Moving in Dordrecht

Our moving services in Dordrecht, from old town to Dubbeldam

Dordrecht combines an old town full of listed buildings and narrow streets with post-war districts such as Krispijn and Sterrenburg and newer ones like Stadspolders. Each address needs its own approach. We also move you between Dordrecht and Rotterdam, Zwijndrecht or Papendrecht. You choose whether we just move you or also pack, dismantle and reassemble.

What Dordrecht asks for

Four things we take into account in Dordrecht

A move in Dordrecht often comes down to timing: when the van may enter the old town, and how long the council takes to grant an exemption. On top of that, listed buildings and high-rise each need their own equipment.

Let us check your address

Car-restricted old town

In the car-restricted part of the old town, you may only load and unload without an exemption in the morning until 11.00 and in the evening; exact times vary by street. We plan loading within those hours; on request we apply for an exemption, as an extra service.

Exemptions well in advance

If the van has to stand where that is normally not allowed, an RVV exemption is needed. If you apply less than six weeks ahead, the council cannot guarantee it will be ready in time. On request we apply for you as soon as your date is set, as an extra service.

Historic merchants' houses

Along the old harbours stand merchants' houses with original staircases and landings. We protect banisters and treads, and dismantle wardrobes that will not fit through the stairwell rather than forcing them.

High-rise in Sterrenburg

The oldest part of Sterrenburg is mainly flats. You book the lift with the building manager; on request we do that for you, as an extra service. For large items we bring our own moving lift, which reaches the 13th floor and carries loads of up to 400 kg.

Independently certified

Four certifications, externally audited every year

Every year Kiwa audits us on quality (ISO 9001), the environment (ISO 14001), safe working (VCA) and information security (ISO 27001).

Storage as part of your move

Storage for Dordrecht residents caught between two homes

Selling an old-town property while waiting for a new build can mean you need storage for weeks or months. Your belongings go into a container at your home, which we seal in front of you and which is not reloaded along the way. It then stands in an automated, climate-controlled hall with 4K AI camera surveillance, one of more than 1,000 containers we own. With mobile storage, the container comes to your Dordrecht address instead.

Our people

Moving is a profession, not a side job

The original staircase of a merchant's house along the old harbours is the first thing our movers cover, banister and treads, and a wardrobe too big for the stairwell is taken apart rather than forced. On the residential courts of Stadspolders we match the team to the walking route, because the van cannot always reach your front door.

An experienced foreman on your moving day

The foreman directs the movers and knows the survey and the work order, so you don't have to explain anything twice.

One dedicated account manager from start to finish

From the survey until after the last box, you speak to the same person, who knows your situation and your agreements.

Everyone VCA-certified and holding a VOG

Our movers work to the VCA standard for safe working and hold a VOG (Dutch certificate of conduct). After all, they come into your home and among your belongings.

Districts of Dordrecht

Moving within the districts of Dordrecht

From the medieval old town to the courtyards of Stadspolders, what differs by district in Dordrecht is how close the van can get to your door and whether things go via the stairs, the building's lift or our moving lift.

€ 125,000insured in transit, with no excess27electric vehicles powered by solar energy we generate

Binnenstad

Narrow streets, listed buildings and merchants' houses along the harbours, largely car-restricted. We plan loading around the access hours, find a spot for the van beforehand and protect old stairs and floors.

Groenmarkt · Wijnstraat · Kalkhaven · Lombard · Nieuwe Haven

Krispijn

Oud-Krispijn has housing blocks from the 1920s, partly renovated, with Nieuw-Krispijn next to it. During the survey we check whether the stairs will do or whether large items go out through the window on the moving lift.

Krispijnse Driehoek · Zuidendijk · Bloemenbuurt · Weizigtpark

Sterrenburg

Flats in the oldest part of the district, family houses in the newer parts. In the flats you arrange the lift with the building manager, and we put that in the work order; for the houses we look at the stairs, loft and shed.

Sterrenburg 1-West · Sterrenburg 1-Oost · Waterman · Mildenburg · Zuilenburg

Dubbeldam

An old village core surrounded by newer housing, and in De Hoven large homes on generous plots. A large household needs more movers and sometimes a second van; we work that out during the survey.

Vissersdijk-Beneden · Dubbeldam-Noord · Dubbeldam-Zuid · De Hoven · Belthure Park

Stadspolders

A district from the 1980s and 1990s where many streets are courtyards, known as erven, and the van cannot always reach the front door. We work out the walking route during the survey and plan the team around it.

Before moving day

What needs sorting out in advance in Dordrecht

Because the municipality of Dordrecht needs time to issue an exemption, our preparation starts straight after the survey. Your account manager puts everything in the work order, so the movers know when and where they can load.

Exemption and signs

On request we apply to the municipality of Dordrecht for the RVV exemption for the removal van, keep an eye on the deadline and put up the signs on moving day; it is then listed in your quote as an extra service. That way the van can legally stand close to your door.

Piano or grand piano

If you have a piano or grand piano, we move it with our own equipment and experienced movers. We never take it via the stairs: from an upper floor it goes through the window or over the balcony, with the moving lift or our own truck-mounted crane.

Mobile storage at home

If you are renovating before you move in, our mobile storage brings a container to your address, so your things stay close by while the work is done. How long it stays, you agree with your account manager.

On and off the island

If you are moving between Dordrecht and Rotterdam, Zwijndrecht or Papendrecht, we load in the order in which we will unload at your new address. That way everything goes straight into the right room.

Frequently asked questions about moving in Dordrecht

If you have a question about your own address in Dordrecht, call 088 321 99 00. During the survey, your account manager goes through every detail with you.

Ask your question in the request

On average, what does a moving company in Dordrecht cost?+

An average price says little, because the cost of a move in Dordrecht depends on your belongings, the floor, access and the extra help you want. A merchant's house in the old town takes more time than a family house in Sterrenburg. The hourly rate is transparent and, after the survey, is set out in a no-obligation quote.

What is the cheapest way to move in Dordrecht?+

The most economical way is to do what you can yourself and only hand over the heavy work, for example by packing your own boxes. Because we charge by the hour, every hour you do yourself saves money. A well-arranged space for the van and the right lift also make moving day shorter.

How early should you book a moving company in Dordrecht?+

As early as possible: our schedule runs about eight weeks ahead, although at short notice there is often still room. If you live in or are moving to the old town, the exemption counts too: the council asks you to apply well in advance and does not guarantee it in time with less than six weeks' notice.

Do I need an exemption to load in Dordrecht's old town?+

Only if you load outside the access hours or the van stands where that is normally not allowed. In the car-restricted area you may load and unload without an exemption in the morning until 11.00 and in the evening, with slightly different times per street. We check what applies at your address; on request we can apply for the exemption for you, as an extra service.

Is Dordrecht introducing a zero-emission zone?+

No, the coalition has agreed not to introduce a zero-emission zone during the 2026 to 2030 term. For your move it makes little difference: our 27 electric vehicles can go anywhere, including Rotterdam's zero-emission zone if you are moving in that direction.

How do you move out of a listed building in the old town?+

Carefully and with extra preparation: we protect the stairs, banisters, landings and window frames, and dismantle wardrobes that will not fit through the stairwell. Where possible, large items go out through the window on our moving lift. During the survey we decide together which route is safest for the building and your belongings.
