House shifting in Rawalpindi, lanes to societies

House shifting in Rawalpindi: three different cities in one

Rawalpindi is really three places. There is the old city around Raja Bazaar, Saddar and Murree Road, with narrow lanes, tall old houses and busy markets. There are the cantonments: Rawalpindi Cantt, Chaklala and Westridge, with wide roads and security checks. And there are the fast-growing societies: Bahria Town, DHA, Gulraiz, and the long line of housing schemes along Adiala Road and Chakri Road. House shifting in Rawalpindi needs a different plan for each.

Old city homes

In the lanes off Raja Bazaar, Banni and the older mohallas, a container cannot reach most doors. For these moves we:

• Start before the shops open and the lanes fill
• Use a Shehzore to shuttle goods to a container on the main road
• Send extra people for steep, narrow staircases
• Wrap everything well, because goods are handled more often on a shuttle move

Cantonment houses

Many families in the cantonments are on postings. Entry involves security checks at the gate, so we share the driver's CNIC, the vehicle number and our team list in advance and keep to the timings you are given. Cantonment houses are often older bungalows with heavy furniture and many rooms.

Society homes

Bahria Town, DHA and the Adiala Road schemes have gated entries that check goods vehicles. Our supervisor deals with the gate on the day.

Roads and traffic

Murree Road, with the Metro Bus above it, Committee Chowk, Saddar and Faizabad are slow at most hours. Peshawar Road and the GT Road carry heavy trucks. House shifting in Rawalpindi works best early in the morning, before the city's traffic builds, with the container leaving the old city before the markets open.

Monsoon and Nullah Leh

In heavy monsoon rain, Nullah Leh can overflow and flood low areas of the city and some roads. We watch the forecast in July and August and move the date rather than drive a loaded container through flooded streets.

Twin-city moves

Many families move between Rawalpindi and Islamabad: from Satellite Town to G-13, from Bahria Town to DHA Islamabad, from Saddar to I-8. These are short runs, usually finished in a day. See house shifting in Islamabad.

What house shifting in Rawalpindi includes

• Packing every room in 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, loaded within the legal limit
• A supervisor from packing to setting up

Choosing house shifting in Rawalpindi

Ask how the company will reach your door in the old city, how it handles cantonment entry, and whether the quotation is in writing. A company that only knows the new societies may struggle in Raja Bazaar.

Army and government postings

Rawalpindi has more families on postings than almost any other city. When the posting comes before the new house is ready, we pack, store your goods in our warehouse in Rawalpindi and deliver when you are ready.

House shifting from Rawalpindi to other cities

Lahore is down the M-2, Peshawar up the M-1, Jhelum and Gujrat along the GT Road, and Karachi through Punjab and Sindh. For a small home, a shared load costs less. Send your car with our car carrier in Rawalpindi.
