Moving in Voorschoten

What we move for you in Voorschoten

Voorschoten has a lot of flats, in the centre and in the neighbourhoods from the 1950s to the 1970s, alongside terraced houses in Bijdorp and Starrenburg and new builds along the Vliet. On moving day that often means a stairwell, a shared lift or the moving lift against the facade. Your account manager assesses it during the survey, and you get a quote based on a transparent hourly rate.

What differs per street

What we plan for when moving in Voorschoten

Voorschoten has a partly car-free shopping centre, a lot of flats and new builds still under construction. That decides where the van can stand and what needs to be applied for in advance. During the survey we always go through these four points.

Let us check your street

Car-free shopping centre

The Schoolstraat is a pedestrian zone, and the Treubstraat and the southern part of the Voorstraat are closed to cars. Suppliers may only enter on weekdays between 7.00 and 11.00. If you live there, we can arrange access with the municipality in advance on request, as an extra service.

Van or lift on the road

If the removal van or the moving lift has to stand on the road, partly closing it, you need a traffic exemption from the municipality. It has to be submitted four weeks ahead. On request we submit it for you after the survey, as an extra service.

Post-war flats

In Adegeest, the Vlietwijk and Noord-Hofland many people live in flats. If there is no lift, or it is too small for your wardrobe, we bring large furniture in through the balcony or window with the moving lift.

Construction in Starrenburg III

Starrenburg III is being built between the Veurseweg and the Vliet until 2029. If you move there or live next to it, we allow for construction traffic and a handover date that can shift.

Our people

Moving is a profession, not a side job

If you live above the shops on the Voorstraat, the van cannot always stand at your door, because the shopping centre is partly car-free. Our movers park it as close as they can. In a shared stairwell in Adegeest or the Vlietwijk they protect the stairs and walls, and whatever does not fit through the stairwell goes over the balcony with 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 with 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.

Centre

The old ribbon of the Voorstraat, with many flats above and beside the shops. Because the shopping area is partly car-free, we find the nearest spot for the van in advance and use the moving lift where needed.

Voorstraat · Schoolstraat · Treubstraat

Adegeest, Vlietwijk and Noord-Hofland

Neighbourhoods from the 1950s to the 1970s, with flats and terraced houses. In shared stairwells we protect stairs and walls; anything that won't fit through goes in via the balcony with the moving lift.

Adegeest · Vlietwijk · Noord-Hofland

Bijdorp and Starrenburg

Terraced houses and flats from the 1970s to the 1990s, and detached houses in Starrenburg too. We list the loft, shed and children's rooms separately in the work order, so nothing is left at the end.

Bijdorp · Starrenburg · Starrenburg II

New builds along the Vliet

Park Allemansgeest, with homes from flats to detached villas, and the new Starrenburg III. For flats you book the lift and loading spot with the building manager, and we put that in the work order; for new builds we match the day to the handover.

Practical matters

What needs arranging in Voorschoten

Besides the lifting and carrying, there are things that often come with a move in Voorschoten and that we take care of on request. Your account manager puts them in your work order, so everyone knows who does what on moving day.

Lift and stairwell with the VvE

In an apartment building, you agree in advance with the owners' association or building manager when we use the lift or stairwell; on request we do that for you, as an extra service. On the day, we protect floors, walls and door frames in the shared areas.

To a neighbouring town

When you move to Leiden, Wassenaar or The Hague, both addresses usually fit into a single day. Our electric vehicles may enter the zero-emission zones, so in Leiden's historic centre we unload within the delivery hours without an extra exemption.

Moving in together

When you move in together, we collect from both addresses and bring everything to the new home in one go. Anything you have twice and don't want to part with yet can go into storage for a while.

Out of your home for a while

If you have to leave your home for a while, during a renovation for example, we store your belongings sealed and bring everything back as soon as your home is ready.

Frequently asked questions about moving in Voorschoten

Below are the questions people in Voorschoten ask us most. Missing something? We're on 088 321 99 00.

Ask your question in the request

What does a moving company in Voorschoten cost on average?+

There is no real average, because the cost depends on your belongings, the floor you live on, whether there is a lift or moving lift and which extra services you choose. The hourly rate is transparent and stated in the quote. After a survey at your home or by video, you receive a no-obligation quote with the hours and equipment for your move.

What is the cheapest day to move in Voorschoten?+

There is no fixed cheapest day, because you pay for the hours we work. You do have more choice in mid-month and on weekdays than at the end of the month. If your date is flexible, you can pick a quieter day on which nobody needs to rush.

How does a mover's hourly rate work?+

The hourly rate covers the movers and equipment we use, and you see it in the quote beforehand. During the survey we estimate the number of hours based on your belongings, the stairs, the distance and any moving lift. That way you can see in advance where the costs come from.

Do I need an exemption for the removal van in Voorschoten?+

Only if the van or the moving lift stands on the road and partly closes it. Then you need a traffic exemption from the municipality of Voorschoten, applied for four weeks ahead. Access to the car-free part of the centre has to be arranged separately. We check your address during the survey; on request we apply for you, as an extra service.

How far ahead should I book movers in Voorschoten?+

Ideally about eight weeks ahead, especially if your date is fixed. Our schedule looks eight weeks ahead, but short-notice slots often still come up. If a traffic exemption is needed, it has to reach the municipality four weeks ahead, so anything shorter gets tight.

Where can I store my belongings when moving in Voorschoten?+

In our climate-controlled storage in Katwijk, close to Voorschoten. At your home we load everything into a container, seal it in your presence and drive it to Katwijk without reloading. When your new home is ready, the container comes to your new address. With automatic self storage you can reach your things in between.
