House shifting in Lahore, portion to kanal

House shifting in Lahore, measured in marla

Ask a Lahori about their house and they will tell you its size in marla or kanal before anything else. That size tells us most of what we need to plan house shifting in Lahore: the vehicle, the number of people and the time the job will take.

Renting portions is very common in Lahore, so many moves are an upper portion with a narrow outside staircase. These take care: furniture is wrapped so it does not scrape the walls, and we send enough hands for the stairs.

Societies, gates and timing

Most new house moves in Lahore are into or out of a housing society: DHA, Bahria Town, Lake City, Valencia, Askari, EME, Wapda Town and many more. Their gates usually:

• Check every goods vehicle and note its number
• Ask for the driver's details or a move-out note from the estate office
• Allow moving only in daytime hours

We tell you what your society needs when you book. On the day, our supervisor deals with the gate so you do not have to.

Old Lahore and the older colonies

House shifting in Lahore is a different job in the older areas: Ichhra, Mughalpura, Samanabad, Shadman, Krishan Nagar and the streets around the Walled City. Lanes are narrow, parking is scarce and many houses have steep inside stairs. Here we start early, use a Shehzore to shuttle goods to a container on the main road, and send extra people.

House shifting in Lahore across the city

Many families move from the older central areas toward the newer societies in the south and east: from Samanabad to Johar Town, from Gulberg to DHA, from Model Town to Bahria Town or Lake City. These moves use the Ring Road, Canal Road or Ferozepur Road, all slow at school and office hours. We load in the morning and drive across the city before the afternoon rush.

Lahore weather and your goods

Weather shapes house shifting in Lahore more than people expect. June brings 45-degree days, so we start packing at first light and keep electronics and polished furniture out of the sun. The monsoon brings heavy showers, so everything travels in a closed container and sofas are wrapped in stretch film. In winter, fog and smog can close the motorways for hours, which matters for intercity moves; we follow the motorway updates on the day.

What house shifting in Lahore includes

• Packing every room with cartons, bubble wrap and stretch film
• Dismantling and fitting beds, wardrobes and dining tables
• Taking down and fitting split ACs, fans and LEDs
• A closed container sized to your marla or kanal
• A supervisor from packing to setting up
