Can I have my move carried out in the evening or at the weekend?

Saturdays can be booked with us and are in demand among working people – so enquire early. On Sundays, lorries over 7.5 t are banned from driving. If you work from home, you can also schedule the move on a weekday and plan an office day before it. Just tell us what times you would like.

How do I find enough time to pack alongside my job?

Start packing rarely used items such as seasonal clothing or books early to avoid time pressure. Use small time slots in the evening or book our packing service , which takes this work off your hands completely. That way your move stays easy to plan without stress, even with a full diary.

What does a move cost for working people with little time?

The costs depend on the moving volume, the distance and the extra services you want, such as packing or assembly. Thanks to our fixed price you know exactly from the start what to expect, without hidden extra costs. Simply call us on 01625978461 for an individual quote.

How do I organise a long-distance move for a new job efficiently?

For a job-related long-distance move , early planning is advisable, ideally six to eight weeks in advance. Sort out the notice periods for your old flat, the internet connection at the new address and the transport. You will find more information under long-distance moves on our website.

Do you also take care of organising my entire move?

We take care of dismantling, transport and assembly; on request we also pack. You handle cancelling and moving the internet connection yourself with your provider, as well as coordinating with your employer's IT. That way the part that only you can sort out stays manageable.

How can I combine dealing with the authorities during the move with my job?

Many authorities now offer online appointment booking, which fits well into your lunch break or after work. Prioritise important changes such as registering your residence and inform your employer, insurers and banks in good time. A checklist helps you not to forget anything during the stressful move .

What is a part load and is it worth it for me?

With a part load , you share the cargo space of a van with other customers moving in a similar direction. This lowers the costs considerably, especially for smaller moving volumes or long-distance moves. For working people on a limited budget, this is an attractive, low-cost alternative to a complete move.

How do I best protect my furniture during transport?

Blankets, bubble wrap and sturdy boxes protect furniture and technology from transport damage. As a moving company , we are liable under the HGB, limited by law to €620 per cubic metre (§ 451e HGB). For expensive monitors or computers we recommend additional insurance – it is best to take your laptop and storage media with you yourself.

Can I book furniture assembly and dismantling as an extra?

Of course, as an extra service we offer professional furniture assembly and dismantling by our team. This saves you valuable time and nerves, especially with more complex pieces such as wardrobes or beds. That way you can settle into your new home in a relaxed way after a stressful working day.

How do I avoid scheduling conflicts between my job and the moving date?

Talk to your employer early about the planned moving date and clarify whether you will come into the office or work from home in the week of the move. If possible, plan the move so that the new internet connection is already running. Our date is fixed after the survey.

Do you also come to working people outside Berlin?

We have one location: Stromstraße 21 in Berlin-Moabit. From there our moving service operates within Berlin and nationwide. You can see destinations with their own page under locations . Just contact us for advice about your date.

Moving your home office: technology data and internet

Q: How much leave should I plan for a move?

For an average private move we recommend planning at least two to three days of leave, ideally around a weekend. With a professional moving service , the leave you need is often reduced to one day, as we take care of packing and transport. That leaves enough time to set up the new flat without work-related stress.

Last dismantled, first connected

Home office without downtime

Unsere Firma Moving with a home office: back up data, coordinate work devices and have the internet connection moved in good time.

If you regularly work from home, your move also means moving your workspace. The desk should therefore be the last thing dismantled and the first thing set up again. Before the technology goes into boxes, back up your data and agree with the IT department how work devices should be transported. Most important of all, though, is the internet connection – it needs the longest lead time.

We transport monitors, printers and your office chair as part of your private move; it is best to take the laptop and charger with you yourself. We give you the fixed price after the survey. Your belongings are covered under the German Commercial Code (HGB); for expensive technology we recommend additional insurance. That way your workspace is back in place by the evening of moving day.

FOCUS ON YOUR WORKSPACE

So that you can get back to work quickly

Desk out last, in first

For working people with a home office, what counts is that the workspace is out of action for as short a time as possible. We load the desk, chair and monitors last and set them up first in the new flat. We set the moving date bindingly after the survey and give you the fixed price in advance. Your belongings are covered under the HGB. We have one location in Berlin-Moabit; destinations with their own page can be found under our locations.

Packing service

On request we pack books, files and the kitchen – you only take care of the laptop, data backup and the documents that must remain confidential.

Padding technology

It is best to transport monitors in their original packaging or well padded and upright. Cables go, labelled, into a box of their own.

Assembly service

We assemble the desk and shelving first in the new flat – then your workspace is ready before the remaining boxes are unpacked.

Furniture transport

Office chair, mobile pedestal and height-adjustable desk are heavy and delicate – for transport we secure moving parts beforehand.

HOME OFFICE CHECKLIST

How to keep your home office up and running

A home office move succeeds if data, devices and internet are sorted out beforehand. You should tick off these points before the move – ideally two to three weeks ahead, so that there is still time for a technician's appointment.

Back up data

Before dismantling, back up important files in the cloud or on an external drive that you transport yourself – not in the removal van.

Coordinate work devices

A laptop, monitor or headset from your employer belongs to the company. Ask IT how the devices are transported and insured before they go into the box.

Order internet early

Notify your internet provider of the move as early as possible – a new connection often needs a technician's appointment at the new flat.

Mobile backup

Check whether your mobile plan has enough data for a few days of hotspot use. That bridges the time until the new router is running.

Protect documents

Confidential files belong in closed, labelled boxes that you keep an eye on yourself – your employer may also require this.

Report your address

After moving in, the HR department needs your new address – also because the address of your home office workspace changes.

FEW BELONGINGS

Only the desk? Part load

Ideal for a few items

Sometimes it is not the whole flat that moves but only the home office – for example to a spare room at relatives' or to a second home. A part load is suitable for a desk, office chair and a few boxes: your belongings travel along with other orders, and the time window is more flexible than with your own transport.

TOPICS IN PART 12

Technology,
data and connection

We take care of every detail

The twelfth part of our series Moving for working people is about the home office: how to back up data, transport work devices and have the internet connection moved in good time. If you sort out these three points early, you can work again the day after the move. If your job is moving to another city, read more under long-distance moves.

Data and devices

For a private move as for a student move: data backup before dismantling, the laptop in your own luggage, monitors padded and upright – and work devices by arrangement with your employer's IT department, which handles transport and insurance.

Set up the desk first

With a packing service, furniture transport and small transport, your workspace is ready by the evening of moving day – desk, chair and monitor come first in the new flat.

When the company moves

If the office itself is moving, an office move, company move or public authority move is the employer's business. For individual pieces of office furniture at home, a part load or a furniture taxi fits.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions on moving your home office

Answers on the internet connection, work devices, data backup and your first working day after the move.

For an average private move we recommend planning at least two to three days of leave, ideally around a weekend. With a professional moving service, the leave you need is often reduced to one day, as we take care of packing and transport. That leaves enough time to set up the new flat without work-related stress.

Dismantle the workspace last, set it up first

If you work from home until the day before, the desk stays in place until the end. On your last working evening, pack cables, mouse and keyboard into a labelled box, back up your data and take the laptop and charger with you yourself. Monitors travel best in their original packaging or well padded and upright.

In the new flat the workspace is set up first: desk, chair, power strip. That way you can work the next morning, even if boxes are still standing around. You will find tips on setting up in the article A home office in your new home.

Internet at the new address: what § 60 TKG says

When you move, your provider must deliver the contracted service at your new place of residence without changing the contract term, if it offers the service there; it may charge a fee for this that does not exceed the price of a new connection (§ 60 TKG, Telecommunications Act). If it offers no connection at the new address, you can cancel with one month's notice.

So notify the provider of the move early – a technician's appointment is often needed. Until then a mobile hotspot helps. Also let your employer know in case you need to work in the office for a day or two.

What a home office move costs

Whether a 1-room flat from €359 or a 4-room flat from €1,344 – our prices are based on the actual effort. 2-room flats from €594 and 3-room flats from €894 are also fairly calculated. For houses and villas there is an individual quote; we charge long-distance moves from €4.20/km. Arrange your free survey today.

What sets the price

If you want to estimate the price of your move, you should take into account the volume, distance (from €4.20/km), floor and whether there is a lift. A no-parking zone (Halteverbotszone) can also cause additional costs. Extra services such as furniture assembly and a part load can be booked as options.

Services for your workspace and flat

From the desk to the whole flat – these services are available individually.

Furniture transport – for individual items or whole rooms.
House clearance – we dispose of unwanted items in an environmentally conscious way.
Private move – your change of flat, professionally supported.
Company move – moving logistics for businesses of any size.
Move with assembly – an all-round carefree package with assembly service.
