The moving problem

Pretoria to Johannesburg is the same 60 kilometres in the other direction, with the same traffic problem and the same advice: a fixed price for a described load beats an hourly rate on this route. The difference is the delivery end. Johannesburg deliveries are mostly into estates and complexes in the north with gate clearance and moving hours, or blocks in Sandton, Rosebank and Midrand with lift bookings and no basement access for trucks.

Pretoria collections have their own shape: estates in Pretoria East and Centurion with gates, big houses in Waterkloof and Brooklyn with long carries, and student flats in Hatfield and Sunnyside with loading limits.

Moving questions people ask

  • Two-bedroom flat in Hatfield to a Rosebank block, lift booked at both ends
  • Three-bedroom house in Pretoria East to a Fourways estate at month-end
  • Student finishing at UP moving to Braamfontein for work
  • Full house from Centurion to Bryanston, packing wanted
  • Small load from Brooklyn to Sandton, flexible on the day
  • Office furniture from a Pretoria office to Midrand over a weekend
