HOW TO PREPARE LARGE FURNITURE FOR MOVING DAY IN SINGAPORE

Moving day is coming, and you’ve got a big problem… literally. Your sofa, wardrobe, or dining table is huge, and you’re wondering how on earth it’s going to fit through the door or into the lift.

Don’t worry — we’ve got you covered. As experienced Singapore movers, we’ve handled everything from 4-seater couches to king-size bedframes, and we’re here to share some simple tips to prepare large furniture for a smooth, stress-free move.

🧹 1. Clear and Clean Your Furniture

Before moving day, empty out your furniture completely.
✅ Remove clothes from wardrobes
✅ Take everything out of drawers
✅ Clear shelves and cabinets

Not only does this make the item lighter, but it also prevents damage to your belongings during the move. Give surfaces a quick wipe too — nobody likes moving dusty furniture into a fresh new home.

🔧 2. Disassemble When Possible

Large furniture like bedframes, dining tables, and wardrobes are much easier to move in parts.
If possible, disassemble them the day before.

✅ Remove bed slats, headboards, and legs
✅ Take off detachable table tops
✅ Keep screws, bolts, and small parts in a labeled ziplock bag

💡 Pro tip: If you’re not confident with tools, let your movers handle it — we offer disassembly and reassembly as part of our moving service.

📏 3. Measure Doors, Lifts, and Corridors

Some HDB flats, condos, and landed homes have tight spaces or small lifts. Measure the following before moving day:

• Width and height of doorways

• Lift dimensions

• Hallway width

If the furniture is too big, our team can shrink wrap and carry it carefully, or dismantle it on the spot.

🛡️ 4. Protect Your Furniture

Moving isn’t just about getting furniture from point A to point B — it’s about keeping it safe and scratch-free.
We recommend:

• Bubble wrap for delicate surfaces

• Shrink wrap for fabric or leather sofas

• Blankets or padding for wood pieces

✅ Our movers always come prepared with protective materials, so your furniture arrives looking just as it did before.

🚪 5. Make a Clear Path for the Movers

On moving day, make sure your movers have a clear path from the furniture to the lorry.
✅ Move small items and boxes aside
✅ Keep pets and children safe in another room
✅ Unlock gates and doors ahead of time

This saves time and makes the move much smoother.
