Carrying Help in Stockholm

Prepare for your carrying help in Stockholm

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 Stockholm, 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.

Stairwells in Stockholm — our speciality

The most common reason to book carrying help in Stockholm is the stairs. Stockholm's building stock spans from 18th-century houses in Gamla Stan to newly built condos in Hagastaden, and every era has its challenges.

Turn-of-the-century buildings in Södermalm, Vasastan and Östermalm often have narrow, winding stairwells with decorative railings that scratch easily. Functionalist buildings from the 1930s and 40s on Gärdet and Kungsholmen have extremely tight lifts and steep stairs. Million Programme buildings in Farsta, Rågsved and Skärholmen often have wide stairwells but lack lifts above the third floor. Villas in Bromma, Enskede, Lidingö and Täby have steep basement stairs and tight internal staircases.

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

Safes, appliances and other extra-heavy items in Stockholm

Safes and other extra-heavy items require special handling. A safe can weigh anything from 100 to over 500 kg and has a compact, awkward centre of gravity. Heavy appliances such as cast-iron stoves, large combined fridge-freezers and commercial washing machines also demand the right technique and equipment. We have experience moving these kinds of items in all types of Stockholm stairwells — from spiral staircases in Södermalm to steep villa stairs in Djursholm.

Gym equipment like cross trainers, rowing machines and home gyms is another category that is often underestimated — heavy and bulky at the same time. 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 sack barrows, straps and sometimes ramps to move safely and efficiently.

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 Stockholm

• 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 Stockholm'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 Stockholm'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 Kista, Solna or the inner city — we carry desks, cabinets and shelving between rooms or floors.
