We are here for you088 321 99 00Senior move, arranged at your pace
A senior move is a move in which we do more than transport: we pack, set up the new home and hand over the old home empty and swept clean. We do this for seniors who are downsizing and for moves to sheltered housing, a senior apartment or a care home. One dedicated account manager guides you and your family from the survey until after the last box.
Help with a senior move: choose what you hand over
You decide how much we take on. At the survey you discuss with your account manager what suits your situation; that is recorded in the work order.
Packing and unpacking service
We pack your belongings and unpack everything again in the new home.

Usable items go to a charity shop we work with. We dispose of the rest.
Temporary storage
For items that cannot come along yet or that you want to keep for the family: stored climate-controlled in a sealed container.
More about moving with storageMoving to an apartment, sheltered housing or a care home
Most senior moves go from large to small. Not everything can come along, and that makes the preparation different from an ordinary move. So we start with what you are taking and plan the rest around it.
Downsizing
At the survey you go through with your account manager what comes along, what goes to family and what we dispose of or take to the charity shop.
Sheltered housing or a senior apartment
We come with compact trucks that fit in narrow streets and with a moving lift, so that as little as possible has to go via the stairs.
Care home or nursing home
We move the furniture and belongings that come along to the room and put them in place there. After that we clear the home.

Setting up and handing over
In the new home we put everything in its place. Then we clear the old home and hand it over swept clean.
