Furniture Movers in Nairobi for Big, Heavy and Precious Pieces

KejaPal are furniture movers in Nairobi who move single pieces and whole rooms with the care they deserve. Whether it is a new sofa from the shop, a solid wood wardrobe or a family antique, we wrap it properly, carry it safely and place it exactly where you want it.

  • Single items or full rooms, any day
  • Blankets, film and corner guards on every piece
  • Taking apart, moving and rebuilding included

Furniture is heavy, awkward and often worth more than it looks. A scratched table top, a cracked mirror or a wardrobe that will not close after a move can spoil a new home. Therefore we treat each piece as if it were our own, from the first blanket to the last screw.

This page covers single-item moves, whole-room moves and specialist pieces such as pianos, safes and antiques. For full house moves, see our house moving service.

What our furniture movers in Nairobi move

In fact, we move almost anything that fits through a door, a window or over a balcony. Common jobs include:

  • Living room. Sofa sets, sectional sofas, recliners, coffee tables, TV stands and wall units.
  • Bedroom. Beds, mattresses, wardrobes, dressing tables and chests of drawers.
  • Dining room. Tables with glass or wood tops, chairs, sideboards and display cabinets.
  • Appliances. Fridges, cookers, washing machines and dishwashers.
  • Outdoor. Garden furniture, gym equipment and play sets.
  • Special pieces. Pianos, safes, antiques, artwork, aquariums and pool tables.

Single-item furniture moving in Nairobi

Many of our jobs involve just one or two pieces. For example, you buy a sofa set at a shop on Mombasa Road, but the shop's delivery is days away. Or you want to send a bed to your sister in Ruaka. In those cases, we send a pickup or small truck with two careful movers.

Single-item moves are also quick to book and usually happen within a day or two. The crew wraps the item, carries it out, ties it on the vehicle and places it at the new address. As a result, you do not need to find helpers or a vehicle yourself.

How we protect furniture

Different materials need different protection. So our crew follows simple rules for each type:

  • Wood. Blankets first, then stretch film over the blankets, so film never touches polished surfaces.
  • Fabric sofas. Stretch film or plastic covers to keep out dust and dirt.
  • Leather. Blankets only, because film can trap heat and mark the leather.
  • Glass and mirrors. Cardboard corners, bubble wrap and a picture box or crate.
  • Drawers and doors. Taped or wrapped shut, so they do not open during the move.

We also protect your home. Door frames get padding, floors get runners where needed, and corners on stairs get blankets.

Taking furniture apart and putting it back together

Large beds, wardrobes, dining tables and wall units often need to come apart to fit through doors and stairwells. Our crew carries basic tools on every job. They take pieces apart, bag and label the screws for each item, and rebuild everything at the new home.

Flat-pack furniture can be tricky, because it weakens each time it is taken apart. So we handle it gently and replace worn screws where possible. For new flat-pack items, our furniture assembly team can build them from the box.

Specialist furniture and heavy items

Some items need extra people, special equipment and a plan made before the day.

  • Pianos. Upright and grand pianos need a piano dolly, straps and a trained team. See our piano moving page.
  • Safes. Heavy safes need a stair-climbing trolley or lifting gear, and a check of floor strength. See our safe and heavy item moving page.
  • Antiques and artwork. Fragile old pieces often need custom crates and very careful handling.
  • Vehicles. Cars and motorbikes travel on a flatbed truck. See our car transport page.
  • Aquariums and pool tables. These need draining or dismantling first, which we plan with you.

How furniture moving in Nairobi is priced

We price furniture moves after seeing the items, usually from photos. The quote covers the vehicle, crew, wrapping and placing at the new address.

Stairs, long carries and taking items apart add to the price. For full moves, see the moving cost guide.

Buying furniture? We can collect it

Many people buy furniture at markets, showrooms or from sellers online. Shop delivery can take days, while a random pickup often comes with no helpers and no blankets. So our furniture movers in Nairobi can collect your purchase, check it for damage before loading, and deliver it to your room.

Before collection, ask the seller for the item's size and whether it comes apart. That helps us bring the right vehicle and tools. If you buy second-hand furniture, inspect it in person first, because returns are hard once the item has moved.

Moving furniture between rooms or floors

Sometimes furniture does not need to leave the building at all. Landlords, offices and families often call furniture movers in Nairobi just to shift heavy pieces within the same compound or block. For example, you might want to swap two bedrooms, move a heavy cabinet upstairs or rearrange a whole office. Our crew can do that safely in a few hours, which saves you from straining your back or scratching the floors. Afterwards, we can also hang pictures and mirrors in their new spots.

Selling, donating or clearing old furniture

A move is a good time to decide what to keep. If a piece is not worth moving, we can take it away instead. Our junk removal service clears unwanted furniture, and we separate items that can go to charity or recycling. Large items left on the street can lead to fines, so it pays to dispose of them properly. Nairobi residents can check county rules on the Nairobi City County website.

Common problems

Antiques, heirlooms and valuable pieces

Old furniture is often more fragile than it looks. For instance, joints may be loose, veneers may lift and glass may be thin. So before we lift an antique, we check it with you and note any existing damage. Then we wrap it in soft blankets, pad any legs or carvings, and carry it with extra hands.

For very valuable pieces, we can build a simple wooden crate on site. In addition, we suggest you photograph the piece before the move and keep the photos with your records. If the item is insured, tell your insurer about the move date in advance.

Tips before the furniture movers arrive

  • Empty drawers and cupboards, especially in heavy wardrobes and sideboards.
  • Remove glass shelves and doors, or tell us so we can remove them safely.
  • Measure doorways at the new home, particularly for large sofas and fridges.
  • Clear a path from each room to the door, and move rugs that could slip.
  • Keep children and pets away from the route while heavy pieces move, and switch off ceiling fans along the way.

These small steps make the job faster. As a result, they also make it cheaper, because the crew spends less time on site.

Why choose our furniture movers in Nairobi

Customers come back to us because their furniture arrives the way it left. We arrive with the right number of people, the right vehicle and enough blankets for every piece. Also, we rebuild what we take apart and place each item where you want it. In short, furniture moving in Nairobi does not have to mean scratches and stress.

Need something moved? Send us photos and both addresses, and we will reply with a price, often within the hour during working hours. We can usually move single items within one or two days of your call.

Getting a fair price for furniture movers in Nairobi

A fair price for furniture movers in Nairobi starts with an assessment, not a price list. First, we look at your items by video call, photos or a short visit. Next, we send a written quote listing the crew, the truck and any extras. Then we talk it through, and you can adjust the scope to suit your budget. Finally, we confirm the agreed price in writing, so everyone knows exactly what is included before the crew arrives.

Frequently asked questions

How much does it cost to move one sofa in Nairobi?

It depends on the size of the move, the distance, access such as stairs and lifts, and any packing or special items. We assess the job by survey or video call, then agree the final price with you in a written quote.

Can you collect furniture I bought from a shop?

Yes. We collect from shops, markets and private sellers, check the item before loading and deliver it to your room.

Do you take apart and rebuild beds and wardrobes?

Yes. Our crew takes apart beds, wardrobes and tables when needed, labels the screws and rebuilds everything at the new home.

Can a sofa go through a window or over a balcony?

Sometimes, yes. If a sofa will not fit through the door or stairs, we can use ropes to lower or lift it via a balcony, when it is safe to do so.

Do you move furniture on weekends?

Yes. We move furniture every day of the week, including Saturdays and Sundays.
