Moving Services in Nairobi
What is different about moving services here
Nairobi moves are quoted on stairs and on traffic, in that order. Fourth-floor walk-ups at both ends can double the hours a move takes, and movers ask about the floor before they ask about the furniture.
Estate and building rules are the thing people forget. Many blocks restrict moving to certain hours, require the gate to be notified in advance, or have a lift that must be booked. Sorting that before the day is what separates a four-hour move from an eight-hour one.

What people post
Moving Services jobs posted in Nairobi
Every one of these can be posted as a one-off job to Nairobi providers.
- Full house moves
- Single room and bedsitter moves
- Office and business relocations
- One heavy item: a fridge, a sofa, a piano
- Packing services and materials
- Loading and offloading only, where you have the vehicle
- Pickup and lorry hire with a driver
- Moving between towns
- Short-term storage between moves
Writing the request
What to include so the offers come back usable
- Where you are moving from and to
- The floor at each end, and whether there is a working lift
- A list of the big items and a rough box count
- The date, and whether it can shift by a day
- Whether you need packing, or only moving
What moves the price
Why two quotes for the same job differ
- Volume, and the vehicle size it needs
- Distance, particularly between towns
- Stairs and the floor at both ends
- Packing, and whether materials are included
- How many people are needed to load and carry
Help24 does not publish price ranges for moving services. Quotes come from the movers themselves, and the number you agree is the number the payment is held against.
Before work starts
What to check with a mover
- Agree what happens if something is damaged, before the van is loaded
- Photograph anything valuable or already marked before it goes on
- Confirm the vehicle can actually reach both addresses and park
- Confirm whether the price is a fixed job price or by the hour
How Help24 works
Posting a moving services job
Describe the job
Say what needs doing and where you are. Posting is free, and you are not committing to anything by posting.
Nearby movers send offers
Providers near you quote their own price. Nobody is assigned to you — you see the offers and you choose.
Agree the price first
Nothing starts until you have accepted an offer. The number you agree is the number that gets held.
Pay by M-Pesa, released when it's done
Help24 holds the payment while the work happens. The provider can see it is there; neither side can move it until you confirm the job is finished.
