Moving questions, answered straight
If your question is not here, ask us. We would rather tell you straight than have you guess.
Frequently asked questions
What areas do you move in?
We cover the whole of Gauteng — Johannesburg, Pretoria, Ekurhuleni, the West Rand and the Vaal. Our base is in Randburg. Recent moves also include Centurion, Midrand, Fourways, Benoni, Boksburg, Germiston, Springs, Akasia and Evaton.
How much does a move cost?
A one-bedroom move starts at R2 000, two bedrooms at R2 800 and three bedrooms at R3 850. Those are starting prices, not flat rates: what you pay depends on your own move, and we confirm the figure before anything is booked. Four bedrooms and up, part-loads and single items are priced on the details of the job.
How do I get a quote?
Send us where you are moving from, where to, roughly what there is, which floor you are on and the date you want. WhatsApp 071 417 7301 is the fastest way — the quote form on this site composes that message for you. You can also call the same number or email Panahbuilder@gmail.com.
Do you wrap furniture, or do I have to?
We wrap. Bubble wrap and stretch film go on furniture and appliances, mattresses and bed bases are covered before they are carried, blankets go between anything that can rub, and the load is tied down under cargo netting and straps for the drive.
Do you do the packing as well?
Yes, and we supply packing materials. Tell us when you ask for a quote whether you want us to pack or only to move, because it changes the price.
Are my things insured?
Your goods are insured while they are in transit with us. We do not publish an insurer name or a cover amount on this site, because we will not put a figure in writing that we have not checked against the policy. Ask us and we will tell you what the cover is.
What do you move in — a truck?
Bakkies and trailers, all branded with our name and number. For a bigger load we bring a second vehicle rather than making you wait for a second trip.
Can you move a single item, or only a whole house?
Single items are a normal booking. Recent jobs include a piano, a bookshelf, a couch, a fridge and a bed going into storage.
How far in advance should I book?
The sooner the better, especially at month-end when most leases turn over. We have also taken same-week moves — message us and ask rather than assuming we are full.
Where can I read your reviews?
On our Wise Move profile, where the rating is 9.5 out of 10, and on our Google listing. Both are linked from our reviews page, and we reproduce reviews on this site word for word rather than rewriting them.
Still not sure?
Send us the details of your move and we will come back with a price and an answer.
