Strand Moving Company and Furniture Removals: Professional, Insured & Affordable

Moving to Strand, or leaving it? Biggles Removals is a fully insured team of furniture movers working the Helderberg coast from Rusthof through to Gordons Bay, and our furniture removals and moving services run into Cape Town every day. What most moving companies underestimate here is the lift: much of the beachfront is sectional title in older blocks along Beach Road, and one small lift with a booking sheet shapes the whole day long before the truck arrives.

Professional Moving Company in Strand | Verified by Excellent Reviews

Strand is not one kind of move, because it is not one kind of place. It grew first as a fishing village and then as the seaside where inland families from Stellenbosch took their holidays, it was proclaimed a municipality in 1897, and it was called Somerset Strand until 1937 when the name was shortened to the Afrikaans word for beach. It stayed a town in its own right until the metro was formed, and locals still treat it as one. Five kilometres of False Bay sand run along the front with apartment blocks old and new above them, while Rusthof, Broadlands and Onverwacht inland are freehold houses and Greenways is a golf estate behind a gate. A second floor flat on Beach Road and a house in Strand North are different jobs, and your quote should say so before the truck is booked.

We’re We are set up for the way Strand actually moves. If you are sending a room across to Somerset West or up to Stellenbosch, our mini removal team is the one you want. If your transfer date and your occupation date do not line up, which happens often on sectional title, that is what secure storage is for. One or two rooms travelling a long way is a job for part-load removals, a full house going up country is a long distance removal, and if a second car has to travel with you we will arrange vehicle transport on the same booking. Every Strand move is booked through our Cape Town branch.

Moving Company Services Across Strand and the Helderberg

Whatever you are moving out of Strand, there is a service sized for it. Our moving services run from a single item collected in Strandvale to a full home relocation out of a Beach Road apartment, with the same crew standards and the same goods in transit cover on every one.

🏠 House & Flat Removals

Full households from the Beach Road flats through to the freehold houses in Strand North, offloaded into place at your new address.

🏢 Office & Commercial Moves

Shops, offices and practices around the Strand centre moved after hours, so you are trading as normal again by the next morning.

🚐 Strand Mini Removals

One room, a few items or a student load, on a smaller vehicle so you pay for the space you actually use and not a whole truck.

🛡️ Protective Wrapping & Packing

Blankets, strapping and full wrap for lounge suites, mattresses and glass, packed by the crew before anything leaves the house.

🏪 Cape Town Storage

Secure storage between transfer dates, with your inventory listed and sealed so nothing is guessed at when it comes back out.

🛣️ Long-Distance Removals

Closed trucks and experienced drivers running to Johannesburg, Pretoria and Durban, with goods in transit cover on every trip.

🚚 Countrywide Shared Loads

Share the truck space on a scheduled run and pay a share of the cost, which suits small flats and single items over distance.

🚗 Car and Vehicle Transport

Cars, bakkies and boat trailers moved on the same booking as your furniture, so a single crew handles the whole relocation.

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

Moving company prices in Strand 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 what a local move around Strand and the Helderberg costs, and what the runs up country cost. Every figure is an estimate: your quote depends on the volume of furniture, access at both addresses, whether a block has a service lift and a booking sheet, any specialty items, and extras such as packing or storage.

Property Size Local Strand 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 8 September 2026. Strand sits about 50 kilometres from the Cape Town city centre and inside the same metro, so a run into town is priced as a local move rather than a regional one. Long-distance removals from Strand are influenced by a wider set of variables than local moves, primarily distance, road access, time of year, and whether you opt for a full load or a shared load. Longer hauls are quoted on our Cape Town to Johannesburg route, and every Strand move is booked through the Cape Town branch. For an accurate figure, contact your moving consultant.

Your own figure depends on the volume of furniture, access at both addresses and the services you add.
Strand Central and the beachfront, Strand North, Rusthof, Broadlands and Broadlands Village, Onverwacht, Van Ryneveld, Strandvale, Goedehoop, Guldenland, Lochnerhof, Twin Palms, Kleinbos, Nomzamo and the Greenways estate, plus the Strand Industria business area. Somerset West is a few kilometres inland on the R44 and Gordons Bay about five kilometres along the coast, and both sit on our normal weekly runs.
Yes, and it is the most common job we do here. Beachfront blocks range from 1970s buildings to new towers, and the lift is what sets the day: some are small, some need a booking slot from the trustees or managing agent, and a few have no service lift at all. Tell your moving consultant the block, the floor and the lift situation when you book, and we will size the crew and the vehicle to it rather than discover the problem on the morning.
Two to three weeks is comfortable for a local move and about four weeks for a long distance one. Strand fills over December and the school holidays, and month end is the busiest window anywhere in the country. If you are moving into a block that requires a lift booking, tell us early, because that date is often harder to secure than ours.
Yes. Saturday moves are common here, particularly on holiday lets and sectional title changeovers, and we run Sundays and public holidays by arrangement. Weekend work is quoted the same way as a weekday move. Tell your moving consultant the date you need and it goes into the schedule.
Yes, and it is one of our busiest runs. The Cape Town city centre is about 50 kilometres away on the N2 and Strand sits inside the same metro, so a move between the two is priced as a local job rather than a regional one. Household moves, office relocations and student loads all travel the same route.
Yes. Our mini removals service puts a small load on a smaller vehicle so you pay for the space you use instead of a whole truck. It suits a single room, a few pieces of furniture, or one item that has to reach an address across the Helderberg.
Yes. Transfer dates and occupation dates often miss each other by days or weeks, especially on sectional title, so we hold goods in secure storage in between. Everything is inventoried and sealed before it goes in, so what comes back out is checked against a list rather than a memory.
Yes. Goods in transit cover is carried on every Biggles job, local or long distance, and it applies from the moment the crew starts loading. If you are moving anything of unusual value, a piano, art, a wine collection or specialist equipment, declare it when you book so the cover and the packing are both matched to it.
Yes. Shops and offices around the town centre, professional practices, guest houses and the units in Strand Industria are all work we do regularly. Commercial moves are usually run after hours or over a weekend so that you are trading as normal the next morning.
A one or two bedroom flat is normally a single day and often a morning, provided the lift is available. A three or four bedroom house is a full day, and a day and a half if packing is included. A high floor with a small lift, or a block with no service lift at all, is the single biggest thing that adds hours.
Three things. Lifts, which decide the pace of every beachfront move and sometimes need booking through the trustees. Loading bays, because many Beach Road blocks have very little kerb and no dedicated bay. And the seawall and promenade works along the beachfront, which are running to a November 2026 completion and bring temporary closures and revised traffic management. We check all three before quoting.
Yes. Greenways runs controlled access, so we clear the crew and the vehicle at the gate in advance rather than arriving and waiting. Tell us the estate when you book and we will handle the paperwork. The same applies to any complex with a security office, a boom or a size limit on vehicles at the entrance.
Yes. We run it on closed trucks with experienced drivers and goods in transit cover on every trip. You can take a full load or share the truck space on a scheduled run, which costs less and suits a flat or a part household. Pretoria goes on the same schedule.
Yes. The N2 east is the natural line and George is a comfortable single day run. Knysna, Plettenberg Bay and Mossel Bay all go on the same route, and coastal relocations out of the Helderberg are steady work for us.
Yes, all of it. Somerset West is a few kilometres inland on the R44, Gordons Bay about five kilometres along the coast, Stellenbosch roughly 25 kilometres north and Hermanus about 76 kilometres east. Note that the coast road to Hermanus, Clarence Drive, is scenic but narrow and winding, and we plan the vehicle for it rather than assuming.
Yes. Boxes, tape, bubble wrap, paper and mattress covers can be delivered to you before the move, and the crew brings blankets and strapping on the day as standard. If you would rather not pack at all, our packing service does the whole house or just the kitchen and the breakables.
Both answers are defensible, and it matters less than people think. Administratively Strand is part of the City of Cape Town, in the Helderberg planning district. Historically it was a municipality in its own right from 1897 until the metro was formed, and it is not and never was part of Somerset West. For a move it makes no practical difference: your Strand booking runs through our Cape Town branch either way.

Strand sits on the north eastern shore of False Bay in the Helderberg, part of the City of Cape Town, with five kilometres of sheltered beach below the Helderberg mountain. It was a municipality in its own right from 1897 until the metro was formed, which is why it still reads as a town rather than a suburb, and why our crews treat it as one. Moves into the city are booked through our Cape Town branch, longer hauls north follow the Cape Town to Johannesburg corridor, and you can start anywhere from the Biggles Removals home page.
