Moving in Al Rakah, Khobar: family moves on a bigger scale

Most requests that reach us from large residential districts like Al Rakah are family moves: more bedrooms, more furniture, children, and school timetables that shape the day. So we start with the household, not the truck. How many bedrooms? Is there a separate majlis? Are there built-in kitchen appliances? Are there old, heavy pieces that need extra care?

Those answers set the crew size and how long the work takes. A five-bedroom family move usually needs a full day with a schedule, not a few rushed hours. We send you that schedule before the day so you know when the crew arrives and when each stage should finish.

Internal streets and house entrances

In neighbourhoods where the internal streets branch out, reaching the front door with a large truck is not always as easy as reaching the main road. We ask for a map pin and a photo of the entrance, and then check: does the gate fit the truck, or should it park in the street? Are there speed bumps, trees or low cables? Is there any road closure nearby that day?

If the outer door is narrow, large pieces turn at a different angle going in and out, and some may need to be taken apart or lifted another way. We tell you before the day, not after the crew arrives.

From a flat to a villa inside Al Rakah, or the other way

Many families move from a flat to a larger house in Khobar after the family grows, or downsize from a villa to a flat. In both cases what changes is the size of the rooms rather than the furniture itself: pieces that will not fit the new home need a decision in advance, whether to keep, store or sell. We explain this in moving from an apartment to a villa.

Large pieces: measure before we lift

Most surprises on moving day come from a piece that will not go through a door. Try these steps before the date:

• Measure the width and height of the outer door and the room doors, and compare them with your biggest wardrobe and sofa.
• If the house has an internal staircase, photograph it and send it to us; it can change how a bedroom is brought down.
• List the pieces that need dismantling: beds, large wardrobes, glass dining tables, and send photos.
• Note the fragile items: mirrors, glassware, screens and framed pictures.

A suggested schedule for moving day

For a family house move in Khobar we suggest the order below, and adjust it to your situation:

• Early morning: the crew arrives, walks through the rooms, covers floors and protects door edges.
• First two hours: dismantling beds and wardrobes, wrapping mirrors and kitchenware.
• Middle of the move: loading heavy items first, then medium pieces, each room kept together in the truck.
• Finish: unloading room by room, reassembling what was dismantled, then a final walk-through with you.

Protecting floors and walls

Families often worry about scratched floors and wall corners when big furniture goes out. We cover the main walkways, protect door frames and wrap furniture corners. More on this in our guide to protecting floors and walls while moving.
