Hoisting
Hoisting is a moving technique that is mainly used in old cities such as Amsterdam. A rope and block are used for this. We hang the pulley (Block) on the hook located at the top of the building, then we lower the side of the rope without the hook down. We attach the hook inside the house to the straps that we have tied around the furniture. By pulling the rope at the bottom, we can safely hoist the furniture out of the house.
Remove windows
Sometimes, before the move, the windows of your home have to be removed if, for example, we are going to use the removal lift. Within Amsterdam, this mainly concerns upward sliding windows that work with counterweights or springs. These are both quick and easy to remove and replace by our handyman.
Packing service
Do you dread packing or unpacking all your belongings during your move? Packing is an important part of a move and is a job that should not be underestimated. It is useful to sort everything correctly so that all your things end up in the right place at your new address, but it is also especially important that things are packed in such a way that they do not get damaged during the move. Our packing specialists can help you flawlessly: lightning fast, professional and precise.
