Moving to a flat without a lift, without complications
Floors without a lift are one of the most common factors that change a move's price. Here's what to know so everything stays predictable.
Why the floor affects price
Every floor carried on stairs adds real handling time — not just physical effort, but extra minutes for every piece of furniture or heavy box.
Items needing special care
Fridges, large sofas, wardrobes and king-size mattresses are hardest to manoeuvre on narrow or turning stairs. Mention them in advance.
How to prepare a no-lift move
Clear the access corridor, protect wall corners if needed, and disassemble large pieces beforehand where possible.
How much extra time it adds
Depends on the floor and volume, but a floor without a lift can add anywhere from a few minutes to an extra hour compared to a move with a working lift.
How to reduce handling time
Smaller, more numerous boxes are easier to carry than large heavy ones. Disassembling bulky furniture before moving day helps a lot.
When Transport + Help is worth it
If the floor is high (above 3) or the volume is large, the package with handling help reduces total time and damage risk.

What customers ask before transport
How is the price calculated for floors without a lift?
You give the exact floor at pickup and delivery — the extra handling time is reflected directly and transparently in the estimate.
Can you move a large fridge without a lift?
Yes, with the right team and preparation — tell us the dimensions so we come prepared.
Does it help to disassemble furniture beforehand?
Yes, a lot — disassembled pieces are easier to carry on stairs and reduce total move time.
What if only one address has no lift?
The estimate accounts for each address separately — just tell us clearly for both.
