Local movers in Surrey, BC. We’re the crew that’s moved hundreds of homes from Fleetwood to South Surrey, and we run our own trucks and our own movers, no subcontractors knocking on your door. Get a clear, hourly quote before a single box leaves the house.
Honest hourly estimate. No obligation.
We’re Surrey’s local movers, based right here at 164 St in east Surrey. For 6+ years we’ve packed, lifted and hauled homes across every Surrey pocket, the townhouse rows in Clayton Heights, the older houses off Fraser Highway in Fleetwood, the towers going up around Surrey City Centre. We’ve mapped which buildings have tight elevators and which Newton cul-de-sacs a 26-footer can’t back into.
Every move is run by our own crew. We don’t hand your stuff to a day-labour outfit and hope for the best. The same trained movers who show up at your door are the ones who load the truck, drive it, and set your couch down where you want it.
Pricing is simple. We bill on the actual hours worked, and we break the whole thing down for you up front before move day. No surprise line items when the truck pulls away. You’ll know how the clock works before you ever sign off.
From a Fleetwood bungalow to a big Fraser Heights home, we move whole houses across Surrey, basements, garages and the suite downstairs included. We size the crew to the square footage so the day stays on schedule.
A high-rise tower around Surrey City Centre or a low-rise walk-up in Newton, we book the elevator and loading bay, protect the long corridors, and keep it inside your strata move-in window.
The Clayton Heights and Sullivan Station strata complexes, and the basement suites all over Surrey, narrow streets and tight stairs handled without a scratch.
You pay for the hours the move takes, broken down before we start. Never a flat-rate guess.
The team that quotes your move is the team that shows up and does it.

Real five-star reviews from our Surrey customers, straight from Google.
Excellent experience with Local Movers Ltd (July 6th, 2026). The team was professional, efficient, and very careful with my items. Highly recommend!
The guys were super nice and took amazing care to wrap all our furniture and not damage any walls. Arrived on time and took care of things efficiently. Would 100% recommend.
Great experience from start to finish! Abhi and Gary were professional, punctual, and handled my belongings with great care, making the entire move smooth, efficient, and stress-free.
Hundreds of Surrey moves taught us what actually saves time on move day. Run this list the week before we pull up. A faster move on hourly billing is a cheaper move, simple as that.
Moving into a tower near Surrey City Centre or Whalley? Ask the building manager for a 3-hour elevator window as soon as you have your date. End-of-month Saturdays go first, and a crew waiting on an elevator is billed time you didn’t need to spend.
Most Surrey condo and townhome stratas want written notice before a move, and some hold a deposit. Give your council 1 to 2 weeks and get the loading bay rules in writing so nothing surprises you on the day.
A 2-bedroom home fills 40 to 60 boxes. At 5 boxes a night you’re done in 10 days, no brutal final weekend. Start with what you never touch, books, off-season clothes, the garage shelves.
Boxes stack 3 high in the truck, so a label on top disappears. Write the room and a one-line summary on 2 sides of every box. Unloading goes way faster when the crew can read where things live.
A large box packed with books can pass 50 pounds, and the bottom lets go on the stairs. Use small 1.5 cubic foot boxes for books and dishes. Save the big ones for pillows, linens and lampshades.
We’re a delivery partner for IKEA, Cozey and Samsung, so flat-pack furniture is routine for our crews. We take apart Pax wardrobes and Malm bed frames, bag the hardware, and rebuild them the same day at your new place.
Kettle, phone chargers, toilet paper, bed sheets, a change of clothes. After an 8-hour move day nobody wants to open 50 boxes hunting for a charger. Keep this one box in your own car, not the truck.
Our 26-foot truck needs about 40 feet of curb. Park your own cars out front the night before, then move them when we arrive. A long carry from down the block adds real minutes to every single trip.
End-of-month weekends book up fastest in Surrey. Grab those dates 2 to 3 weeks ahead, or pick a mid-month weekday and take first choice of start times. Morning starts beat afternoon starts too, the crew is fresher and the elevator is quieter.
Measure your couch, then the doorways and stairwells at the new place. A 90-inch sofa and a narrow basement suite staircase don’t always get along. We can pop a door off its hinges in 5 minutes, but flag the squeeze before move day.
One pricing story, told straight. Your move is time-based. You’re billed on the actual hours the crew works, in 30-minute increments after the minimum charge. Before move day we break the whole estimate down for you, crew size, truck and the hours we expect the job to take. The math you see up front is the same math you see on the final bill.
The biggest lever is how ready you are. A packed 1-bedroom apartment is usually a 3 to 4 hour job for 2 movers. A 3-bedroom house where the kitchen is still in the cupboards can run double that. Sealed, labelled boxes load fast. Loose bags and open bins slow every trip to the truck.
Access moves the clock more than distance does. A tower move around Surrey City Centre with a booked elevator and a close loading bay runs smooth. The same furniture down 3 flights of a Newton walk-up takes longer, every trip is stairs. Tell us about stairs, long corridors and tight parking when you book and we build them into the estimate.
Crew size is the other lever. 2 movers cost less per hour, but on a bigger home a 3rd pair of hands usually pays for itself, the truck loads faster and the total hours drop. We size the crew to the square footage, the same way we plan our IKEA, Cozey and Samsung deliveries, so you’re not paying for anyone standing around.
We don’t print dollar figures we can’t stand behind. Call (778) 242-2877, tell us what you’re moving, and you’ll have the full hourly breakdown before you book a thing.
Here’s a move that shows how we work. A three-bedroom townhome in a strata complex off Fraser Highway near 160 St, right in Fleetwood Town Centre. The catch was the Surrey-Langley SkyTrain construction. Fraser Highway is the spine through Fleetwood, and the beam-lift work has been pulling curb parking and dropping single-lane restrictions along the corridor. Our base is at 8567 164 St, five minutes east, so we’ve got the detours cold.
We spotted the parking squeeze on the walkthrough and planned around it. The crew brought the truck in off a side street on the 84 Ave side instead of fighting the highway lane closures, kept the strata elevator window locked in, and ran a shorter carry path through the complex. A packed three-bed townhome like this runs a 3-person crew about 6 to 7 hours, billed on the actual time, broken down for the owner before move day. No flat-rate guess.
That’s the difference on a Fleetwood job. The bigger competitor pages list the area and stop there. We plan the real detour, the strata window and the carry path before the truck rolls, so the SkyTrain work never costs you extra hours on the clock.
We bill on the actual hours worked, and we break the whole thing down for you up front before move day. There’s no flat rate and no guessing, you’ll know exactly how the hourly pricing works before you book, so the final number lines up with what we told you.
Our own crews, every time. The trained movers who show up are Local Movers Ltd employees who load, drive and unload your home. We don’t pass your move off to a day-labour company.
All of them. Fleetwood, Newton, Cloverdale, Guildford, Surrey City Centre and Whalley, South Surrey, Fraser Heights, Clayton Heights, Panorama and Sullivan, and Ocean Park. We’re based at 164 St in east Surrey, so most of Surrey is a short drive for our trucks.
Yes. We do local moves across the Lower Mainland too, Vancouver, Burnaby, Coquitlam, Langley and Richmond. Same crew, same hourly billing, whether you’re staying in Surrey or crossing the bridge.
We run 7 days a week. Weekends fill up fast in Surrey, especially around the end of the month, so it helps to lock in your date early.
Yes. Furniture assembly and disassembly is part of the job. We break down bed frames, tables and big shelving units so they clear the doors, then put them back together at your new place.
All the time. Surrey City Centre and Whalley have plenty of towers with booked elevators and tight loading bays. We plan the elevator window and the carry path ahead of time so move day stays on schedule.
A packed 1-bedroom apartment usually runs 3 to 4 hours with 2 movers. A full 3-bedroom house runs 6 to 8 hours with a crew of 3. Stairs, long carries and unfinished packing add time, so we ask about all three before we build your estimate.
Cheap quotes in Surrey usually grow on move day. We don’t play that game. You’re billed on the actual hours worked, in 30-minute increments after the minimum charge, and the full breakdown is on your quote before you book. You only pay for what you use.
Usually not. Lowball quotes are where the surprise fees live. We keep it honest: billed on the actual hours worked, 30-minute increments after the minimum charge, breakdown shown before move day. Insured crews, no surprises on the invoice.
Yes. We run long distance moves across BC and Canada, starting from Surrey and the Lower Mainland. Same standard as our local jobs, everything wrapped, padded and loaded with care, with the costs broken down up front before you commit.
