Furniture Moving Company in Jeddah | Bedrooms, Kitchens, Antiques and Offices

Gulf Al-Arab Company is a furniture moving company in Jeddah that moves each type of furniture in the way that suits it: bedroom sets and wardrobes, kitchens with their cabinets and stone worktops, sofas, majlis seating and dining rooms, antiques, glass and chandeliers, office and company furniture, and the contents of large villas. Moving one bedroom set with dismantling and reassembly starts from SAR 280, a sofa set starts from SAR 185, and the full furniture of a villa starts from SAR 920.

This page is for anyone who needs to move particular pieces or furniture that needs special handling. If you are moving your whole home from one district to another, the prices, steps, hoist and storage details are on the furniture movers in Jeddah page. Here we explain how each type of furniture is taken apart and wrapped, which tools and how many workers it needs, and the mistakes that damage valuable pieces.

Furniture moving prices in Jeddah by item type

Furniture moving prices in Jeddah depend on the type of piece, its size and weight, and whether it needs a carpenter or a technician, starting from SAR 185 for a sofa set. The table below gathers the starting points for the most requested items:

Items whose price varies widely from one home to the next, such as kitchens, office furniture and large antiques, have no fixed price, because a three-metre kitchen is a completely different job from a ten-metre U-shaped kitchen with a marble top. For these pieces we look first, then agree the amount with you.

Bedroom furniture moving in Jeddah

Moving a bedroom set in Jeddah starts from SAR 280 per room and covers dismantling the bed, wardrobe, dressing table and bedside tables, wrapping them, moving them and putting them back together. The bedroom is the piece that most needs a real carpenter, because a wardrobe assembled badly ends up with doors that sag or will not close.

Dressing tables and large mirrors travel separately from the frame. The mirror is wrapped in bubble wrap, then reinforced card on both faces, and loaded standing on its edge rather than lying on its face. Mattresses go into sealed covers so they do not soak up Jeddah’s humid air or get dirty during loading.

Kitchen dismantling, moving and refitting in Jeddah

Kitchen dismantling and refitting in Jeddah is priced after a visit, so ask about the price at the site visit, because it depends on the kitchen length, whether it is wood or aluminium, and whether it has a marble or granite top. The kitchen is the hardest part of a home to move, since it is fixed to the wall and connected to water and power.

1. Measuring: we measure the kitchen at the old home and the space at the new one before dismantling, to know whether it will fit as it is or needs adjusting.
2. Disconnecting appliances: the oven, gas, washing machine and water heater are disconnected and the water valves closed before the sink comes out.
3. Wall cabinets: emptied and removed first, numbered from right to left.
4. Base cabinets and worktop: a marble or granite top is lifted by enough workers and moved standing up.
5. Refitting: cabinets fixed perfectly level, then the worktop, then the sink reconnected.

Solid wood kitchens and those built from pressed board can take being taken apart and refitted once or twice when an experienced carpenter handles them. Aluminium kitchens are light and easy to move, but their corners need protection so they do not bend. If the new space is shorter than the old kitchen, one or more units can be left out or rearranged, and we tell you this before dismantling, not after.

Moving sofas, majlis seating and dining rooms in Jeddah

Moving a sofa set starts from SAR 185, and a dining room with its table and chairs starts from SAR 370. Sofas usually are not taken apart, so moving them depends on good wrapping and on knowing the door and staircase sizes before lifting.

• Corner sofas: some sets split into modules, others are one long piece that needs a hoist in apartment buildings.
• Arabic majlis: floor cushions, back rests and small tables are grouped and each group wrapped together.
• Dining tables: legs come off where possible, and a glass or marble top travels separately and upright.
• Sideboards and display cabinets: emptied of dishes, with glass doors held shut by tape that leaves no mark.
• Upholstered chairs: wrapped in film so the fabric stays clean during loading.

Light fabrics and real leather are sensitive to rubbing, so we put a blanket on the sofa first and film over it, and we never wrap film straight onto leather on hot days, because heat trapped under the film can mark the surface.

Moving antiques, glass and chandeliers in Jeddah

Antiques, glassware and chandeliers in Jeddah need individual wrapping for every piece, so ask about the price at the site visit, since the number and size of items vary a great deal. These pieces often cannot be replaced, so they are treated as a separate consignment within the move.

A technician takes the chandelier down after cutting the power. The crystals are lifted off one by one into a divided box and the metal frame is wrapped separately. At the new home it goes back up before the furniture beneath it is arranged, so the technician can move freely.

Steel safes and pianos are very heavy for their size and are moved with extra workers and lifting straps; in tall buildings a hoist can be safer than the stairs. We plan for these pieces before moving day so we bring the right equipment.

Moving appliances and air conditioners in Jeddah

Moving appliances is a core part of any furniture move in Jeddah, and moving one air conditioner starts from SAR 90. Appliances are usually damaged by poor preparation before the move rather than by the road.

The cable connections of the TV, sound system and internet are photographed before unplugging, and the remotes and cables go into one bag with the device. These small details save you hours of searching after the move.

Office and company furniture moving in Jeddah

Office and company moves in Jeddah are planned around the number of desks, devices and files, so ask about the price at the site visit. The aim of an office move is to get staff back to work as quickly as possible, so much of it happens at the weekend or after working hours.

• Every desk, chair and drawer numbered by employee name or desk number on the new layout.
• Computers, screens and printers each packed in their own carton with their cables.
• Files and archives moved in cartons numbered in the same sequence they had on the shelves.
• Meeting tables, filing cabinets and partitions dismantled and rebuilt at the new office.
• Steel cabinets and heavy equipment moved with suitable gear.

Before the move we ask for the new office layout, or agree with you where each department goes, so everything goes straight to its place. For shops and small clinics we coordinate with the owner to keep closing days to a minimum.

Villa and palace furniture moving in Jeddah

Moving villa furniture in Jeddah starts from SAR 920 and rises with the number of floors, halls, majlis areas and rooms. A villa differs from a flat in that the furniture is bigger and heavier, and there is usually outdoor furniture, an annex, staff rooms and a storeroom.

In villas we split the work between two or more crews: one dismantles and wraps upstairs, another loads from the ground floor, and a carpenter moves between rooms. Large majlis areas, antiques and chandeliers get all the time they need, and marble internal stairs are protected with card or blankets so they are not scratched while carrying.

• Garden furniture and outdoor seating are cleaned of dust before wrapping.
• The annex and driver’s or housekeeper’s rooms are moved on the same day or later, as you prefer.
• The storeroom is sorted first, since it often holds things that do not need moving.
• Sports equipment and large toys are dismantled and wrapped like the rest of the furniture.

Villas in north Jeddah close to the sea, such as Obhur, Al-Shati and Al-Muhammadiyah, have outdoor furniture exposed to humidity and salt, so we check the metal parts before dismantling and spray rusted screws with a release agent instead of breaking them. In the newer villas of south and east Jeddah, such as Al-Hamdaniyah and Al-Samer, many families are moving from a flat to a villa, so the work is more about spreading furniture over a larger space and assembling new pieces bought for the extra rooms.

We advise villa owners to set aside a separate day for the valuable pieces alone, such as antiques, chandeliers and handmade rugs, before or after the main moving day, so they do not get mixed with cartons and ordinary furniture and the owner is free to supervise them.

Assembling new and flat-pack furniture in Jeddah

Assembling new furniture in Jeddah starts from SAR 185, whether you bought it from a local showroom or from flat-pack stores such as IKEA. We collect the furniture from the showroom or your home and assemble it in the rooms as you wish.

Flat-pack furniture is made of pressed board, and if it is taken apart and rebuilt more than once its screw holes widen. So when moving it we recommend dismantling only the large pieces such as wardrobes and beds, and moving smaller pieces such as bedside tables and shelves assembled, once wrapped.

Moving rugs, curtains and accessories

Rugs, curtains and accessories look like small items, but they take time to move if they are not prepared properly, and in most cases they are moved as part of the room with no separate charge.

• Large rugs: shaken out and rolled into a cylinder face inwards, then wrapped in film and tied at both ends.
• Handmade and silk rugs: rolled in cotton cloth first so they do not rub against film, and never folded.
• Curtains: taken down with their rods and rings and folded into bags labelled with the room and window.
• Paintings and frames: wrapped with corner guards and card, with the back numbered by wall.
• Lamps and lighting: bulbs removed and wrapped alone, and fabric shades packed in a separate bag.

Hanging curtains and paintings at the new home means drilling the walls, so if you want the crew to do it, tell us in advance so the carpenter brings the drilling kit and fixings that suit the wall type.

Delivering new furniture from showrooms in Jeddah

Delivering new furniture from showrooms to your home in Jeddah is a common request, especially when the showroom does not deliver or only does so after a long wait. We collect the furniture from the showroom or warehouse, check the number of boxes and pieces against the invoice, then move and assemble it at your home, with assembly starting from SAR 185.

At collection we inspect the visible pieces in your presence or in coordination with you; any breakage or missing part is recorded before loading, because discovering it after assembly makes replacement harder. For new bedroom sets we assemble the wardrobe in its final position straight away, because moving a large assembled wardrobe from one room to another strains its joints.

Moving furniture for hotels and serviced apartments in Jeddah

Moving furniture for hotels and serviced apartments in Jeddah differs from moving homes because the pieces are numerous and repeated, and several units usually need fitting out at once. Ask about the price at the site visit, since the amount depends on the number of units and what each contains.

For this kind of job we work unit by unit: each apartment or hotel room has a fixed inventory, such as a bed, mattress, two bedside tables, a wardrobe, a screen, a small table and two chairs. Everything is numbered by unit and loaded and unloaded in the same order, so furniture goes straight into the right unit with no sorting in the corridors. This suits owners of serviced buildings who are moving furnishings from an old building to a new one, or refurbishing some units and storing the old furniture.

• An inventory of each unit before dismantling, with a copy of the list handed over.
• Mattresses wrapped in sealed covers so they stay clean for guests.
• Beds, wardrobes and screens assembled and curtains hung in every unit.
• Work done in phases if the building is partly occupied by guests.

How many workers and how much time does each type of furniture need?

The number of workers and the time needed depend more on the type of pieces than on their number. These practical estimates help you plan your day:

These times are approximate; they grow if the building has no lift or pieces need a hoist, and shrink if small items are packed in advance. We tell you the expected time for your furniture before the day so you can coordinate receiving the new home and handing back the old one.

Preparing the new home to receive the furniture

Preparing the new home before the furniture arrives shortens assembly and stops pieces being moved from room to room more than once. The most important things to do before moving day are to measure the doors, corridors and lift, and decide where each large piece will go.

1. Draw a simple plan of each room showing where the bed, wardrobe and sofa go, and give it to the crew leader.
2. Measure door widths and lift height, especially if you have a long sofa or a large wardrobe.
3. Make sure power points, the TV mounting spot and AC openings are ready.
4. Finish painting and cleaning before the furniture comes in, so it is not exposed to dust and paint.
5. Set aside a small room for cartons so the living room does not get crowded during assembly.

If you are not sure where some pieces will go, the crew can place them in a covered temporary spot and we come back to assemble them once you decide. What matters is that dismantled parts are not left on the floor unsorted, where they get scratched or lose their screws.

Common furniture moving problems and how we avoid them

Most furniture moving problems in Jeddah are well known and can be avoided by planning before moving day. These are the ones that come up most:

Because Jeddah districts differ in how they are built, we always ask about the building type, floor and lift, whether you are in the north such as Al-Shati, Al-Rawdah and Al-Naeem, the centre such as Al-Hamra, Al-Aziziyah and Mushrifah, the east such as Al-Safa, Al-Marwah and Al-Naseem, or the south such as Al-Hamdaniyah, Al-Sanabel and Al-Bawadi.

Why choose Gulf Al-Arab Company to move your furniture in Jeddah?

What matters in a furniture move is that every piece comes back as it was. That is why we send a carpenter with the crew for wooden furniture, a technician for air conditioners and chandeliers when needed, and prepare the right packing materials for each type before the day.
