House shifting in Multan, planned around the heat

House shifting in Multan, street by street

Multan is a city of contrasts. The old walled city has narrow lanes, tall old houses and busy shops. The colonies built around it, such as Gulgasht, Shah Rukn-e-Alam Colony, Model Town and New Multan, have family houses on wider streets. The newer societies along Bosan Road and the bypass, such as DHA Multan, Wapda Town, Buch Villas and Royal Orchard, have bigger houses and gates. House shifting in Multan has to fit each of these.

Moving in the old walled city

Homes inside the old city, near Haram Gate, Bohar Gate, Delhi Gate and Hussain Agahi, sit on lanes where a container cannot turn. For these moves we:

• Load early, before the shops open and the lanes fill
• Use a Shehzore to shuttle goods to a bigger vehicle on the main road
• Send extra hands for the steep stairs and narrow doors of older houses
• Dismantle large beds and wardrobes so they fit through doorways

Moving in the colonies

Gulgasht Colony, Shah Rukn-e-Alam Colony, Model Town, Mumtazabad, New Multan and Shalimar Colony have family houses of 5 to 10 marla, often with an upper portion let out. These moves are straightforward, but we check whether the street is wide enough for a 20 ft container and whether neighbours' cars need to be moved.

Moving in DHA, Wapda Town and the new societies

DHA Multan, Wapda Town, Buch Villas, Royal Orchard and the societies along Bosan Road and Vehari Road have planned roads and 10 marla to 1 kanal houses with heavier furniture, more ACs and bigger kitchens. Most check goods vehicles at the gate, so we share the vehicle number, driver details and team list in advance when asked.

The heat and your goods

Multan is one of the hottest cities in Pakistan. In May, June and July, house shifting in Multan starts at dawn. Heat affects goods as well as people:

• Polished furniture can mark if it stands in the sun, so it is wrapped and loaded first
• Electronics stay in the shade and travel in a closed container
• Candles, cosmetics and medicines are packed separately and kept with you
• Fridges should be emptied and defrosted the night before

How house shifting in Multan works

1. Survey of your home, by visit or video call
2. Written quotation with the vehicle, team, date and packing
3. Packing with cartons, bubble wrap, blankets and stretch film
4. Labelling of every carton by room
5. Loading by our trained team, heavy items at the bottom
6. Unloading and setting up at the new home, beds fitted and ACs installed if booked

Packing that suits Multan homes

Multan homes often have heavy wooden furniture, carved beds and showcases full of crockery. We wrap wood in blankets, pack glass and crockery in bubble wrap and double cartons, and keep table tops and mirrors upright. Blue pottery and other fragile decorative pieces get their own cartons, marked fragile.

Shifting from Multan to other cities

Multan sits in the middle of the country. From here we shift homes north to Faisalabad, Lahore, Islamabad and Rawalpindi on the M-4 and motorways, and south to Bahawalpur, Sukkur, Hyderabad and Karachi on the M-5. For long runs we load in the morning and drive at the cooler time of day. For storage during a move, see our warehouse in Multan.

Choosing house shifting in Multan

Ask any mover how they plan for the heat, how they reach homes in the old city, whether the quote is in writing and whether a supervisor stays on the job. Our house shifting in Multan answers all of these in writing before the move.
