Our services in Vlaardingen

Moving in Vlaardingen, on both sides of the A20

Holy lies north of the A20; the centre, the Oostwijk, the Westwijk and the Babberspolder lie south of it. For a move, the difference is mostly the type of home, from pre-war upstairs flats to high-rise. We move out of Vlaardingen, to Schiedam or Rotterdam for example, and into it.

Local points to watch

What we take into account in Vlaardingen

In Vlaardingen, the type of home largely decides how moving day goes: a steep staircase in the Oostwijk calls for something different from a tower block in Holy. Add to that the parking rules in the centre and the rules for large vehicles.

Have your address checked

Upstairs flats in the Oostwijk

The Oostwijk was largely built before the war and has many upstairs flats with steep stairs. We lower large furniture through the window on our moving lift, so the stairs stay free for the boxes.

High-rise in Holy

Holy, especially the Vogelbuurt, has a lot of high-rise. We protect the lift car and bring enough movers to cover the distance from lift to van quickly. You book the lift with the building manager, and we put the time in the work order.

Paid parking

In the centre and the Oostwijk, street parking is paid from Monday to Saturday, 9.00 to 19.00. A removal van can easily be there all day. You arrange a space close to your door with the municipality beforehand, or we do so on request as an extra service.

Rules for large vehicles

In Vlaardingen, a vehicle longer than 6 metres or taller than 2.4 metres counts as large. It may stand in your street while we load or unload, but afterwards has to park on a business park. We plan two-day moves accordingly.

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).

Our people

Moving is a profession, not a side job

In the Oostwijk our movers lower large furniture through the window with the moving lift, because many pre-war upstairs flats there have steep stairs. That keeps the stairs free for the boxes. In the high-rise blocks of Holy they protect the lift car and bring enough people to cover the distance between lift and van quickly.

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

From the Westwijk to Holy: districts of Vlaardingen

South of the A20 are the centre and the older districts, north of it lies Holy. For your move, what matters most is the stairs, the lift and how close the van can get to your front door.

€ 125,000insured in transit, with no excess13thfloor: the reach of our own moving lift

Centrum

Around the Oude Haven, historic buildings line the Oosthavenkade and Westhavenkade, and parking in the centre is paid. For the older buildings we check whether the stairs will do or whether the moving lift is needed.

Centrum · Hoogstad · Indische Buurt

Oostwijk

Largely pre-war, with many upstairs flats and a protected townscape. Paid parking and narrow stairs shape the preparation here: a space for the van, the lift at the window and dismantling where needed.

Hofbuurt · Oostbuurt · Vijfsluizen

Westwijk

Mid-rise blocks with many apartments, mixed with family houses and plenty of green space. For apartments without a lift we bring the moving lift; where a strip of grass lies between road and door, we check the walking route beforehand.

Wetering · Lage Weide · Zuidbuurt · Hoogkamer

Vlaardinger Ambacht

1930s houses in old Ambacht and 1950s homes in the Babberspolder, where some renewal is under way. We watch for steep stairs in the older houses and for building traffic in streets where work is going on.

Babberspolder Noord · Babberspolder Oost · Oranjebuurt · 't Nieuwe Lant

Holy

Flats and high-rise, particularly in the Vogelbuurt, alongside areas of family houses and detached homes. In the flats we book the lift; for detached houses we include the loft, shed and garden furniture in the survey.

How it works

Practical matters for your move in Vlaardingen

Most of the arrangements for a move in Vlaardingen concern the street and the building. Your account manager puts them in the work order, so the movers know where the van will stand and which lift they will use.

A space for the van

Where parking is paid or space is tight, we check with the municipality of Vlaardingen what the removal van needs. On request we put up the signs in good time, as an extra service. We do this at both your old and your new address.

Lifts and owners' associations

In the blocks of Holy and the Westwijk, you agree with the building manager or owners' association beforehand which lift we use and what time we may start; on request we take that over, as an extra service. We protect the hall and lift car ourselves.

Dismantling and reassembly

Wardrobes and beds that will not fit up a narrow Oostwijk staircase are taken apart and reassembled at your new address. If you like, our handyman can hang lamps and curtain rails straight away.

New builds and handovers

If you are getting the keys to a new build in the Rivierzone or the Babberspolder, we time moving day around the handover. We check beforehand where the van can stand while building work is still going on in the street.

Frequently asked questions about moving in Vlaardingen

If you have another question about your move in Vlaardingen, call 088 321 99 00 or ask your account manager during the survey.

Ask your question in the request

What does a move in Vlaardingen cost on average?+

The cost of a move in Vlaardingen depends on your belongings, the floor you live on, whether a moving lift is needed and how much extra help you want. An upstairs flat in the Oostwijk therefore works out differently from a family house in Holy. We charge a transparent hourly rate and, after the survey, you receive a no-obligation quote.

What does a moving company cost for one day in Vlaardingen?+

For a moving day you pay for the hours worked by the movers and the van, at an hourly rate set out in the quote beforehand. We estimate the number of hours during the survey, based on your belongings and access at both addresses. Packing, unpacking or furniture assembly are listed separately.

Can a removal van park in my street in Vlaardingen?+

Yes, while we are loading and unloading the van may stand in your street, even if it is longer than 6 metres or taller than 2.4 metres. Otherwise, large vehicles in Vlaardingen may only park on business parks. Parking is also paid in the centre and the Oostwijk; we arrange the space beforehand.

How do you move someone out of a tower block in Holy?+

If the block has a lift, we protect the lift car. You book the lift with the building manager, and we put the time in the work order. If there is no lift, or the sofa will not fit, we use our own moving lift on the façade, which reaches the 13th floor and carries up to 400 kg. During the survey we check where lift and van can stand.

How far ahead should I arrange movers in Vlaardingen?+

Allow about eight weeks, as that is how far ahead our schedule runs. At short notice there is often still room, so get in touch even if it is urgent. Your account manager then plans the survey straight away, so parking and the lift are arranged in time.

Where do my things go if my new home in Vlaardingen is not ready?+

Into a sealed container with us. We load it at your home, seal it in front of you and store it, without reloading, in a climate-controlled hall. As soon as your new home is ready, we deliver it. If you need something in between, we put your container ready for you by appointment.
