Packers and Movers in Kumara Park 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. Older homes with heavy wooden furniture sit toward the top of their band, because the crew is larger and the pieces need more care. The survey gives you the figure in writing.

Look for mud tubes on the walls behind it, fine powder or dust at its base, blistered paint or veneer, and wood that sounds hollow when you tap it. Small winged insects near windows in the evening are another sign. Old tunnels with no fresh dust are usually past damage.

If the damage is old and nothing is active, yes. If there's live activity, we'll recommend treatment before the move. Moving live termites in a closed vehicle and into a closed new flat just gives them a new home.

Before. Treat the furniture a week or two ahead, following the pest control company's advice on waiting time. Treating after the move means the termites have already been in the new flat, and possibly in its fixtures.

They can, into door frames, fitted wardrobes and anything wooden that touches the floor or a damp wall. That's the reason to deal with them before moving. The new landlord's cupboards aren't your responsibility until your furniture puts termites in them.

It may not be strong enough to carry. Wood that's been hollowed out can crack or fall apart when lifted, especially down a staircase. We'll tell you at survey, and sometimes the honest answer is to leave it or have it broken up.

Often yes, by a carpenter who can replace the eaten sections once the wood is treated. It's worth asking a carpenter before deciding to move a piece, because the repair might cost more than the furniture is worth to you.

Yes. Hard, old woods like rosewood and teak resist termites better than softwood, though not completely. They're heavy, so the crew size follows them, and they're wrapped fully because old polish marks easily.

They can eat cardboard, especially damp cardboard stored on the floor. Old cartons that have sat in a store room for years sometimes have termite damage. We bring fresh cartons, and old ones are better thrown away.

Check them. Termites like paper as much as wood, and books on a bottom shelf against a wall are the usual victims. Damaged books can be packed separately, and anything with live insects stays behind until it's treated or thrown out.

Ask the pest control company, it depends on the treatment. Most treatments for furniture are applied to the affected areas and don't harm a sound finish. Polish can be touched up afterwards if needed.

The main roads take a medium vehicle. Some of the side roads are narrow and lined with parked cars, and there we park where we can and carry a short distance. The survey tells us which.

The main roads around here are busy for most of the day. An early start, around seven, gives us the quietest hours for loading and a clearer run out of the area.

Yes, both are short moves. The drive is quick. The time goes on carrying heavy old furniture out of one building and into another.

Yes, and we recommend it. Old termite damage, chips and loose joints are noted before anything moves, so there's a clear record of what condition each piece was in. It protects both of us.

Yes, on declared value. It covers damage in transit, not damage that was already there, which is another reason to note existing termite damage clearly before the move.

Not if it's sound now. Old, treated damage with no new activity is common and harmless. Tap the wood, check for fresh dust, and if it's solid, it moves like any other piece.

Where they come apart cleanly, yes. Old wardrobes with weakened joints are sometimes safer moved whole, carefully, than taken apart and put back together. We check the joints first.

Yes, short term storage in Bangalore is priced monthly. Wooden furniture must be free of live termites before it goes into storage, for everyone else's things as well as yours.

Of course, plenty of our work here is regular apartment moves. Termites come up in the older houses often enough to be worth explaining how we deal with them.

A 2 BHK with heavy wooden furniture is usually a full day. Treatment, if it's needed, has to happen a week or two before, so plan the date around it.

Heavy cabinets, yes, with a larger crew. An upright piano needs extra people and a check of the stairs and doors at survey. Mention it when you book.

Fixed flooring and wall panelling belong to the building and stay. If you installed loose panels or a platform yourself, they can come, but check for termites first, because that's where they often start.

Yes, small loads start at Rs 2,999. A single heavy wardrobe or a pair of cabinets is a common job in this area.

Yes. Bikes on a carrier are Rs 2,500 to Rs 5,500 and cars Rs 6,000 to Rs 12,000, booked with the household so one supervisor answers for everything. If your furniture is waiting on pest treatment, the vehicles can go on their own date, there's no reason for them to wait.

Yes, each piece wrapped individually and packed in small cartons. Old crockery sets are often irreplaceable, so they're packed tightly and marked fragile.

Two weeks is ideal if there's any chance of pest treatment, so there's time to treat and wait. Otherwise, a week is usually enough.

Yes, intercity moves are priced per kilometre on our standard rates. Old wooden furniture on a long journey is wrapped and blocked more carefully, and it must be termite free before it goes.

Call a pest control company straight away and tell them where the furniture came from. The sooner it's treated, the less damage is done. And tell your new landlord, because their fittings may need checking too.
