Moving companies and movers services in Cape Town

Moving handled with care

When you're booking a move for your home or items in Cape Town, you want assurance that your furniture and possessions are in safe, professional hands.

Our movers and packers in Cape Town are extensively vetted, highly trained, and expertly skilled in handling removals of every scale, collaborating with you to meet your unique needs and expectations. They are adept at securing and managing each item, from loading to unloading. This is the hallmark of the Wise Move experience.

More importantly, they can effortlessly adapt to evolving situations, ensuring the security and safety of your belongings, regardless of any challenges that may arise. Your satisfaction is our priority, and we consistently deliver.

Booking with Wise Move ensures a comprehensive service. Our moving companies are by your side throughout the entire process.

Should you require packaging materials, we’ll supply them well ahead of time to streamline the moving process. If you seek guidance or advice on preparing and what to expect, we're always just a phone call or email away to assist.

For packing, we recommend keeping box weight to no more than 20kg to allow for safe stacking without crushing. Larger boxes are fine, but please label them as heavy so we can load them correctly in the truck.

Similarly, placing a large, visible FRAGILE sticker on any boxes containing glass, ceramics, or other delicate items will ensure they’re handled with utmost care at all times.

Be aware that some items cannot be moved or are legally restricted. These include explosives, illegal substances, firearms, hazardous chemicals, jewellery, frozen goods, and cash. To guarantee a smooth experience, we recommend checking with us if you have any concerns about your cargo beforehand so we can provide solutions.

On moving day, our specialists will manage all the heavy lifting – loading large furniture and bulky items. They arrange these with smaller boxed items to safeguard everything being moved; proper stacking prevents breakage. Every mover is skilled in arranging and securing furniture and items to ensure safety during transit.

Upon arrival, your movers will assist with unloading, following your instructions on where to place boxes, furniture, and installations. Once everything is offloaded, they’ll gladly address any questions or concerns you may have.

It's that straightforward! For reliable removals, choose Wise Move.

Fully equipped

Successful removals in Cape Town combine expertise and quality equipment, ensuring your belongings are transported efficiently. At Wise Move, our professional movers provide the expertise, while every team is equipped with top-grade, professional tools to handle your move seamlessly.

With our advanced equipment, moving awkward and heavy furniture becomes straightforward. Whether navigating stairwells or reaching higher floors in multi-storey buildings, we ensure your items are lifted, manoeuvred, and positioned where you want them with ease.

Our trusted, heavy-duty vehicles, suitable for any journey, short or long, are at the movers' disposal to accommodate as much of your belongings as needed. Each vehicle is furnished with harnesses and clips to secure your items, guaranteeing their safety throughout the entire move across Cape Town.

Your movers take every precaution to protect your home during the move. This includes safeguarding floors, bannisters, and carpets to prevent any potential rips, tears, or damage, ensuring everything remains intact.

For relocating furniture to higher floors, Wise Move teams efficiently employ a hoist to lift your possessions either outside or inside the building. All procedures will be thoroughly confirmed and communicated with you prior to the move, providing peace of mind.

If you have any specific concerns or unique requirements for your move in Cape Town, simply inform us beforehand. We will plan accordingly to deliver the smoothest and most straightforward moving experience for you.

Customisable service

Our professional movers in Cape Town are equipped to handle every aspect of your relocation, from packing and loading to transporting, unloading, and unpacking your possessions. We manage every detail so that you can focus on enjoying your new home or space with peace of mind.

While our movers can assist with tasks such as disconnecting washers, we recommend preparing appliances ahead of moving day. Fridges and freezers should be unplugged, defrosted, and thoroughly cleaned in advance. If you encounter any issues or are unsure about preparing an item for your move, please inform our movers. They can arrive equipped with the necessary tools to assist on the day of packing.

For complex tasks like electrical or plumbing disconnections and connections, we advise enlisting the expertise of a certified electrician or plumber.

Should you require clearance and decluttering services in Cape Town, whether for rooms, garages, or attics, we’re happy to organise these services as part of your relocation.

For our professionals in Cape Town, every task matters, whether it’s big or small. Whatever you need to be moved, our team ensures it is delivered Door-to-Door at a competitive rate.

Full packing service

When you’re moving house, packing sensibly is an absolute must. However carefully removal teams transport items, packing is always necessary to prevent any breakages or damage.

At Wise Move, we’ve brought together the finest packers South Africa has to offer – and they’re all available to professionally package anything from antiques to stuffed toys, instruments to ceramics. Our experts are efficient, reliable and always take the greatest of care; these are packers you can trust.

Generally, when we pack your items, we’ll choose one of two methods: fragile or blanket packing. Fragile wrapping sees us wrap precious and fragile items with added bubble wrap, to be placed in specialised boxes. Blanket packing sees us use professional-grade wrapping blankets for larger items, such as furniture, which can’t fit in protective boxes.

With both of these methods, we’ll take the utmost care, drawing on our experience and expertise to secure everything during the move.

Available across South Africa

From the smallest rural community to the biggest city, our platform has all the right people to deliver your furniture and possessions, wherever you are in South Africa.

After you post your delivery request, we’ll match you up with the moving teams in Cape Town who can reach both you and your destination. Once you’ve compared your options and chosen the movers team for you, it’s just a matter of letting them know where you are and where you need to go (and when).

Better yet, we can work closely with your family, friends or employees under remote instruction from you as the client to get everything packed and delivered. You don’t even have to be at the point of collection or final destination; you can trust our movers to get the job done to your highest levels of satisfaction.

That’s a Wise Move guarantee.

No hidden fees

When you need to move, we understand how frustrating it can be to expect to pay one price, only for extra costs to add up as the process drags on.

At Wise Move, we’ve done away with all that thanks to our strict ‘no hidden fees’ policy. Whatever quote we give you for your moving job will be final, no ifs or buts. We’re proud to offer value-driven moving for you, your family and your business that never takes you for granted.

Our charges are fully inclusive of petrol and any other charges the removal process might incur – including VAT, the goods and service tax levied by the government.

If you have any questions or queries about the quote you’ve been given, you can always get in touch and our friendly support team will be happy to help.
