Moving in Gouda

Our services in Gouda, from the old centre to Westergouwe

A move can stay within Gouda, from Korte Akkeren to Goverwelle, or take you to Waddinxveen, Bodegraven or further. It always starts with a survey at your home or by video call, followed by a no-obligation quote with a transparent hourly rate. If you live in the old centre, we check the loading hours and the spot for the van straight away.

Gouda's old centre

What we plan for in Gouda

Inside the singels, the ring of canals around the centre, different rules apply than in the rest of the city, and the old buildings need their own approach. These points often shape moving day in Gouda.

Have your Gouda address checked

Pedestrian zone with time windows

Part of the old centre is a pedestrian zone, closed with bollards outside its time windows. Loading is possible early in the morning and in the evening, so we plan for the van to be at your door within those hours.

Market and cheese market

On Thursday mornings and Saturdays the market fills the Markt, and on Thursdays from April to October loading hours are shorter because of the cheese market. If you live close by, we choose another day.

Zero-emission zone inside the singels

Since 1 January 2025 the centre inside the singels has been a zero-emission zone for vans and lorries. Our 27 electric vehicles can enter without an exemption, so there is nothing for you to arrange.

Buildings that sink

Most buildings in the old centre sink with the soft ground, and not all at the same rate, so floors and thresholds aren't level. When we reassemble, we level wardrobes and beds so nothing ends up twisting.

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).

We load everything into a container at your home, which is sealed in front of you and not reloaded on the way. Our 1,000-plus containers stand in automated, climate-controlled halls with 4K AI camera surveillance. If you need something in between, we put your container ready for you by appointment.

Our people

Moving is a trade, not a side job

In Gouda's old centre most buildings sink with the soft ground, so floors and thresholds aren't level. That is why our movers make sure your wardrobe and your bed stand level when they put them back together, so nothing ends up twisting. If your sofa won't go up the steep stairs, they bring in the moving lift.

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 talk to the same person, who knows your situation and your agreements.

Everyone VCA-certified and holding a Certificate of Conduct (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

Moving in Gouda's districts

Outside the old centre, moving in Gouda is often simpler, but every district has its own homes and streets. Below you'll see what we look out for at the survey in each one.

€ 125,000insured in transit, with no excess27electric vehicles, allowed in the zero-emission zone

Binnenstad (old centre)

Canals, narrow streets and buildings with steep stairs. We plan within the time windows, find a spot for the van and use the moving lift when a wardrobe won't go up the stairs.

Nieuwe Markt · De Baan · Turfmarkt · Raam · Nieuwe Park

Korte Akkeren

Family homes from the 1920s to the 1950s, built in blocks along planned streets. The stairs in these houses can be narrow, in which case large items go in through the window on our moving lift.

De Korte Akkeren-Oud · De Korte Akkeren-Nieuw · Weidebloemkwartier

Bloemendaal and Plaswijck

Mainly terraced houses and four-storey deck-access flats. In a flat we book the lift or set our moving lift against the façade; at a terraced house we find a spot close to the front door.

Boerhaavekwartier · Windrooskwartier · Groenhovenkwartier · Zomenbuurt · Hoevenbuurt

Goverwelle

A densely built district where in many streets the car is parked in the front garden. The van then stands on the street, sometimes a few doors along. At the survey we agree where it fits.

Sportbuurt · Molenbuurt · Polderbuurt · Componistenbuurt · Muziekbuurt

Practical matters

What needs arranging for your move in Gouda

Your account manager keeps track of what needs arranging around moving day and who does what. We take on most of it, including these four things that often come up in Gouda.

Exemption outside the time windows

If the move can't fit within the loading hours, we can apply to the municipality on request for an exemption, at least ten working days ahead. It isn't always granted for moves, so we plan within the time windows first.

Moving lift for steep stairs

In old buildings and pre-war houses, the stairs are often too narrow for a wardrobe or sofa. It then goes in through the window on our electric moving lift, which handles loads up to 400 kg.

Parking space and signs

On-street parking in the old centre is paid, and in busy streets a space for the van isn't a given. On request we apply for one and put the signs out close to your front door; that is an extra service.

Storage for new builds

Westergouwe is still being built and a handover date can slip. Your belongings then stay sealed in our storage until you have the keys, and we deliver everything in one trip.

Frequently asked questions about moving in Gouda

If your question isn't here, or you'd like an answer for your own address, call 088 321 99 00.

Ask your question in the request

How much does a removal company in Gouda cost?+

In Gouda, your belongings, access at both addresses and what you do yourself decide how many hours we need, and so the price. A canal house with steep stairs takes longer than a terraced home in Goverwelle with the van outside. Our hourly rate is transparent and appears with the expected time in the no-obligation quote after the survey.

Can a removal van enter Gouda's old centre?+

Yes, within the rules. The centre inside the singels is a zero-emission zone, and our electric vehicles are allowed in. The pedestrian zone is only open for loading within set time windows; outside them you need an exemption, which we can apply for on request at least ten working days ahead.

Which day is best avoided for a move in Gouda's centre?+

If you live on or near the Markt, avoid Thursday mornings and Saturdays, when the general market is held there. On Thursdays from April to October, loading hours in the pedestrian zone are also shorter because of the cheese market. At the survey we choose a day that works together.

How do you get furniture into an old building with narrow stairs?+

Through the window on our electric moving lift, if it won't go up the stairs. The lift carries up to 400 kg, enough for a wardrobe or sofa. At the survey we check there's room for the lift in front of the window.

What is the cheapest way to move in Gouda?+

Pack yourself and leave only the heavy work to us, because you pay per hour worked. Also pick a day when the van can stand at your door within the loading hours, with no market. The less walking or waiting we have to do, the fewer hours you pay for.

How far ahead should I book movers in Gouda?+

Our schedule runs eight weeks ahead, so two months gives you plenty of choice. Even at short notice there's often still room. If you live in the old centre and need an exemption, allow at least ten working days for the municipality's application.

What do I arrange myself with the municipality of Gouda?+

You register your new address yourself, up to four weeks before and no later than five days after the move, online with DigiD. If you're moving to a street with permit parking, you can apply once to ParkeerService Gouda for a moving permit for your own car, valid for four months. On request we apply for the exemption for the van.
