It depends on how much furniture there is, which floor you are on, whether there is a lift, the distance between the two addresses, and how much of the packing you want us to handle. A studio in Al Nakheel is a very different job from a five-bedroom villa in Al Dhait. Rather than guess over the phone we survey first — by WhatsApp video or at your door — and then give you one written price that stays the same on moving day.

Yes, and this is the step that most often delays a move here, so we treat it as our responsibility. Managed communities generally want the crew names, vehicle details and move date submitted to the management office in advance, and many restrict moving to set hours. We handle that submission, get the approval confirmed in writing and schedule the crew inside the permitted window. Tell us the community and unit number at the survey and we will take it from there.

This is a large share of our work in Ras Al Khaimah, and it needs a different kind of care. Nobody has marked the home yet, so we protect fresh paint, door frames, skirting and new tiling before anything comes through the door, and we record the condition in writing so there is no argument later about what was already there. If your new furniture has been delivered flat-packed, we can assemble it while we are on site rather than leaving you with a room full of boxes.

We bring everything and it is included in the price: double-wall cartons, bubble wrap, stretch film, corner guards, mattress covers and wardrobe boxes. For homes close to the water we add moisture protection on upholstery and wooden pieces, so nothing is sealed up damp. If you would rather pack some things yourself, say so at the survey and we will price it that way.

We run that route constantly, in both directions — a lot of people move up to Ras Al Khaimah for the space while keeping a job down the coast. The full distance is calculated into the quote before you accept it, so no mileage or fuel surcharge appears afterwards, and the crew that packs your home is the crew that unloads it. Your belongings are never passed to another company along the way.

Both are included. Beds, wardrobes, majlis seating, dining tables, desks, TV mounts and curtain rails are taken apart and put back together, with the screws bagged and taped to each piece so nothing is lost between homes. Every move carries goods-in-transit cover, and we note any existing marks in writing before we start. For high-value items such as artwork, antiques or a piano, mention them at the survey so we crate and cover them properly.

Yes — the whole emirate, including the coast road north towards Sha’am, the inland villages around Digdaga and Khatt, and the road up towards Jebel Jais. That travel is part of the job and sits inside the quote rather than being treated as an excursion. For the further villages a day or two of notice helps us put the right crew and truck size on it, but same-day and next-day jobs are often still possible — it is always worth calling to ask.
