Furniture Movers in the UAE +971557643821: Furniture Dismantling, Assembly, Heavy Items and Offices

Looking for furniture movers in the UAE who care about each piece rather than just the load? Al Basmah International Shipping moves bedrooms, wardrobes, sofas, dining tables, office furniture, steel safes and pianos between any two addresses within one emirate or across the seven emirates and Al Ain. Every piece is taken apart the way it was built, wrapped to suit its material, carried in a closed box truck with a tail-lift, then reassembled and levelled in its new spot. Send photos of your furniture on WhatsApp to +971557643821 and you will get a price and a crew slot.

Which emirates do we cover?

We work across the UAE, and furniture differs from one city to the next: Dubai towers come with service lifts and booked slots, Abu Dhabi and Al Ain villas hold larger, heavier pieces, and coastal homes in Ras Al Khaimah have garden sets and parasols. The table lists neighbourhoods we reach every day and what tends to dominate the requests there.

Each emirate has its own guide on our site. For Dubai see furniture movers in Dubai, and for the capital’s villas and heavy pieces see furniture movers in Abu Dhabi.

How we dismantle and reassemble each type of furniture

Dismantling decides whether a piece arrives intact. The usual mistake is rushing it and mixing up the screws, leaving the owner hunting for a missing bolt for a week. We photograph each piece before taking it apart, put its fittings in a clear bag labelled with the item and the room, and tape the bag to the largest panel.

Flat-pack chipboard furniture needs particular care because its screw holes widen every time it is forced apart and back together. We use low-torque drivers on these pieces and, with your agreement, swap a stripped screw for a slightly longer one.

Steps from your message to the final assembly

1. Send photos: photograph each piece and tell us both addresses, the floor and whether there is a lift.
2. Survey: a WhatsApp video call to measure large items and check door and corridor widths.
3. Price and date: the price comes on WhatsApp, and once you agree we book the day and time.
4. Permits: we help you book the service lift and the building move permit where needed.
5. Dismantling and wrapping: the crew starts with the largest pieces, wrapping and numbering each one.
6. Loading and transport: heavy items go low in the truck; glass and mirrors stand upright and strapped.
7. Assembly and placement: every piece is rebuilt in the room you choose and the wrapping waste is taken away.
8. Updates: the team messages you on WhatsApp at departure, arrival and when assembly is done.

Moving one piece or a few

Not everyone who needs movers is moving house. Many requests are a sofa bought from a showroom in Al Quoz, a bed passed on to a relative in Sharjah, or a bookcase heading to storage. We treat these as a service of their own: a small crew and a truck of the right size, with the same wrapping used on full moves.

• Collecting a second-hand piece from the seller’s home.
• Rearranging furniture between rooms or between villa floors.
• Bringing a piece from the showroom and assembling it.
• Taking surplus furniture to a nearby store.

The price of a single item depends on its size, the distance and the floor, so send a photo with both addresses on WhatsApp and the price will come back to you.

Office and company furniture

With offices the challenge is time more than weight. A business does not want to lose a working day, so we start office moves after hours or over the weekend and hand over the new space ready for the next morning.

• Every desk, chair and filing cabinet numbered against the new floor plan.
• Shared workstations and partitions taken down and rebuilt in the same layout.
• Computers and monitors in padded sleeves, cables bagged and numbered.
• Filing cabinets moved locked after heavy drawers are emptied into numbered cartons.
• Large meeting tables split from their bases; glass tops crated.

Heavy and valuable pieces

A steel safe weighing several hundred kilos or an upright piano is not lifted by hand alone. We bring dedicated dollies and lifting straps and plan the route from room to truck before touching it: door width, stairs, the lift’s rated load and the flooring it will cross.

On insurance: ask the team about optional insurance if you have high-value pieces, and they will explain what is available.

Protecting floors, walls and lifts

Building managements across the UAE usually ask for the lift and corridors to be protected, and a scratch on marble or parquet can come out of the deposit you paid the landlord. Before the first piece moves we lay rigid board runners on the floor, hang blankets on the lift walls and fit cardboard guards on door frames.

• Floor runners from the entrance to the last room.
• Corner guards on door frames and banisters.
• Blankets covering the walls and floor of the service lift.
• Sofa and table feet wrapped before they are slid.

Carpentry adjustments in the new home

Sometimes a wardrobe will not fit its new spot because the ceiling is lower or the wall a few centimetres shorter. A carpenter travels with the crew and can shorten a shelf, move a hinge, adjust a bed base or anchor a tall wardrobe to the wall so it cannot tip. We tell you the proposed change first and never cut a piece without your approval.

Wrapping by material

• Solid wood: cloth blankets first, then outer film, so plastic does not trap moisture against the wood.
• Leather: a cloth cover that stops the film sticking in the heat.
• Fabric: stretch film against dust and stains.
• Glass and mirrors: wooden crates or double cardboard frames with corner guards.
• Marble and granite: secured crates, stone carried upright.
• Metal: blankets so it cannot scratch the pieces beside it.

Tip: empty drawers and wardrobes before the crew arrives. A full wardrobe strains its hinges and its panels can work loose inside while being carried.

Tips before furniture moving day

• Measure the new home’s door and lift before moving a large sofa.
• Photograph every valuable piece before it is wrapped so you have a record of its condition.
• Keep flat-pack tools and assembly diagrams if you still have them.
• Leave room for the truck outside or ask the guard about the loading bay.
• Mark where each piece goes in the new home with a note on the door.

Sending urgent pieces abroad by air

If you are relocating to another country and need a few light items quickly, such as an ergonomic chair, a painting or a box of personal things, air freight is the fastest route, while the rest of the furniture travels by road to Saudi Arabia and the Gulf or by sea to farther countries. Long-distance details are in furniture moving in and out of the UAE. If you are moving a whole household with every room and the kitchen, see home movers in the UAE.

Storing furniture between two homes

When handover of the new home is delayed or you are waiting for maintenance, we can take the furniture dismantled and wrapped into short-term storage, then bring it back and assemble it once the place is ready. See furniture storage in the UAE for how storage works.

Frequently asked questions about furniture moving in the UAE

Do you move just one piece of furniture?

Yes. We move a single sofa, bed or wardrobe with dismantling, wrapping and assembly. Send a photo and both addresses on WhatsApp for a price.

Is dismantling and assembly included?

Basic dismantling and assembly of beds, wardrobes and tables is included in full-move prices. Kitchen dismantling and carpentry adjustments are priced by the work involved.

How long does it take to assemble a bedroom?

A standard bedroom of bed, wardrobe and dressing table usually takes one to two hours; a large sliding wardrobe can take longer to align its tracks.

Can you move furniture between emirates on the same day?

In most cases, yes, for example Dubai to Sharjah or Abu Dhabi to Al Ain. Longer runs like Abu Dhabi to Ras Al Khaimah need an early start.

Do you move office furniture at night?

Yes, we schedule office moves after hours or at weekends so work does not stop.

How do I get updates during the move?

The team messages you on WhatsApp at loading, departure, arrival and when assembly is finished.

Is there insurance for valuable pieces?

Ask the team about optional insurance before moving day and they will explain what is available for your items.
