Packers and Movers in Jalahalli East

A 1 BHK is usually Rs 3,500 to Rs 6,500, a 2 BHK Rs 6,000 to Rs 10,500 and a larger house Rs 9,000 to Rs 16,000. A household with several large carpets sits a little higher in the band, because rolling and wrapping them properly takes crew time. The survey gives you a written figure.

You can, if you roll it along the length with the pile inside and don't tie it too tight. Most people fold it instead, which is the problem. If in doubt, leave it flat and we'll do it, it takes us a few minutes a rug.

Folds set into the backing and the pile, and on a thick rug they can stay visible for months. Rolling spreads the bend over the whole length. On a short local move it matters less, on a long move with other goods pressing on it, it matters a lot.

For most rugs, pile in, which protects the face. Some very stiff or old rugs with a brittle backing are better rolled the other way so the backing isn't bent too sharply. We check the rug before deciding.

Yes. It's rolled around a cardboard tube, wrapped in paper, then in a cloth or film cover depending on how dry it is, and carried by two people so it doesn't sag in the middle. If it's valuable, list it with a declared value for transit insurance.

If it's damp inside, it shouldn't be rolled tight or wrapped in film. We'll roll it loosely in paper and keep it on top of the load, and you should unroll it the moment it arrives. Better still, clean it a week earlier next time.

Not if it's wrapped and kept off the floor of the vehicle. We lay a sheet under the rolls and keep them away from bikes, tools or anything oily. Unwrapped rugs lying on a bare truck floor are how that smell happens.

Yes, once the furniture is in and the floor is swept. Tell us where each one goes, or better, mark it with a bit of tape beforehand. Laying rugs first just means dragging wardrobes over them.

A fitted carpet has to be lifted by a carpet fitter first, because it's usually glued or gripped at the edges. Once it's up and rolled, we move it like any other roll. Whether it will fit a different room is a question for the fitter, not us.

They're lighter and easier, and they fold better than pile rugs, though rolling is still kinder. Jute sheds, so it's wrapped to keep the fibres off everything else. Dhurries are often in a stack, which we keep flat and wrapped together.

As many as you have, it's more about where they sit. Rolls go along the length of the vehicle, on top or against a side, never under heavy furniture. A long roll can dictate the vehicle size, so mention its length at survey.

Most roads in the layouts take a medium vehicle. Some inner cross roads are narrow, with cars parked on both sides in the morning. There we park at the corner and carry, and the survey tells us which it is.

Yes, both are short and common moves. Most of the day is spent loading and unloading rather than driving, so the lifts and stairs at each end decide how long it takes.

No, carpet cleaning is a separate trade. If a rug needs cleaning, send it to a cleaner before the move or have it collected from the new address afterwards. Moving a dirty rug into a new house and cleaning it there is usually easier for everyone.

Yes, on declared value. For a valuable hand made rug, keep the purchase papers or a valuation if you have one. Rugs rarely get damaged in a local move, but a stain from another item is the risk worth covering.

Rug pads and anti slip mats get rolled inside the rug, or packed flat beside it. Old rubber pads sometimes stick to the floor and crumble when lifted, in which case it's better to throw them and buy a new one.

Yes, short term storage in Bangalore is available and priced monthly on volume. Rugs must be completely dry before going into storage, and they're stored rolled and raised off the floor.

Of course. Rugs are one part of an ordinary household move, and most of our work in Jalahalli East is a regular flat or house. They're simply the part people most often get wrong themselves.

Measure before moving if you can. A rug that's too big can go into storage, be sold, or be cut and bound by a carpet specialist, though cutting a good rug is rarely a good idea. Better to know than to find out on the day.

Usually a day, packing in the morning and loading by afternoon, or packed the day before and moved in a morning. Rugs add perhaps half an hour to the whole job.

They travel on the same vehicle. If you're sending a single valuable rug somewhere else, a relative's house for instance, it can go as a part load. That's priced separately.

Not during a local move, which is too short. Moths are a storage problem. If a wool rug is going into storage or will sit rolled for months, clean it first and consider a moth deterrent in the wrap.

Of course. We'll leave the rolls standing in a dry corner of the room they belong to. Unroll them within a day or two, rolled rugs left in a corner for weeks tend to keep their curl at the edges.

Labour, packing material, the vehicle, loading, transport and unloading, plus dismantling and reassembly of standard furniture. Rolling and laying rugs is part of that. Car and bike carriers and storage are separate lines.

Yes. Bikes on a carrier are Rs 2,500 to Rs 5,500 and cars Rs 6,000 to Rs 12,000. Booking them together with the household keeps one supervisor answerable for all of it.

A week is comfortable for most dates. Month end weekends go quickly in this belt, so give two if your date is fixed. Short notice moves are possible when a crew is free on this side.

Yes, intercity moves are priced per kilometre on our standard rates. On long moves, rugs are wrapped more carefully and loaded where nothing heavy can shift onto them.

Anything hard, and anything you'll want soon. People roll small items inside a rug to save space, and a remote or a picture frame inside a roll leaves a dent that stays. Everything else goes in cartons.
