A move does not mean you have to do it all yourself. Anyone who plans to move without a professional company in Barcelona should also plan to recruit friends, or to hire labour just for the lifting. From heavy boxes and bulky furniture to loading and unloading the van, it is a large physical job.
That is why we do not recommend turning the day into an amateur project if the home has stairs, white goods or pieces you care about. Friends can help with labelling and with looking after children. The loading itself is safer with people who do it every week.
A professional company should give you a written quote, arrive with enough people and protect floors and furniture. Ask what happens if the job overruns because of access, not because anyone worked slowly.
NorDecco Mudanzas has been that kind of company in Barcelona since 1990. If you need help with the move, call Jesus on +34 657 484 863 or use our contact form.
