Moving from one flat to another in Ajman, or from a tower in Al Nuaimiya to a villa in Al Helio? Al Basmah International Shipping handles the whole move: a WhatsApp or video survey, room-by-room packing, service-lift booking with both building managements, dismantling, a closed truck, and reassembly at the new place. A studio move starts from AED 920. Send photos of your home to +971557643821 and you get the price and an available slot.

Your Tower-to-Tower Move
- We book the service lift and agree loading and unloading times with the old and the new building.
- Kitchen, wardrobes and children’s rooms are each packed their own way, and every carton is numbered by room.
- Beds and wardrobes are taken apart and put back together in the new flat on the same day.
- Closed white box trucks with tail-lifts, and a crew in uniform.
- Updates on WhatsApp at each stage: crew arrival, loading done, departure, handover.
Ajman neighbourhoods we move from and to
We cover all of Ajman, but each area works differently. Busy towers need a lift booking and a parking spot; newer villas need a bigger truck and a larger crew. Here is what we arrange before we reach each area.
| Area | Typical housing | What we arrange in advance |
|---|---|---|
| Al Nuaimiya (Nuaimiya Towers) | Closely packed residential towers | Service-lift booking and a truck spot near the entrance, as streets are narrow |
| Al Rashidiya | Older and newer blocks on the Sharjah border | Loading outside the morning rush towards Sharjah and Dubai |
| Al Rumaila and the Corniche | Sea-view apartments | Humidity protection and the right rear loading entrance |
| Downtown (Al Khor Towers) | High-rise towers | Splitting the crew between floor, lift and truck to cut waiting time |
| Al Sawan (Ajman One) | Modern tower complex | Move permit from management and the allowed time windows |
| Emirates City and Garden City | Towers and compounds away from the centre | An extra truck for heavy items when needed |
| Al Helio, Al Yasmeen and Al Alia | Newer villas | Kitchen and built-in wardrobe dismantling on request, larger crew |
| Al Jurf, Al Mowaihat, Al Hamidiya and Al Rawda | Villas and older family houses | Sometimes tight lanes, so a medium truck |
| Al Bustan and Al Zahra | Apartments and villa compounds | Blankets and cartons prepared to match the number of rooms |
If your new home is in Sharjah, Dubai or Umm Al Quwain, the same crew moves you between emirates, and our nearby Sharjah branch (Industrial Area 18) keeps truck arrival times in Ajman short.
Tower rules in Ajman: what to sort out before moving day
Most delays on an Ajman move come from the building, not the furniture: a lift nobody booked, a guard nobody told, a parking bay already taken. So we start with the building before the boxes. Most managements want at least a day’s notice for the service lift, some ask for a refundable deposit returned after the corridors are checked, and some older blocks have no loading bay, so the truck stops at the entrance.
Building management
We send you the wording for your request and ask you for a move-out permit from the old tower and move-in approval at the new one.
Service lift
Lift walls and floor are covered with blankets before the first item, and the heaviest pieces go first to cut the number of trips.
Truck parking
We agree the spot and time with the guard and avoid the morning and evening commuter peaks.
If a building has no lift fit for furniture, or a wardrobe is bigger than the lift door, the crew carries pieces down the stairs with shoulder straps, taking apart whatever needs it so railings and walls stay unmarked.

How your Ajman flat move works, step by step
- Survey: film each room on WhatsApp or join a video call; we ask about the floor, the lift and any large items.
- Price and date: you get the price in writing on WhatsApp with what it covers: packing, dismantling and assembly, crew size, truck size.
- Both buildings ready: you book the lift with both managements and we send the truck details they ask for.
- Packing day: larger homes are packed the day before; a studio or one-bedroom is done in a single day.
- Dismantling and loading: beds and wardrobes come apart, heavy items line the sides of the box, cartons go in the middle, and everything is strapped.
- Unloading and assembly: each carton goes to its numbered room and the furniture is set where you want it.
- Final walk-through: we go through the home with you before the crew leaves and take away spare plastic and cardboard.
Packing the home, room by room
Rooms are not packed the same way. A kitchen needs paper and dividers, clothes need hanging cartons, and a child’s room needs packing that makes the first night in the new home calm. This is how we handle each one.
Kitchen
Every plate and cup is wrapped on its own and stood on edge rather than laid flat; glassware goes into divided cartons. The fridge is switched off hours ahead so it can drain and dry, and the washing machine drum is secured and its hose emptied. Open spices and liquids go into sealed bags before the carton so nothing around them gets wet.

Wardrobes and bedrooms
Hanging clothes travel in wardrobe cartons with rails, so they arrive without needing an iron. Wardrobes are emptied and their doors removed first, and mirrors are covered with hard board and corner guards. Mattresses go into full plastic covers, because dust from stairwells and lifts sticks to them quickly.
Children’s rooms
Each child gets a “first night” carton with pyjamas, a favourite toy and school things. It is loaded last so it comes off first. Children’s beds and small desks are taken apart and their screws bagged and taped to the piece itself.
Living room and appliances
Screens are wrapped in blankets and travel upright, sofas get stretch film and then a blanket, and rugs are rolled after the dust is shaken out. Device cables go into small bags labelled with the device name.
How much does a home move in Ajman cost?
These figures are starting points for a move inside Ajman with basic packing and bed and wardrobe dismantling. The final price is set after the WhatsApp survey.
| Home type | Price starts from |
|---|---|
| Studio | AED 920 |
| One-bedroom flat | AED 1,100 |
| Two-bedroom flat | AED 1,650 |
| Three-bedroom villa | AED 3,700 |
| Single item, office, move to another emirate or abroad | Send the details on WhatsApp and get your price |
What decides the price?
| Factor | How it affects your Ajman move |
|---|---|
| Volume | The number of rooms and items sets the truck size and crew size |
| Floors and lifts | A tower with a booked service lift is faster than a walk-up |
| Distance | A move inside Ajman costs less than one to Dubai or Abu Dhabi |
| Packing level | Full packing of every room, or only the fragile items |
| Dismantling | Large wardrobes and kitchens taken apart on request take longer |
| Timing | Month-end and weekends are busier than mid-week |
| Parking and permits | A building that only allows moves in set hours may need a bigger crew to finish in time |
Tip: when you film your home for the survey, open the wardrobes and film inside, and film the kitchen from above. A closed wardrobe says nothing about how many cartons it needs.
Moving day: how the hours go
For a two-bedroom flat the crew arrives in the morning, finishes any remaining packing and dismantling in the first hours, then loads the heaviest pieces first: fridge, washing machine and dismantled wardrobes, then cartons, and the first-night cartons last. At the new place everything comes off in reverse, so beds are assembled first and you can sleep there that night, then wardrobes, then the living room.
Setting up the new home
Setting up is more than dropping pieces in rooms. We assemble beds and wardrobes and adjust their doors, rebuild the kitchen if you asked for it to be taken apart, and place cartons in the rooms they are numbered for. A few days before the move, apply for your electricity and water connection with Etihad Water and Electricity; it usually takes one to three working days, and you do not want the fridge arriving at a flat with no power.

If the new home is not ready yet, we can hold your furniture for a short time and deliver it when you get the keys. See our guide to furniture storage in Ajman.
Warning: Do not hand back the keys to the old flat until the last carton is out and you have checked built-in wardrobes, the loft space and the balcony. Things are often left in bathroom cabinets and on top of wardrobes, and they are hard to get back once the landlord has the flat.
Moving-day checklist
- Service lift confirmed at both buildings, with the exact time.
- Fridge switched off and dry; washing machine drained.
- Jewellery, official papers and passports in a bag with you, not on the truck.
- A first-night carton for each family member.
- Photos of device connections before unplugging, to make reconnecting easy.
- Final meter reading taken at the old flat and disconnection requested.
- Phone charger and the new keys in your pocket.
If your new home is outside Ajman or outside the UAE
A move to another emirate usually happens in the same truck on the same day. Moves to Saudi Arabia or the Gulf go by road in a closed truck, and farther destinations go by sea. Light urgent items, such as a folder of papers or small devices you need the moment you land, can go by air freight so they arrive before the rest. Distances and documents are covered in furniture moving in and out of Ajman; for heavy pieces on their own see furniture movers in Ajman; and to compare all emirates in one place read home movers in the UAE.
Questions Ajman residents ask before moving
How long does a two-bedroom move in Ajman take?
Usually one working day from the start of packing to the end of assembly, as long as the lift is booked at both buildings. Larger flats or villas may need a packing day before moving day.
Do you book the service lift?
The booking is made in the resident’s name with the management, but we send you the truck, crew and timing details they ask for and coordinate with the guard on the day.
Can you move in the evening?
Yes, if the building allows it. Some towers set move hours for residents’ comfort; we keep to them and add crew to finish within the window.
Do you take kitchens apart?
Kitchen cabinets can be dismantled and refitted on request, priced after we see photos, since some kitchens are fixed in a way that does not allow a full move.
How do I know where my furniture is?
The crew messages you on WhatsApp at each stage: arrival, loading finished, departure, arrival at the new building, and handover.
Is there insurance on my furniture?
Ask the team about optional insurance when you request the price; the details are explained to you before the move date.
Do you move just one item, like a fridge or sofa?
Yes. Send a photo of the item, the floor and both addresses on WhatsApp and you get the price.
