Urgent move: moving fast when it cannot wait
An urgent move is a move that has to take place within a few days, for example after a separation, with a sudden admission to a care home or when your home has to be vacated unexpectedly. We work with a large team and our own trucks and moving lifts. That is why we can in many cases start within 24 to 48 hours, including evenings and weekends. Call us or fill in the form; on business days you get a response within an hour.
When do you need an urgent move?
These are the situations for which people call us most often at short notice.
Separation or break-up
We move your part of the household to your new address or into storage.
Sudden admission to care
A room in a care home or nursing home often becomes available unexpectedly. We move what comes along and can clear the home afterwards.

More about moving with storageHow fast can you move at short notice?
In many cases we can start within 24 to 48 hours. Our schedule normally runs about eight weeks ahead, but there is often still room at short notice. Call as soon as you know you have to move, and we will look straight away at what is possible.

Evenings and weekends
We also move outside normal working hours, for example in the evening or at the weekend.
Our own trucks and lifts
Our own trucks and 18 moving lifts of our own, from our branches in Katwijk, Rotterdam and Tilburg.
Packing included
Our movers can also pack, dismantle and assemble, so that you do not have to do that in a few days.
How an urgent move works
From the first call to moving day in four steps.
Call or fill in the form
Tell us when you have to move and what needs to come along. On business days you get a response within an hour.
Survey at short notice
Your account manager looks at your belongings, at your home or by video call, and prepares the quote.
Moving day
The movers and their foreman load, transport and put everything in its place. We arrange packing and a moving lift as well if needed.
Storage or clearing
What cannot go to the new address yet goes into storage. If you wish, we hand over the old home empty and swept clean.

Even when it has to be fast: one dedicated account manager
An urgent move often comes at a time when a lot is already going on. That is why you have one account manager from the first contact, who makes the schedule and stays reachable until after the last box. Our movers have a VOG and VCA and handle your situation discreetly.
- You only have to explain your situation once.
- The agreements are in the work order, so that everyone knows what needs to be done.
- Even at short notice we drive electric where possible, with 27 electric vehicles.
