live on the third floor in a porch apartment without a lift, the moving lift will probably be added.

What pushes your final amount up or down

• The number of stairs. Above the second floor, the team records time per floor.
• The use of a moving lift. This costs 150 to 350 euros per day, including set-up and dismantling.
• The walking distance. If the car is around the corner from the porch, a surcharge will appear.
• The weekday. A Wednesday in Sterrenkwartier easily saves a quarter on the same work.
• A piano, a safe or an aquarium. A separate rate applies for such documents.

Don't get hung up on the total at the bottom. Boxes and blankets, the paperwork for the exemption and the hours that go by if the keys arrive late: that's where the hassle arises afterwards. Have everything noted including VAT, otherwise you will be comparing unequal quotes.

What to pay attention to when moving in Spijkenisse

Apply for an exemption from the municipality of Nissewaard

Spijkenisse falls under the municipality of Nissewaard. If you want to park the moving van somewhere where this is not normally allowed, you must request an exemption from the traffic rules. The municipality does not charge any fees for an incidental day exemption, such as a move.

The municipality will decide within two weeks after a complete application and may extend that period once by one week. So request it at least three weeks before your moving day. If you move from or to an address in the pedestrian area of ​​the center, this is a separate ground for an exemption. In normal residential areas you often don't need anything; the car sits there at the curb without any problems.

Porch flats and gallery flats in Sterrenkwartier and Groenewoud

Spijkenisse was commissioned in 1977 to build approximately 16,500 homes within fifteen years. This resulted in entire neighborhoods with stacked buildings, often three to four stories high and without an elevator. Sterrenkwartier and Groenewoud are the best-known examples of this.

The metro to Rotterdam determined where the new neighborhoods were located: the tallest buildings are close to the Spijkenisse Centrum, Heemraadlaan and De Akkers stations. Handy for you as a resident, but it means more stacked homes and therefore more stairs for the moving team.

Rent a moving lift in Spijkenisse: when do you need one?

In a porch apartment, the stairs turn sharply and the landing is narrow. You rarely get through a double bed, a large sofa or a high cupboard. The elevator along the gallery or balcony solves this and shortens the job by hours. Renting a moving lift in Spijkenisse costs 150 to 350 euros per day. Send photos of the porch, the stairs and the outside of the building in advance, because if you do not arrange this until the moving day, you will pay an emergency rate.

Moving to Spijkenisse or across the bridge to Rotterdam

Spijkenisse is located on Voorne-Putten and you drive into the city over the Spijkenisser Bridge, the Hartel Bridge or via the Botlektunnel. These connections are full during rush hour and the bridges open to shipping. A local mover plans moves to Hoogvliet, Rotterdam-Zuid or Capelle aan den IJssel. Ask how he charges the trip: on an hourly basis from the loading address, or including call-out costs.

This is how you choose experienced movers in Spijkenisse

Collect three offers and rate them based on content. Count the men, the planned hours and the work involved per quotation; there you can see whether the amount is correct. If there is a fort below the other two, then a line is missing.

• Look up the Chamber of Commerce number and see whether the business address belongs to a warehouse and not to a terraced house.
• In a narrow entryway, a cupboard is more likely to touch a door frame than the floor. Ask what amount the damage is covered for.
• Ask whether the moving lift is included in the price or charged separately.
• Browse the latest reviews and see how the company resolves a damage claim.
• Check whether this company is a member of a trade association for moving companies.

Do not accept any amount determined by telephone. Invite the mover or film your home room by room, including the shed and storage room. Anyone who hasn't seen anything is gambling, and on moving day such a gamble is always higher.

From requesting a quote to delivery

1. You request a quote without obligation and let each mover view or film the home.
2. They estimate your cubic meters and come up with a fixed amount or an hourly rate.
3. The date goes on paper. You agree who will apply for the exemption from Nissewaard.
4. The boxes are delivered halfway through the last week, or the packing service packs everything.
5. On the day itself, cabinets are taken apart, the elevator runs along the facade and everything is put back upright.
6. You walk through both houses together. You only sign when you are satisfied.

Don't skip that last step. Photograph any damage while the car is still in front of the porch and have the foreman sign it. You can also indicate during the move that you need to be more careful, because a subsequent claim often fails.

Planning and busy periods in Spijkenisse

Movers in the region are full most quickly around the first and last days of the month, because rental contracts expire on that date. The summer months are the busiest. If your date falls within this category, please reserve it six weeks in advance; in a quiet week, three weeks is sufficient.

If you are not committed to a date, please let us know. In the middle of the month there are gaps in the planning and a company would rather fill them with a discount than with downtime. Avoid the morning rush hour towards the bridge, because you will have to pay for the waiting time.
