Moving services we run in Takanini
We do full house moves, townhouse and apartment moves, office relocations, packing and storage. Heavy pieces like pianos are quoted on the job. We don’t take single-item bookings; every move is a truck with a two-person crew.
House moves Big family homes usually get the 40 m³ truck, so it’s one load. See our house moves →.
Townhouse and apartment moves Addison, Longford Park and McLennan terraces mean stairs and rear lanes. Tell us your levels and we’ll match the crew.
Office and business moves Offices, shops and workshops, Monday to Saturday. More on our office relocations →.
Packing Whole house or just the kitchen. Our full packing service → includes bubble wrap for breakables.
Storage Secure, climate-controlled short- or long-term storage → for when settlement dates don’t line up.
Pianos and oversized items Pianos, spa pools and pool tables may cost extra. Mention them when you ask for a quote.

Moving in or out of Takanini: route notes
Short local moves are the most common, but we also run Takanini jobs north into the city and south toward Pukekohe.
- Papakura: the next suburb south along Great South Road. A typical local job, often done within the 30 m³ truck’s time guide.
- Manurewa: north along Great South Road. Our movers in Manukau → page covers the wider area.
- Drury and Pukekohe: via SH1 past Papakura. Check for motorway works on the day; we do.
- Central Auckland: northbound SH1 is the slow direction in the morning, so we plan the travel leg around the peak.
- Leaving Auckland: moves to Hamilton, Tauranga or further are quoted separately through our long distance moving → service.
How a Takanini move works
It runs in five steps, from your first message to the last box placed in the right room.
- Ask for a quote. Send addresses, home size, date, and any big items. Tip: a photo of your lane or stairwell saves a lot of back and forth.
- We pick the truck and crew. 20, 30 or 40 m³, plus an extra mover if the stairs call for it. Tip: say how many levels each house has.
- We set the start time. Usually 7 am for longer jobs, timed around the rail crossings and SH1. Tip: book Saturdays early; we’re closed Sundays.
- Wrap, load and move. Blankets, shrink wrap and bubble wrap go on before anything leaves the house. Tip: move your car off the driveway the night before.
- Unload and rebuild. Furniture is reassembled and placed where you want it. Tip: label boxes by room, not by contents.

Takanini moving checklist
- 2–3 weeks out: book your date. If your new-build settlement and move-out don’t line up, ask about storage now.
- Check the rules: if your development has a body corporate or residents’ society, find out about moving hours and common areas.
- Measure: stairwell width against your sofa, fridge and bed base.
- Tell the lane: let neighbours on a shared driveway know the date and time.
- Check works: look up current Auckland Transport works near the Walters Road and Taka Street crossings, and NZTA works on SH1 south of Papakura.
- Pack and label: label every box by room. Our boxes and packing materials are available if you need them.
- Night before: clear the driveway, dismantle anything you’re comfortable with, and keep documents, keys and medication with you.
