Professional Moving Company in Claremont | Verified by Excellent Reviews

Moving into Claremont, or out of it? Biggles Removals is a fully insured team of furniture movers working across Claremont and the wider Southern Suburbs, and our furniture removals and moving services reach every street between Main Road and the M3. When you’re choosing between moving companies here, it usually comes down to one question: has the crew done a Main Road apartment block before, and do they know to book the service lift the week before rather than on the morning?

Claremont isn’t one kind of move. There’s a business district with flats stacked above it, a Victorian village east of the railway line in Harfield, and family houses climbing west towards Bishopscourt. A two bedroom flat off Protea Road with a booked lift is a very different job to a house in Lynfrae with a long driveway, so we quote and crew them differently for you. We’ve been moving people since 2016 and we carry a 4.8 rating from 176 Google reviews.

We’re set up for the way Claremont actually moves. If you’re in a studio flat near Cavendish Square, our mini removal team is the one you want. If your house isn’t ready on transfer day, that’s what secure storage is for. One or two rooms travelling a long way is a job for part-load removals, and if a second car has to travel with you, we’ll arrange vehicle transport on the same booking.

How we as your localised Moving Team in Claremont make your move as affordable as possible

Moving company prices in Claremont vary a great deal, and you should know roughly what to expect before you commit to anything. The table below gives you a realistic sense of local and long-distance furniture removal costs around the Southern Suburbs. Every figure is an estimate: your final quote depends on how much furniture you have, access at both addresses, whether a big truck can get down the lane or the driveway, any specialty items, and extras such as packing or storage. Below are average moving company prices in Claremont by property size, with long-distance costs from Claremont to Johannesburg shown as an example:

Property Size Local Claremont Moving Prices Long Distance Moving Costs
1 Bedroom R1,900 to R4,000 R5,000 to R9,000
2 Bedroom R3,500 to R6,500 R9,000 to R16,000
3 Bedroom R6,000 to R10,000 R15,000 to R30,000
4+ Bedrooms R9,000 to R16,000+ R24,000 to R40,000+

Based on an average amount of furniture per home size and our current rate per cubic foot. Last updated 2 April 2026. Long-distance removals from Claremont are shaped by a wider set of variables than local moves, mainly distance (Claremont to Gauteng is one of the longest corridors in the country), road access, the time of year, and whether you take a dedicated truck or a shared load. The figures above cover typical moving company prices to and from Claremont, but an accurate quote can only come from one of our moving consultants.

Claremont Moving Companies: Frequently Asked Questions

Send us your inventory or phone the office, and one of our Claremont moving consultants comes back to you with a written quotation. The quickest route is the online inventory form: list what is in each room, tell us the floor and whether there is a lift, and we price it from there. For a Main Road block we will also ask which day the body corporate releases the service lift, because that one answer decides the crew size and the price.
We cover Claremont and the wider Southern Suburbs, including Rondebosch, Newlands, Kenilworth, Wynberg, Lansdowne, Harfield Village, Lynfrae and Upper Claremont. We run up the M3 into the city and down the M5 towards Muizenberg most days, so a move from Claremont to almost anywhere on the peninsula is a same day job.
A local Claremont move runs about R1,900 to R4,000 for a one bedroom home, R3,500 to R6,500 for two bedrooms, R6,000 to R10,000 for three bedrooms and R9,000 to R16,000 or more for four bedrooms and up. Long distance costs more because of the fuel and the driving hours: R5,000 to R9,000 for a one bedroom, R9,000 to R16,000 for two, R15,000 to R30,000 for three and R24,000 to R40,000 or more for four bedrooms and up. Two things move the number in Claremont more than anywhere nearby: which floor you are on, and whether the lift is available on the day.
Most local moves in Claremont are finished inside a single day. A one or two bedroom flat is usually loaded, driven and offloaded in four to six hours, and a three or four bedroom house with a garage takes most of the day. Add an hour if the lift has to be shared with other residents, and add one for a Harfield Village cottage where the truck cannot reach the door and we shuttle the load down the street.
Loading, transport, offloading, trained movers in Biggles uniform, blankets and protective wrapping, and goods in transit cover with R200,000 included free. Packing materials, packing labour, storage and vehicle transport are quoted separately so you can see what each one costs before you decide.
Tell your consultant on the day. Every Claremont move carries goods in transit cover, and a claim starts with a note on the delivery sheet, so please check your items before the crew drives away. We ask for photographs and the details of the item and we handle the claim from there.
Biggles Removals is a registered South African company, CIPC 2021/010371/07, with a 4.8 star Google rating and reviews you can read on HelloPeter. You get a written quotation on a letterhead, and the crew that arrives is our own staff in Biggles uniform rather than a subcontracted bakkie.
Two to three weeks is comfortable for a local Claremont move, and four weeks is safer over a month end or in December. Book earlier if you are in a block that only releases the service lift on set days, because your moving date has to fit the building diary before it fits ours. If you need us sooner, phone the office rather than filling in the form and we will tell you honestly what is still open.
Yes. Every Claremont move includes goods in transit cover with R200,000 included free, and we carry public liability cover as well. If you own something unusually valuable, a piano, artwork or a gun safe, tell your consultant at quote stage so it can be listed and covered properly.
Yes. We can pack the whole home, or just the kitchen and the breakables, which is where most damage happens. It is worth doing in Claremont because a packed flat loads far faster, and when the lift is booked for a fixed window that speed is the difference between one trip and two. We bring the boxes, tape, paper and bubble wrap and label every box by room.
Midweek is cheapest. Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday in the middle of the month are the quietest days for movers in Claremont, so there is more availability and more room to move on price. Month end is the busiest, and in Claremont it collides with the buildings that only allow moves on weekdays, so the good slots go early.
Yes, and flats are most of what we do here. We move apartments in the Main Road blocks, Victorian cottages in Harfield Village, town houses in Lynfrae and family homes up towards Bishopscourt. Tell your consultant the floor, whether there is a service lift and where the loading bay is, and we bring the right vehicle and crew for it.
Yes. Our mini removals service handles single items, studio flats and small loads, and it costs a lot less than booking a full truck. In Claremont it suits a first flat near Cavendish Square, a student room moving up to Rondebosch, or a single bedroom suite going into the city. You pay for the space you use.
Yes. Long distance removals are a large part of what we do out of Claremont. We run to Johannesburg, Pretoria, Durban, Port Elizabeth, East London, Bloemfontein and the Garden Route, with goods in transit cover the whole way and a consultant who tells you where the truck is.
Yes. A shared load, also called a part load, means your furniture travels with other consignments going the same way, so you pay for the space you use instead of a whole truck. It is the cheapest way to move one or two rooms from Claremont to another province. The trade off is the delivery window, which is a range of days rather than a fixed date.
Yes, and it is one of our busiest corridors. We run both dedicated trucks and shared loads from Claremont to Johannesburg, and the long distance figures in the price table above are the right starting point. A flat move out of Claremont often fits a shared load comfortably, which is the cheaper way to do it.
Yes. We move regularly from Claremont to Mossel Bay, George, Knysna and Plettenberg Bay. It is a popular semigration route and one where a shared load often makes sense, because the trucks are already running it. Tell us the town and we will price the dedicated and the shared option side by side.
Yes, and Claremont keeps us busy with them. Main Road and the streets around Cavendish Square carry a lot of offices, medical rooms and small businesses, and we do most of those moves over a weekend or after hours so you lose as little trading time as possible. We handle desks, filing, servers and reception furniture.

What Can I Expect When Moving To Claremont?

Claremont sits in the middle of Cape Town’s Southern Suburbs, with Newlands and Rondebosch to the north, Bishopscourt to the west, Kenilworth to the south and Lansdowne to the east. The M3 runs down its western edge and the M5 down its eastern one, and Main Road carries most of the commercial traffic in between. Cavendish Square has anchored the shopping end since 1972, with Stadium on Main and Palmyra Junction alongside it.

The suburb splits in two. Upper Claremont is the western half, running up towards the mountain, and Lower Claremont is the eastern half, which takes in Lynfrae and Wyndover. Harfield Village sits east of the railway line off Lansdowne Road, and it is the part that catches most people out on moving day: narrow one way streets, cottages with no off street parking, and a shuttle vehicle more often than not.

The railway has been here since 1864 and Harfield Road station since 1931, which is why so much of the housing stock is old and close together. Listings run from roughly R1.5 million for a flat to nearly R7 million for a family house, and there are about two houses on the market for every flat. In practice a Claremont move is either a lift booking or a driveway, and it is worth telling your consultant which one you have when you ask for a price.
