Guildford is where North Surrey starts climbing. The Town Centre core sits at 152 Street and 104 Avenue, anchored by Guildford Town Centre – the largest mall south of the Fraser, 250-plus stores, with the Guildford Exchange bus hub on 104 Ave. The mall address is 10355 152 St, and the whole pocket around it is going vertical. We move the condos and apartments here every week, so we already know which towers want a loading bay booked and which ones make you wait for the freight elevator.
The big story right now is density. Vivere by Solterra is the first 20-storey residential high-rise in North Guildford, going up at the corner of 152 St and Guildford Drive – 175 residences plus seven street-level townhomes with rooftop terraces, finishing late 2027. More towers are coming behind it. That means more elevator bookings, more strata move-in windows, and more tight underground parkades. We plan for that reality instead of showing up and hoping a spot is open.
North of the Town Centre you get Johnston Heights, the older established pocket sitting between the mall core and Fraser Heights. It’s a mix of detached homes and lower-rise strata. We handle the split-levels with the half-flight of stairs off the entry and the walk-up apartments where the only way down is one narrow stairwell. Different home, different plan, same crew that’s done it on this side of Surrey before.
Up in the northeast corner you’ve got Fraser Heights, the self-contained pocket south of the Fraser River and north of Highway 1 – large detached homes on big lots, some gated streets, a few with river and mountain views. We keep that detail light here because Fraser Heights has its own page, same as Port Kells out east. On this page the focus is the Town Centre towers and the condo and apartment moves that make up most of Guildford’s day-to-day.
Here’s our real edge in Guildford: Highway 1. The Trans-Canada runs right along the south edge with interchanges at 152, 160 and 176 Street, near the Port Mann Bridge. We get in and out of your move on the highway instead of crawling residential blocks. Less time stuck in traffic is fewer billable hours on your invoice. Our base is on 164 St, minutes from these ramps, so the truck reaches your door fast.
A Guildford tower move lives and dies on access. The buildings around the Town Centre core want a freight elevator booked and a loading zone reserved before move day, and the strata sets the window – often a few hours on a weekday. Miss it and you’re rescheduling. We confirm the elevator pad, the parkade height clearance and the loading bay first, then build the route. Most of these are condo and apartment moves, so we wrap in the unit, protect the lobby and corridors, and keep the elevator on hold so we’re not fighting other residents for it.
Older Johnston Heights walk-ups and split-levels are a different job. No elevator, just stairs – sometimes a turn at the landing that a sofa won’t clear without standing it on end. We size the crew to the stair count so the hours stay tight, and we bring proper packing help when the kitchen and closets aren’t ready. If a piece won’t make the corner, our heavy and oversized item crew handles it without gouging a wall or a railing.
Then there’s the highway play. From the Town Centre you’re a minute or two off the Hwy 1 ramps at 152 and 160 Street. We use those interchanges to reach the rest of the Lower Mainland fast – no detour through Surrey side streets, no clock running while we sit at lights. That’s the difference between a Guildford move that runs on schedule and one that bleeds an extra hour. Same advantage works in reverse when you’re moving into Guildford from Burnaby, Coquitlam or Langley.
The high-rises and mid-rises around 152 St and 104 Ave run on bookings. We lock the freight elevator and loading bay with your strata first, check the parkade clearance so the truck or shuttle fits, and pad the lobby and corridors before a single box moves. New buildings like the Vivere site mean fresh stratas with strict move-in windows. We work inside the window, keep the elevator on hold, and get you unpacked before it closes.
Plenty of Guildford is older low-rise and walk-up apartments, especially through Johnston Heights and around the mall. No elevator means stairs, and a tight stairwell turn can stop a couch cold. We send the right crew size for the floor count so the job doesn’t drag, wrap everything in the unit, and carry the long stuff down on end when the landing’s too tight. First or third floor, we’ve done the building before.
Our 164 St base sits minutes from the Hwy 1 ramps at 152, 160 and 176 Street. We load in Guildford and we’re on the Trans-Canada fast, whether you’re staying local or heading to Burnaby, Coquitlam or out to Langley. No grinding through residential blocks with the meter running. Moving into Guildford from across the bridge? Same ramps get the truck to your tower door without the side-street crawl.

One pricing story, every time: we bill on the actual hours your move takes, broken down up front, never padded. In Guildford the hours come down to access. A Town Centre tower with a booked freight elevator and a clean loading bay moves quick. A walk-up with a tight stairwell turn takes longer, so we add crew to bring the hours back down instead of dragging out the clock. We tell you which one you’ve got before move day, not after.
Drive time matters too, and that’s where Guildford wins. We’re on 164 St, minutes from the Hwy 1 ramps, so getting to your door and getting the load to its next stop is fast. We use the interchanges at 152 and 160 Street instead of crawling side streets, which keeps billable travel low. You see the crew size, the truck, the access plan and the time it should take laid out plainly, then you sign a timesheet at the end – no surprise line items.

Real five-star reviews from our Surrey customers, straight from Google.
Yes, every week. We cover the Town Centre core around 152 St and 104 Ave, the towers and apartments by Guildford Town Centre mall, and Johnston Heights. We also reach Fraser Heights and Port Kells. Our base is on 164 St, minutes from the Hwy 1 ramps, so the truck gets to your Guildford door fast.
That’s a big part of what we do here. We book the freight elevator and loading bay with your strata first, check the parkade height clearance, and pad the lobby and corridors. We keep the elevator on hold during the move so we’re not fighting other residents for it and your strata window doesn’t blow past.
Yes. New North Guildford high-rises like Vivere by Solterra at 152 St and Guildford Drive come with fresh stratas and strict move-in windows. We confirm the elevator booking and loading-bay rules with building management before move day, then work inside the window so you’re settled before it closes.
Guildford sits right on the Trans-Canada with interchanges at 152, 160 and 176 Street near the Port Mann Bridge. We get on the highway instead of crawling Surrey side streets, so reaching your door and the next stop is fast. Less time in traffic means fewer billable hours on your invoice.
Common in Johnston Heights and around the mall. No elevator means stairs, and a tight stairwell turn can stop a couch. We send extra crew to match the floor count so the hours stay tight, wrap everything in the unit, and carry long pieces down on end when the landing’s too narrow.
We bill on the actual hours your move takes, broken down up front, never padded and never a flat guess. In Guildford the hours come down to access – a booked tower elevator moves quick, a tight walk-up takes longer. We tell you which you’ve got beforehand and you sign a timesheet at the end.
Yes. Fraser Heights has its own page since it’s a distinct pocket – large detached homes on big lots, some gated streets, south of the Fraser River and north of Highway 1. We size the crew to the square footage so a bigger home doesn’t blow past the quoted hours. Ask us and we’ll walk you through it.
Often, yes. Month-end and weekend slots fill first because tower stratas only allow certain move-in windows, so book early in the week if you can. Tell us your building’s elevator rules and we’ll line up a crew and a loading-bay reservation that fits the slot.
We do. For a Town Centre condo we can pack the kitchen and closets so the elevator window isn’t wasted, then reassemble beds, tables and IKEA pieces at the new place. It keeps the move tight and means you’re not living out of boxes on the other side.
Yes. The Hwy 1 ramps at 152 and 160 Street put the whole Lower Mainland minutes away. We load in Guildford and we’re on the Trans-Canada fast, whether you’re crossing the Port Mann to Coquitlam or heading east to Langley. Same highway gets us to you if you’re moving the other direction.
