Moving Company Berlin Mahlsdorf

Mahlsdorf lies on the eastern edge of the city in the district of Marzahn-Hellersdorf and borders directly on Brandenburg. Together with Kaulsdorf and Biesdorf, the locality forms one of the largest contiguous areas of detached houses in Berlin. Anyone moving here usually does not move into a flat but into a house with a garden, cellar and garage – or leaves such a house after many years. As your moving company Berlin Mahlsdorf, we know the particular features of these moves and plan them accordingly.

Moving company Berlin Mahlsdorf: moves around the detached house

A house move is clearly different from a flat move. There are more rooms, more storage space and usually more things that have accumulated over the years. On top of that come areas that are often thought of last when planning: attic, cellar, workshop, garden shed, carport. During the survey, we therefore walk with you through the entire property, not just the living room.

Streets and access in Mahlsdorf

Many residential streets in Mahlsdorf are quiet, narrow and designated for residents’ access only. Some are not or only partly paved. For a large removal lorry this can be a challenge, especially after rain or when cars are parked along the roadside. We look at the access beforehand and choose the right vehicle. Sometimes a smaller vehicle making two trips makes more sense than a large lorry that cannot get up to the property.

Long routes across the property

There are often twenty or thirty metres between the garden gate and the front door, sometimes with steps or across the lawn. These routes take time. We factor them into the calculation and bring dollies, sack trucks and protective mats. We protect garden paths and lawns as well as we can.

Alt-Mahlsdorf and main roads

On the B1 federal road in Alt-Mahlsdorf and on Hultschiner Damm and Hönower Straße, traffic is heavy. If you live on one of these roads, you will usually need a parking restriction zone for the move. We apply for it on request – more under parking restriction zone Berlin.

From house to flat: the most common move in Mahlsdorf

Many Mahlsdorf residents built or bought their house decades ago and raised their children there. At some point the garden becomes too much work and the stairs too steep. Moving to a smaller, barrier-free flat is then a big step – practically and emotionally. We help you take it calmly and thoughtfully.

What comes along and what does not

A house with five or six rooms does not fit into a three-room flat. Before we pack boxes, a floor plan of the new flat helps you decide which furniture comes along. What is left over can go to family and friends, be sold or donated. We clear and dispose of the rest – information under flat clearance Berlin and house clearance Berlin.

Gently and without time pressure

Older customers in particular appreciate it when the move does not happen on a single hectic day. We can pack over several days, room by room, and set everything up in the new flat so that it is liveable on the first evening. More on the page senior move Berlin.

Into a house in Mahlsdorf: moving from the city centre

Conversely, many families move from Friedrichshain, Lichtenberg or Prenzlauer Berg to Mahlsdorf because they are looking for more space and a garden. Then it is out of a period building without a lift and into a house with ground-level access. New furniture is often bought for the house, which we can assemble straight away when you move in – see assembly service Berlin.

Moving with children

We load the children’s furniture so that it is the first to be unloaded and set up at the destination. We also transport play equipment, bicycles and sandpit toys, provided they have been cleaned and gathered together beforehand.

What a house move in Mahlsdorf costs

The price depends above all on the volume, and with houses this is often larger than expected. Access, carrying distances, furniture assembly, kitchen dismantling and disposal also play a role.

Area	What you should think of
Living areas	furniture, boxes, lamps, pictures
Cellar and attic	supplies, tools, keepsakes, seasonal items
Garage and carport	bicycles, tyres, garden tools
Garden and garden shed	garden furniture, lawnmower, plant tubs
Kitchen	dismantling and reassembly, possibly adapting the worktop

You can find guide values on our page moving company Berlin costs. For a house move, we always recommend an on-site survey so that the fixed price is really accurate.

Checklist for your house move in Mahlsdorf

• Start sorting early – for houses at least two to three months in advance
• Do not leave the cellar, attic and garage until the last week
• Clean garden furniture and equipment, drain the petrol from the lawnmower
• Keep the access clear on moving day and inform the neighbours
• Note meter readings, have keys for the garage and garden shed ready
• Register at the Bürgeramt (citizens’ office) within two weeks

Typical mistakes when moving house

The most common mistake is underestimating the volume. A house that has been lived in for thirty years contains more than you see when walking through the living areas. The second mistake: the cellar and attic are only opened on moving day. Plan these areas in early, then the vehicle will be the right size and the day will run calmly. You can find more tips in our moving checklist.

Interim storage

If the sale of the house and moving into the new flat do not take place on the same day, we store your furniture. More under storage Berlin.

Mahlsdorf, Kaulsdorf, Biesdorf: a residential area with its own logic

The three localities merge into one another, and for a move they are very similar: many detached and semi-detached houses, large plots, little through traffic in the side streets. The S-Bahn connects Mahlsdorf with the city centre, and via the B1 federal road you are quickly in Brandenburg. For us, this means short driving distances but longer working days at the house itself.

Houses of different ages and their quirks

Many houses in Mahlsdorf date from the 1920s and 1930s; others have been newly built in recent decades. In older houses, the stairs to the upper floor are often steep and narrow, doors are lower than is usual today, and the attic can only be reached via a loft ladder. Large wardrobes may have been carried up there in pieces years ago – and have to come down the same way. We plan time and tools for this.

When the house is being sold

When a house is sold, the handover date is often firmly agreed. By then, the house must be empty and swept clean. We coordinate the move and clearance so that both are finished on time and, on request, also dispose of things that are neither coming along nor being sold.

Weather and season

Because a lot is carried outdoors during a house move, the weather plays a bigger role than with a flat. When it rains, we protect furniture with film and lay out mats so that no dirt gets into the house. In winter we watch out for icy paths and ask you to keep them gritted on moving day.

Neighbours and access

In quiet residential streets, a removal lorry is noticeable. Inform your neighbours shortly beforehand, especially if the vehicle will block a driveway or part of the street for a few hours. This saves discussions on moving day and ensures the access stays clear.

If you only want to take individual pieces of furniture from the house to your children, a furniture transport is often the right solution – even beyond the city limits.

Your move in Mahlsdorf – the next step

For a house in Mahlsdorf, we need the address, living space and preferred date – by phone on 030 612 964 73 or in writing. We look at the house, sheds and access in the residential street free of charge and send you a written fixed-price quote.

As a moving company Berlin, we also work in the neighbouring localities, for example in Hellersdorf, Marzahn and Köpenick. If you are moving to the Brandenburg surroundings, you can find information under regional move Berlin, and an overview of all localities is available at moving company Berlin districts.

Hedges, fences and property boundaries

Many plots in Mahlsdorf are enclosed by hedges or fences, and the gate to the garden is narrow. Large furniture then sometimes has to be carried via the driveway or even across the neighbour’s garden. Talk to your neighbours in advance if it is foreseeable that we will need to use their path briefly. Usually a friendly word is enough, and there is no trouble on moving day.
