We move homes and businesses in Kallio, Töölö, Kalasatama and every district in between, at the same all-inclusive rate as in the rest of the capital region: from €90/hour.
We're local movers in Helsinki and know the streets, the parking permits and the building elevators.
Local movers for every corner of Helsinki
Moves in Helsinki differ a lot from district to district. Kalasatama and Jätkäsaari are full of apartment towers, where a booked elevator and a well-parked truck decide whether the move takes 3 hours or 5. We plan both in advance. The older buildings of Kallio, Punavuori and Eira often have narrow stairwells and no elevator, so careful protection and an experienced crew save a lot of time there. In Paloheinä, Tapaninvainio and other house districts, our larger truck and 3-person crew usually pay for themselves in hours saved.
The West Harbour ferry terminals are in Helsinki, so many international relocations start or end here. If you're arriving in Finland or leaving it, our international moving service covers packing, customs paperwork and door-to-door delivery, and the same team handles the local Helsinki leg.
A typical apartment move inside Helsinki takes 3–5 hours at €90/h with 2 movers. Kilometres and fuel are always included in the rate. We also move in the neighbouring cities: see movers in Espoo and movers in Vantaa. More answers in the FAQ.
Helsinki ↔ Vantaa / Espoo
The rate is the same across the whole capital region, and we charge nothing extra for crossing city borders or for distance. Details on the pricing page.
Houses & big moves
For homes with three or more residents and for houses we send the 30 m³ Iveco with 3 movers, from €120/h, so everything goes in one trip instead of two.
Helsinki FAQ
Common questions in Helsinki
Can you move me to or from the West Harbour terminal area?
Yes. Jätkäsaari and the terminal district are part of our daily routes. For international arrivals we can coordinate the local move with your shipment's arrival date.
My building has no elevator. Is that a problem?
No, it only affects the time estimate. Tell us the floor in the quote form and we'll plan the crew size to match. Carrying is included in the service at no extra charge.
Do you move within one building or district?
Yes. Even a short move, one floor up or across the street, gets the same careful service, and it's usually done in 2–3 hours.
How much does a move in Helsinki cost?
A studio takes 2–3 hours (€180–270), a one-bedroom with 1–2 residents 3–5 hours (€270–450) and a two-bedroom or larger 5–7 hours with three movers (€600–840). The rate is €90/h with two movers or €120/h with three. A building without a lift adds hours; a new building with a loading bay saves them.
Do you charge extra for weekends in Helsinki?
No. Saturday and Sunday are charged at the same rate as a weekday, and there is no evening surcharge. Crossing district or city boundaries is free too, because all kilometres are included in the hourly rate.
How quickly can you move me?
Often within 1–3 days, and an urgent move is sometimes possible the same day. Month-end and weekends fill up first, so call 045 7871 3636 to check today's availability.
Do I need to book the lift myself?
In most Helsinki housing companies yes, and it's worth doing a couple of days ahead. We remind you when quoting and tell you how long to reserve it for.
Local knowledge
What actually slows a Helsinki move down
Two identical flats can take three hours or six, depending on where in Helsinki they are. That's why we ask about the floor, the lift and the parking situation while quoting. The estimate holds much better that way.
Kallio and Töölö
Old inner city: narrow stairwells, steep spiral stairs and often no lift at all. Sofas and double beds go up by hand, so allow extra time.
Kalasatama and Jätkäsaari
New buildings with lifts and proper loading bays give the fastest moves in the city. You just need to book the lift through the housing company in advance.
Lauttasaari and Vuosaari
In low-rise areas and 1960s–70s blocks, yard access is tight in places, so we check the route beforehand and bring a smaller truck when needed.
City centre parking
Downtown, the timetable depends on how close the truck can park. We arrange a temporary parking permit when needed, so just give us the address in the form.
What a Helsinki move typically costs
Studio, lift, boxes packed: 2–3 h × €90/h = €180–270
One-bedroom, 1–2 residents, lift, short carry: 3–5 h × €90/h = €270–450
One-bedroom, three or more residents, 3 movers and the 30 m³ Iveco: 3–5 h × €120/h = €360–600
One-bedroom in Kallio, 4th floor, no lift: 5–6 h × €90/h = €450–540
Two-bedroom or bigger, 3 movers: 5–7 h × €120/h = €600–840
Weekends cost the same. Saturday and Sunday are charged at the weekday rate and there's no evening surcharge either. The hourly rate covers the truck, the movers, carrying, soft moving blankets, fuel, all kilometres and transport insurance. Stretch-film wrapping (€40 a roll), disassembly and packing help are priced separately. Full price list.
If the flat needs cleaning for the handover, move-out cleaning happens on the same day at the Mover rate of €40/h with one cleaner. A one-bedroom takes about 4 hours, roughly €160. Our waste removal takes old furniture and junk to the recycling station: transport from €90 (depending on the amount) plus the station's fees at cost.
