Packers and Movers in Malleshwaram West

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 family house Rs 9,000 to Rs 16,000. Older houses here sit higher in their band because of heavy furniture and the time it takes to carry it out along a busy street. The survey fixes your figure in writing.

Yes. Two people hold the plank while the chains are unhooked from the ceiling, and a third steadies the ladder. The plank is wrapped and the chains are bagged with every fitting. It's usually well under an hour, a little more if the fittings have rusted.

If there's already a sound hook in the ceiling, we can rehang it. Fixing a new hook into a concrete slab is a different job, it needs the right anchor and someone who knows what's in the slab. That's a carpenter or a contractor, with the owner's permission if the flat isn't yours.

Sometimes, with the right anchor fixed properly into the slab. A false ceiling can't take any load at all. Many families in flats switch to a freestanding swing frame, which needs no drilling and moves easily next time.

Wrapped in blankets, then film, with extra padding on carved edges. It travels flat on top of the load or on its edge against the side of the vehicle, and nothing heavy ever goes on it.

They're cleaned of dust, coiled so they don't tangle, and bagged with the shackles, hooks and any spacers. The bag is labelled and taped to the plank's wrapping, so the two never get separated.

Usually not. In an older house the hook is part of the structure, and pulling it out can crack old plaster or even the beam. Leave it for the owner or the next family, and bring a new hook if you need one.

Most old swings are sturdier than modern furniture. We check the plank for cracks and the chains for worn links before taking it down. If a link is badly worn, it's worth replacing before the swing is hung again, whoever hangs it.

Yes, short term storage in Bangalore is priced monthly on volume. A swing plank takes little space on its edge. Several families store it until they move into an independent house again.

The main roads and wider crosses take a medium vehicle. Some crosses are narrow, lined with parked cars and two wheelers, and near markets they're crowded most of the day. We check the street at survey and plan the carry.

Early morning, before the traffic on the main roads builds and before shops and schools open. A seven o'clock start gives a few clear hours.

Yes, and there's usually a lot. Rosewood and teak cupboards, dining tables, steel almirahs and old cots are common. The crew size follows the heaviest pieces, so we count them at survey.

Measure before you commit. Old furniture was made for rooms with high ceilings and wide doors, and a tall wardrobe may not stand up in a newer flat. We'll tell you honestly at survey if a piece looks too big.

The drive is short. The day depends on the lift and parking at the new building, and on how much heavy furniture comes out of the old house. Most moves of that kind are a full day.

Yes, wooden mantapas are wrapped and carried upright, with any glass or brass fittings packed separately. You'll decide what goes in first at the new house, and we'll set it down wherever you ask.

Yes, each piece wrapped in soft paper and packed in small cartons. Old brass is heavy, and too much in one carton makes it impossible to lift safely.

Measure the new room and compare. Chains can be shortened by removing links, which is a job for a local metal shop rather than the moving crew. Better done before it's hung.

Yes, on declared value. Old carved pieces are hard to value on paper, so decide what you'd want covered and keep photographs. It's worth having for anything that couldn't be replaced.

Of course, plenty of our work here is apartment moves in the newer blocks. The swing just comes up often enough in the older houses to deserve an explanation.

Yes, if it helps clear the front room. Some families like to take it down with a small ceremony a day early. Tell us at survey and we'll send two people for it.

A long plank usually goes in standing on its end, if the lift is tall enough. If not, it goes up the stairs. Measure the lift's height and depth if the plank is long.

Yes, where they come apart. Some old cots were built with glued or wedged joints that don't come apart cleanly. We'll check the joints and move them whole if dismantling risks damage.

Yes, intercity moves are priced per kilometre on our standard rates. An old swing and heavy furniture on a long move are crated or blocked more carefully, which we'll quote after survey.

Yes. Bikes on a carrier are Rs 2,500 to Rs 5,500 and cars Rs 6,000 to Rs 12,000. Booking them with the household means one supervisor for everything.

For a 2 BHK with a swing and a couple of heavy cupboards, usually four or five. The number is written in the quote, along with what it's based on.

Yes, if the furniture can get past it. We'll take it down last from the front room, once everything from the inner rooms has gone out. Plan the path at survey.

We won't drill into a slab or a beam, fit an anchor, or hang a swing from a hook we're not confident in. A swing that falls with someone on it is a serious injury, and that's not a risk worth taking to save a carpenter's visit.

A week is comfortable, two for a month end weekend. Older houses take longer to survey and plan, so book the survey early.

Yes. For older houses we prefer a visit to a video, because heavy furniture and narrow crosses are hard to judge on a screen. The written quote follows the same day or the next.

Our number is +91 90908 28210, and the main office is at Cheemasandra. We send crews to Malleshwaram and the Rajajinagar side regularly.
