Condo Movers in Surrey, BC

Condo moving in Surrey, done around your strata

A condo move is mostly a logistics job. Short carries and an elevator make the loading fast, but only if the elevator is booked, the truck has somewhere legal to stop and the crew knows the rules before they arrive. Waiting costs money on an hourly move, so we plan the access first and the furniture second.

Surrey Movers sends a professional crew with a moving truck and furniture protection for condos, apartments and townhouse complexes across Surrey. We move into and out of buildings in Surrey City Centre, Guildford, Newton and the rest of the city.

What to sort out with your strata before you book

Every strata sets its own rules, so ask your strata manager, caretaker or concierge as soon as you have a date. These are the points that most often affect a condo move:

Full guide: booking a strata move-in

Elevator or loading slot

Most Surrey towers and townhouse complexes require a booked elevator or loading slot. Ask how far ahead to book and how long your slot lasts.

Move hours

Many stratas limit moves to certain days and times. Confirm them before you set your date.

Move fee or deposit

Some stratas charge a move fee or hold a refundable deposit. Ask the amount and when it is returned.

Insurance and paperwork

Some stratas ask for proof of insurance or a move form. Tell us what your building requires when you request your quote.

How we plan a condo move

When you request a quote, send us both addresses, the floor numbers, your elevator slot and where the truck can park. We use that to size the crew, decide the loading order and keep the carry distance short.

We protect furniture and take care in lobbies, hallways and elevators to avoid damage and strata complaints. That also helps you get a deposit back.

  • Both addresses, with floors and elevator details.
  • Your booked elevator or loading slot and any move rules.
  • Where the truck can park and how far the carry is.
  • Large or fragile items, such as a piano, a safe or glass furniture.

Moving day in a strata building

The crew arrives in your agreed time window and checks in at the loading zone. The crew lead walks the unit with you, confirms what is moving and checks that any elevator protection your strata requires is in place. We load in a sensible order, keep hallways clear and secure the truck before it leaves.

At the new home we unload room by room, reassemble furniture and place boxes where you asked. A final walk-through together checks that nothing is left behind.

Condo moving pricing in Surrey

Our rates start at $135 per hour for 2 movers and a 16 ft truck. Rates for 3-mover or 4-mover crews range from $160 to $230+ per hour, depending on crew size and truck size.
