If you have heavy and complex objects to move, it is wiser to use professionals, even for short distances:

– When your move does not require the transport of large goods, the service offered by moving companies is called “internal handling”.

– The process of protecting your goods (insurance, valuation, estimate, etc.) is identical to that of a traditional move.

The most important step in deciding is the calculation of the volume to be moved.

Go on the Internet to make an estimate: if the result is more than 20 m³, we advise you to hire a mover.
