Johannesburg to Cape Town moving services

Moving handled with care

When relocating your household or belongings in Johannesburg, ensuring your furniture and possessions are entrusted to professional hands is crucial.

Our movers and packers in Johannesburg are thoroughly vetted, trained, and experienced in handling relocations of all scales, collaborating with you to comprehend your specific needs and expectations. They expertly secure and manage each item, from loading to unloading, as part of the Wise Move journey.

More significantly, they adapt to changing circumstances, prioritising the safety of your belongings, regardless of the challenges that may arise. Your satisfaction is our commitment, and we consistently deliver on that promise.

Booking with Wise Move offers a comprehensive service. Our moving companies are on hand every step of the way to support you.

If you require packaging materials, we supply them promptly ahead of your move to streamline the process. If you need guidance or advice on how to best prepare and what to anticipate, we're always just a phone call or email away to offer assistance.

Regarding packing, we recommend limiting the box weight to 20kg to allow safe stacking and prevent damage. If you choose to use a larger box, be sure to label it as heavy, so we know how to position it correctly in the vehicle.

Likewise, attaching a large, visible FRAGILE sticker on any boxes containing glass, ceramics, or other delicate items ensures we handle them with utmost care.

Also, please note that there are certain items we cannot or are legally restricted from transporting, such as explosives, illegal substances, firearms, hazardous chemicals, jewellery, perishable goods, and cash. To guarantee a smooth moving experience, it's best to consult us if you have any concerns or questions regarding your belongings in advance, allowing us to provide solutions.

On the day itself, your specialists will manage all the substantial tasks, such as loading large furniture and heavy items. They'll carefully arrange these along with smaller boxed items in the trucks to maintain the safety and integrity of everything being moved; meticulous stacking ensures nothing is damaged. Each mover is equipped with the skills and expertise to secure furniture and items effectively during transit.

Upon arrival, your movers will assist with unloading according to your instructions regarding the placement of boxes, furniture, and appliances. Once everything is unloaded, if you have any questions or concerns, they will be more than willing to assist wherever possible.

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

Fully equipped

Successful removals in Johannesburg blend expertise with top-notch equipment to ensure your belongings reach their destination seamlessly. The professional movers on Wise Move bring the expertise, and each team comes equipped with high-quality, professional-grade tools to accomplish the task efficiently.

Armed with the right equipment, handling cumbersome and weighty furniture becomes straightforward, even when other teams might struggle. Whether navigating staircases or high-rise buildings, we expertly lift, manoeuvre, and position your items exactly where you desire.

To help you fit in as many of your possessions as possible, your movers have access to reliable, heavy-duty vehicles suitable for both lengthy and brief journeys. These vehicles are fitted with harnesses and clips to secure your items, safeguarding them as they travel across Johannesburg.

Upon reaching your destination, your movers take essential precautions to protect your home during the transition. This includes safeguarding floors, bannisters, and carpets from potential rips, tears, or other harm.

For transporting furniture to higher floors, Wise Move teams utilise hoist hire to easily elevate your belongings either outside or within the premises. Everything will be coordinated and communicated with you beforehand, ensuring your peace of mind.

If you have any specific concerns or requirements for your move in Johannesburg, simply inform us in advance, and we will organise accordingly to provide you with the smoothest and most straightforward moving experience possible.

7 days / week

Securing a mover in Johannesburg that aligns with your schedule can be a daunting task. Perhaps you require an item collected on a specific day, or you might need to relocate in Johannesburg swiftly and have only a single day available. Whatever your situation, we are here to accommodate your needs.

We collaborate with numerous movers in Johannesburg who are on call every day of the week, including weekends and public holidays.

With Wise Move, there’s no need to spend hours searching for a mover that meets your criteria. Simply send one message, and we eliminate the hassle of endless research or phone calls. Instead, you’ll receive bookings from movers available on your specified dates.

Customisable service

Our Johannesburg movers handle every step of the moving process – from packing and loading to transporting, unloading, and unpacking your belongings. We manage it all, allowing you to focus on what's truly important: settling into your new home or enjoying your new item.

While our movers can assist with tasks like disconnecting washers, we recommend preparing appliances ahead of moving day. Be sure to unplug, defrost, and clean fridges and freezers before they are loaded onto the van or truck. If you're unsure or unable to prep an item for your move, inform our movers. Our team can arrive equipped with the necessary tools to assist before the scheduled moving day.

For significant tasks such as mains disconnections or connections, we advise hiring a professional electrician or plumber.

Need a clearance and decluttering service in Johannesburg to tidy up rooms, garages, or attics? We can organise this service for you and seamlessly incorporate it into your move.

Single item delivery

We understand that moving a single item can be a real hassle. Some movers in Johannesburg aren’t equipped for quick small-item moves, and for others, it just isn't cost-effective. Yet, there are times you need assistance with transporting a large wardrobe, bed, antique, piano, or a very bulky sofa.

Our professionals in Johannesburg handle jobs of any size. Whether you need a small package or a large item delivered, our team provides a Door-to-Door service at a budget-friendly price.

Our movers assist with packing, loading your item into the vehicle, and transporting it from any location within South Africa.

Have you bought a heavy or large item on Gumtree that's marked as ‘Pickup Only’? We offer a specialised service tailored for the needs of online shoppers. Our comprehensive, friendly courier service operates throughout South Africa, delivering items straight to your doorstep the same day or the following day, based on your request.

We are one of the most recommended moving companies in South Africa. Our customers are the driving force behind everything we do, and we constantly strive to improve our service based on the feedback we receive.

If you’re looking for a trusted mover, you’ve come to the right place. Our skilled professionals from all over South Africa are consistently rated highly by our customers.

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 Johannesburg 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.
