Movers for Stairs and No-Lift-Access Units

Need to move items up or down multiple floors with no lift access? We send crews trained specifically for stair carry, whether it's a walk-up apartment, a landed property, or a building with a lift out of service.

When You Need a Stair-Carry Crew

• Walk-up apartments with no elevator
• HDB units where the lift is under maintenance
• Landed property with multiple levels
• Condo units where the route runs through a basement staircase
• Emergency relocations when a lift breaks down mid-move

What the Crew Handles

Our movers are trained for tight stairwells and narrow landings, not just open floor plans:

• Heavy furniture: wardrobes, bed frames, fridges
• Delicate items: washing machines, TVs
• Long or steep staircases
• Straps, gloves and trolleys where there's room to use them, and hand-carry technique where there isn't

What It Costs

Extra manpower for stairs-only moves is SGD 60-120, on top of your base move cost, depending on floor count and item size. See the full rate table for standard move pricing by flat size. There's no surcharge if you tell us about the stairs when you book. If we turn up without knowing, the crew size and time we've planned won't match the job, and that's when a move runs long.

How Many Movers You'll Get

Typically 2-4 movers for a stair-carry job, sized by floor count and item volume. A single wardrobe up two flights needs a different crew than a full 4-room flat with no lift.

Common Situations

• Moving out of a 4th-floor walk-up HDB
• Relocating from a shophouse or heritage unit
• Moving into upper floors of a landed property
• Shifting within the same building via the stairwell
• Delivering furniture to a stair-only-access unit

FAQ

Is there an extra charge for stairs? Only if we're not told in advance. We quote fairly based on floor count and item size once we know.

How many movers will you send? Typically 2-4, depending on items and floors.

Can you move bulky furniture through narrow stairwells? Yes. If dismantling is needed to get a wardrobe or bed frame through a tight landing, we handle that as part of the job. See furniture dismantling and assembly for how that's priced.

What items do you not carry via stairs? Very large safes or commercial-grade equipment may need special handling. We'll assess this before confirming the job.

Do you dispose of unwanted furniture from walk-ups? Yes, we can carry unwanted items down for disposal. See disposal services.
