This guide is not about moving a home as one package. It is about the furniture itself: how a sliding wardrobe comes apart, how a marble dining top is lifted, and when a carpenter is needed because a cabinet will not fit through the new front door.
From Wardrobe to Workstation
- Bedrooms, wardrobes and kitchen units taken apart and rebuilt, with every screw bagged and labelled to its piece.
- Single items, a few pieces, or a full office moved after working hours.
- Safes, pianos and marble lifted with proper gear; floors, walls and lift cars protected.
- Studio moves from AED 920; single pieces and offices are priced over WhatsApp.
- The team sends you an update on WhatsApp at each stage.
What we move in Sharjah: dismantling and assembly by item
Every piece comes apart differently, and the classic mistake is handling a heavy timber wardrobe like a light metal bed frame. Here is what the crew does with the items we see most often in Sharjah homes and flats:
| Item | Dismantling | Wrapping | Reassembly |
|---|---|---|---|
| Sliding-door wardrobe | Doors off first, then top and bottom tracks, then the side panels | Blankets and corner guards on doors, film on panels | Tracks adjusted so the doors run without rubbing |
| Hinged wardrobe | Hinges released from the carcass and kept with each door | Hard board over inside mirrors | Doors aligned so the gaps are even |
| Bed and full bedroom set | Headboard, base, drawers and bedside tables separated | Mattress cover; film over timber | Base levelled and fixed |
| Wall and base kitchen units | Fronts off, units off the wall, worktop lifted | Each unit wrapped and numbered by position | Hung and levelled; carpentry if sizes differ |
| Marble or glass dining table | Top lifted off, legs removed | Timber crate for marble and glass | Top reseated on rubber pads |
| Desk and filing cabinet | Drawers emptied, tops and shelves removed | Numbered by department or room | Built to the new office layout |
| Sofas and majlis seating | Legs and removable arms taken off | Film and blankets on fabric and leather | Legs refitted, covers wiped down |
Screws and small fittings are what usually go missing. Everything that belongs to one item goes into a clear bag marked with its name and taped to that item, so nobody spends an hour hunting for a hinge screw in another carton.

Kitchens in Sharjah: when they are worth moving
Plenty of flats in Al Nahda, Al Taawun and Al Majaz come with a landlord kitchen, so nothing moves. Villa owners in Al Rahmaniya, Al Suyoh or Al Zahia who fitted their own kitchen often want to take it. That works when the units are solid timber or aluminium and the new walls are close in size.
- We photograph the units and measure the new wall before anything comes down, so we know whether a cut or an extra unit is needed.
- A long marble or granite worktop travels on its edge inside a crate, never flat.
- The moving crew does not touch water or gas lines; a qualified technician disconnects and reconnects them, booked by you or arranged with us.
- Old chipboard units that have swollen with damp may not survive dismantling, and we tell you so before starting.
Sharjah areas we cover and what each one involves
The building decides a lot of the work: towers with service lifts that need booking, villas with narrow side passages, industrial areas full of offices and warehouses. This is the usual picture in Sharjah:
| Area | Typical housing | What we watch for |
|---|---|---|
| Al Nahda, Al Taawun, Al Majaz, Al Khan | Residential towers | Service-lift booking, building permit, truck parking |
| Al Qasimia, Abu Shagara, Rolla, Al Yarmook | Older blocks, some without a large lift | Wardrobes fully dismantled for the stairs |
| Muwaileh, University City, Aljada | Newer flats and communities | Loading windows set by the community |
| Al Rahmaniya, Al Suyoh, Al Zahia, Al Tay, Al Nouf | Villas and townhouses | Large bedrooms, majlis sets, movable kitchens |
| Al Heera, Al Butina, Al Ramla, Al Ramtha | Older family houses | Narrow doors and older pieces that need care |
| Industrial Areas 1 to 18 | Offices and warehouses | Office furniture, safes, after-hours moves |
| Khor Fakkan, Kalba, Dibba Al Hisn | East-coast towns belonging to Sharjah | Longer drive, so the date is fixed early |
Office and company furniture in Sharjah
An office move differs from a home move in one way: every hour of downtime costs the business. That is why we usually suggest starting after closing time or on the weekend, so the new office is ready for work the next morning.
- You share the new floor plan or a photo of it, and every desk and cabinet gets a number that matches its new spot.
- Staff empty their drawers into cartons with their names on, and the large desks and meeting tables are dismantled.
- Screens and printers are wrapped separately, and files travel upright in numbered cartons so their order holds.
- At the new office, furniture goes up by number; connecting computers and the network stays with your IT people.

Offices in the industrial areas and warehouses often hold safes and heavy steel racking, which leads to the next section.
Heavy and valuable pieces: safes, pianos, marble and antiques
Anything heavier than four men can safely carry does not go up or down stairs by hand. We use wide-wheeled dollies, lifting straps and plank ramps where needed, and we check in advance whether the lift is rated for the weight.
- Safes: we ask for the rough weight and the floor type, and if the safe is anchored we release it from its fixings first.
- Pianos: the key lid is secured, the body is blanket-wrapped, and it travels upright, strapped to the truck wall.
- Marble tables and large mirrors: timber crates built to size on request.
- Chandeliers and paintings: the chandelier is taken down and each glass part wrapped on its own.

Protecting floors, walls and lifts
Many tower managements in Al Nahda and Al Majaz ask for lift walls to be covered before loading. We lay boards or runners over marble and parquet along the route from room to door, fit guards on wall corners and door frames, and hang blankets inside the lift car. Those few minutes can save you a deduction from your deposit by the landlord or the building.
Carpentry adjustments at reassembly
Sometimes a wardrobe will not fit where it is meant to go because the ceiling is a few centimetres lower, or the bedroom door is narrower than the cabinet side. That is a job for the carpenter: shortening the plinth, splitting the top section into its own unit, or trimming a kitchen unit to suit a shorter wall. You hear the proposed change and its cost first, and nothing gets cut without your approval.
How the job runs, from the first photo to the last screw
- WhatsApp survey: photos or video of each room, plus the floor and lift situation at both ends.
- Price and date: you receive the price and what it covers, and we pick a slot that suits the building.
- Permits: we help with the lift booking and move permit some towers require.
- Dismantling and wrapping: the crew starts with the big pieces and numbers everything.
- Loading: into a closed box truck with a tail-lift, heavy items strapped to the walls.
- Reassembly: pieces go back into place, packing is cleared away, and you get WhatsApp updates throughout.
Which wrapping goes on which furniture
Not everything is wrapped the same way. Polished timber needs blankets under the film so heat does not get trapped against it, fabric needs film against dust, and glass needs hard board or a crate.
- Clear stretch film for fabric, mattresses and closed drawers.
- Moving blankets for timber and glossy surfaces.
- Cardboard corner guards for doors, tops and frames.
- Heavy cartons for contents and small accessories.
- Timber crates for marble, glass and large mirrors.

Sending urgent items by air
If you are leaving Sharjah for another country and need a few light things before the furniture lands, they can go by air freight: papers, clothes, small electronics or light decor. The furniture itself goes by road to Saudi Arabia and the Gulf and by sea farther afield. The details are in our guide to moving furniture in and out of Sharjah.
Tips before moving day
Empty wardrobes and drawers the night before, and leave hanging clothes on their hangers if you want them moved in wardrobe cartons. A full wardrobe is heavier and more likely to twist when carried.
- Photograph the back of the TV and appliance connections before unplugging.
- Measure the doorways and bedroom ceiling height at the new place.
- Keep a small box with basic tools and the house keys with you, not on the truck.
- If the new home is not ready, look at furniture storage in Sharjah for a short spell.
Warning: Do not start taking a sliding wardrobe apart before the crew arrives. Pulling a door off its track at the wrong angle snaps the top rollers, and spares for some makes are hard to find.
Frequently asked questions about furniture moving in Sharjah
Do you move just one item, like a wardrobe or a fridge?
Yes. Send a photo of the item, both addresses and the floor at each end on WhatsApp and you will get a price. A single piece is dismantled, wrapped and rebuilt exactly as it would be in a full home move.
Can you take down a kitchen and fit it in the new home?
Yes, if the units are in a condition to be dismantled. We measure the new wall first and tell you about any adjustment before starting. Water and gas connections are handled by a qualified technician.
How long does a two-bedroom flat take within Sharjah?
Usually one day, provided the lift is booked at both buildings. Built-in wardrobes and a kitchen can add a few hours.
Do towers in Al Nahda and Al Majaz need a move permit?
Many require a service-lift booking and management approval. We tell you what is needed and help arrange it before the date.
Do you move office furniture at weekends?
Yes, and it is usually what we suggest so staff return to a working office. The timing is agreed in advance.
What if something is damaged in transit?
We photograph the condition of valuable pieces before dismantling. You can also ask the team about optional insurance for high-value items before the date.
Do you move furniture from Sharjah to Dubai or Ajman?
Yes, moves between emirates are available. Send both addresses and the price comes back on WhatsApp.
