Carrying Help in Gothenburg

Prepare for your carrying help in Gothenburg

Make sure the route is clear: move shoes, rugs and small furniture that could be in the way. Measure your doorways if you have large furniture — we need to know whether we can carry it through or if disassembly is required. If furniture is being carried down stairs, make sure the stairway is clear and the lighting works.

In central Gothenburg, especially around Avenyn, Haga and Linnégatan, parking can be challenging. If you have access to a courtyard, garage entrance or loading zone, let us know when booking — it saves time if items need loading onto a vehicle. Have entry codes ready if you live in an apartment building. The more prepared you are, the faster it goes — and you save money.

Landshövdingehus and stairwells in Gothenburg — our speciality

The most common reason to book carrying help in Gothenburg is the stairs. Gothenburg's building stock is unique in Sweden thanks to the landshövdingehus — three-storey buildings with a stone ground floor and upper floors in wood. They are found primarily in Majorna, Haga, Linnéstaden and Masthugget. The stairwells are narrow, winding and entirely wooden, with low ceilings and tight landings.

Older stone buildings in Vasastan, Lorensberg and Johanneberg have classic, often winding stairwells with high ceilings but limited width. Newer condos in Eriksberg, Lindholmen and Kvillebäcken on Hisingen have wider stairwells and lifts, but furniture still often needs to pass through tight doorways.

Million Programme buildings in Angered, Bergsjön and Kortedala have wide stairwells but lifts that rarely accommodate large furniture. Villas in Örgryte, Hovås, Askim and Mölndal have steep internal staircases and tight basement stairs.

We have carried furniture in all these types of stairwells and know exactly what equipment and technique is required. With carrying straps, stair climbers and protective mats we handle most situations — and we always protect walls, railings and floors throughout the process.

Safes, gym equipment and other extra-heavy items in Gothenburg

Safes and heavy gym equipment require special handling. An old safe can weigh 200–400 kg and has an awkward centre of gravity. We have experience moving extra-heavy items in all types of Gothenburg stairwells — from narrow landshövdingehus stairs in Majorna to steep villa stairs in Örgryte and Hovås.

We always discuss the job in advance — send us photos of the item and the stairwell and we'll give you an exact quote. We use carrying straps, stair climbers and sometimes ramps.

Carrying help is eligible for the Swedish RUT tax deduction. You get a 50% deduction on the labour cost – up to SEK 75,000 per person per year. The deduction is handled directly on the invoice.

Carrying help for deliveries and installation in Gothenburg

• New furniture delivered to the entrance We carry it to the right room, unpack and assemble if needed. Perfect when the courier just leaves it in the stairwell or at the entrance — common in Gothenburg's inner-city blocks.
• Appliances in and out We disconnect the old washing machine, carry it out and bring the new one in. Common in Gothenburg's older buildings where the laundry room is in the basement.
• Furniture between rooms Want to swap the sofa and the bookcase? We rearrange quickly and smoothly without floors or walls taking a beating.
• In-office moves Office reorganisation in Lindholmen, Mölndal or the city centre — we carry desks, cabinets and shelving between rooms or floors.
