Organise handyman and furniture assembly help for your move

Furniture assembly and handyman help when moving: define tasks, check qualifications and find current platforms in Germany.

01

Which jobs can be outsourced separately?

A move creates many small jobs that can delay the actual transport.

  • Disassemble and reassemble furniture
  • Shelves, curtain rails and simple wall mounting
  • Kitchen or wardrobe assembly where offered
  • Disposal or dismantling of old furniture
  • Small repair and installation tasks

02

General handyman or specialist trade?

The provider should match the job. A general assembly service is not automatically suitable for every technical task.

  • For furniture: give dimensions, manufacturer and instructions
  • For wall mounting: state wall type and weight
  • For kitchens: separate assembly from utility connections
  • For electrical/gas/water work choose the appropriate qualified trade
  • Clarify insurance and invoice

03

What should the quote contain?

A clear task list prevents a “small assembly job” from becoming an open-ended hourly booking.

  • Items and quantities
  • Disassembly, transport and assembly separately
  • Materials/fixings
  • Travel, minimum duration and extra hours
  • Disposal and packaging
  • Dependencies on delivery or moving date
