Our Furniture Moving Services in Riyadh
Furniture Dismantling and Reassembly
Bedroom sets, wardrobes, dressing tables, tables and TV units, plus flat-pack furniture from IKEA and Home Centre. We dismantle each piece with the right tools for it, bag the screws in numbered bags tied to their piece, then reassemble everything in the new home and adjust the doors and drawers.
Packing
Moving blankets for wooden furniture, stretch film and fabric covers for sofas, bubble wrap and heavy-duty cardboard for TVs and mirrors, and packing paper with double-wall boxes for kitchenware. Full details are on our packing furniture for moving page.
AC Units and Appliances
A technician removes split AC units, pumps the gas down into the outdoor unit, and installs them again at the new home. Fridges and washing machines travel upright and secured.
Furniture Hoist and High Floors
When a large wardrobe will not fit in the lift or up the stairs, we lower or raise it with a hoist through the balcony or a window, once we have made sure the spot is safe.
Temporary Storage
If the handover of your new home is delayed, we keep your furniture wrapped and numbered in temporary storage and deliver it as soon as the house is ready.
Which Vehicle Does Your Move Need?
| Vehicle | Approximate load | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| Dabab (small pickup) | One or two items | A fridge, a sofa, or a pickup from a showroom |
| Wanet (pickup) | One or two rooms | A bachelor flat or household appliances |
| Small dyna (light truck) | A two-bedroom apartment | A small apartment with its living room |
| Large dyna or closed truck | A three-bedroom apartment or larger, or a villa | Whole homes and moves outside Riyadh |
For a few items, a wanet furniture move in Riyadh is enough. For a whole home, one trip in a dyna or truck works out cheaper than many wanet trips.

What Changes the Price in Riyadh Specifically?
- Distance across the city: Al Malqa to Al Aziziyah is a different job from a move within the same district.
- The district and the building: older buildings in Al Malaz, Al Batha and Al Dirah often have no lift, so the job needs more hands and more time.
- Small lifts: common in many new towers in north Riyadh, so large pieces may need dismantling or the hoist.
- The season: the end of the school year, the end of the month and the days before Eid are the busiest times.
Riyadh’s Districts: What Changes from One Side of the City to Another?
| Area | Districts | What we plan for |
|---|---|---|
| North | Al Malqa, Al Yasmin, Al Narjis, Hittin, Al Sahafa, Al Aqiq, Al Qirawan, Al Arid | Towers and compounds with service lifts that must be booked, and entry permits for the vehicle |
| East | Al Naseem, Al Rimal, Al Rawdah, Al Rayyan, Al Munsiyah, Al Yarmuk, Qurtubah, Al Janadriyah | New districts where lifts may not be running yet, and long drives to the west of the city |
| West | Dhahrat Laban, Irqah, Tuwaiq, Al Suwaidi, Namar, Al Uraija, Diriyah | Large villas and wide streets, with sloping roads in some spots |
| South | Al Shifa, Al Aziziyah, Badr, Al Dar Al Baida, Al Mansuriyah, Al Hazm | Older family houses and narrow stairs, so we bring extra crew and dismantle pieces before carrying them down |
| Central | Al Olaya, Al Sulimaniyah, Al Malaz, Al Murabba, Al Batha, Al Dirah, Manfuhah | Daytime traffic and narrow streets, so we prefer an early-morning start |
Packing Furniture Before the Move

Riyadh’s dust and summer heat reach your furniture even on short trips. That is why we pack before we lift a single piece, and we never just throw a blanket over everything. Majlis seating and cushions go in stretch film, dallahs and brass pieces in padded boxes, rugs are rolled and tied without folding, and glass stands upright in cardboard frames. Every box carries a number and the name of its room.
Moving Day, Hour by Hour
| Time | What happens |
|---|---|
| Early morning | The crew arrives, protects the floors and the lift, and goes over the list with you |
| First few hours | Bedrooms and wardrobes are dismantled and fragile items packed |
| Midday | Loading in order: heavy items first and fragile ones on top, then strapping and covering |
| Afternoon | Transport and unloading at the new home, each piece into its own room |
| End of the day | Furniture and AC units reassembled, and every item and box checked with you |
A three-bedroom apartment is usually done in one day, with two or three extra hours if the building has no lift. For a large villa, we may start dismantling and packing the day before the move.

Dismantling and Reassembling Bedrooms

- We empty the wardrobe and drawers into boxes labelled with the room name.
- We take the doors off first and wrap them separately, then the shelves, then the wardrobe frame.
- We dismantle the bed and wrap its upholstered headboard in film and a cover.
- Screws and handles go into a bag tied to their piece.
- At the new home we reassemble in reverse order and adjust the doors until they close flush.
Tricky Situations We Know How to Handle
- The lift is out of order on moving day: we carry by the stairs with extra crew, or leave the large pieces for the hoist.
- The wardrobe is bigger than the doorway: we dismantle it if possible, and if it is a single piece we use the hoist.
- Pianos, antiques and paintings: padded wooden crates and separate securing inside the truck.
- Aquariums and medical equipment: emptied and packed in a specific way, with the move arranged together with the owner.
- Residential compounds: we send the vehicle and driver details in advance for the entry permit.
Professional Movers or Casual Street Labour?
| Professional movers | Labour with no company behind them | |
|---|---|---|
| Price | Agreed before the move, with what it includes | Often changes after loading |
| Packing | The right material for each piece | A blanket, or nothing |
| Dismantling and reassembly | Proper tools and numbered parts | Lost screws and broken pieces |
| Accountability | A clear company that follows up with you | Nobody once they leave |
Appliances Before Loading and After Arrival
We ask you to switch off and empty the fridge before moving day; we tape the doors shut and load it upright. The washing machine is drained and its drum locked, and the cooker is disconnected from the gas by a technician or the homeowner. AC units are removed by a technician who keeps the gas in, and installed at the new home once the openings and lines have been checked. After arrival we leave the fridge standing for a few hours before switching it on, because that is what protects the compressor after a long journey.
Inventory and Records Before the Truck Moves
Before loading, we write up a list with you of the large pieces and the number of boxes, photograph valuable items and their condition, and put each set of screws in a numbered bag tied to its piece. This is the list we go through with you at handover in the new home, so nothing goes missing and there is no dispute about the condition of any piece.
Office and Company Moves in Riyadh
We move offices and businesses within Riyadh: desks, chairs, filing cabinets, equipment and meeting tables. Every item is numbered by department and by room in the new premises, and we move at the weekend or after working hours so your business does not stop. Desks are set up in place according to the floor plan you send us.
Moves to Governorates Near Riyadh
We move from Riyadh to Al Kharj, Diriyah, Al Muzahimiyah, Huraymila, Dirma, Al Dawadmi, Shaqra, Al Majmaah and Al Zulfi, and most of these moves are finished in a single day. For details on Al Kharj, see furniture moving from Riyadh to Al Kharj.
Night and Holiday Moves
Some buildings and compounds in Riyadh do not allow moves at certain times, and some families prefer to move at the weekend. We move on the days and at the times that suit you once we have agreed them, and in summer we like to start early, before the heat builds.
Furniture Moving from Riyadh to Cities Across the Kingdom
If you are moving out of Riyadh, each route has its own page with the distance, timing and prices:
- Furniture moving from Riyadh to Jeddah: about 950 km.

The full list is on our furniture moving cities page.
Busy Moving Seasons in Riyadh
Demand in Riyadh rises at the end of the school year, when families move before the new term starts, when rental contracts run out, and in the run-up to Eid. At these times slots are booked days ahead, and a last-minute booking may push your date back. The middle of the month and midweek are much easier for scheduling.
A Quick Checklist Before Moving Day
- Send photos of the rooms and book a few days ahead.
- Get rid of anything you no longer need before packing starts.
- Book the service lift in both buildings.
- Switch off the fridge at least six hours ahead and dry it out.
- Keep documents, gold and medicines with you.
- Check every item and box before the crew leaves.
The full plan is in our moving preparation checklist.
Handover at Your New Home

We carry each piece into the room written on it, reassemble the bedrooms and tables, switch on with you any appliances that need it, then go through the list: the number of boxes, the condition of glass and screens, and how steady the wardrobes and beds are. Anything you point out, we put right before we leave.
How to Book
- Call or WhatsApp us on +966551009531, or fill in the furniture moving survey and quote request.
- Send photos of the rooms, plus the district and floor of both homes.
- We reply with the price, what it includes and a convenient date.
- We arrive on time, do the move and hand everything over.
