Our Moving Services

Our Apartment and Condo Moving Services in London

Apartment moves are decided by access more than by distance. A one-bedroom on the fourth floor with a service elevator is a faster job than a one-bedroom walk-up with a narrow stairwell and street parking only. If you are moving a full house rather than a unit, our wider London moving service covers that too.

Rates start at $129 per hour for a studio or one-bedroom, and every quote includes a plan for your building’s elevator, loading zone and parking rules. Our crews can handle loading, transportation, unloading, furniture disassembly and reassembly, packing, heavy items and other moving-day requirements. If you are comparing the best apartment movers in London, look at how each company plans the building, not just the truck. That planning is where our quotes start.

Apartment and Condo Moves

Our apartment and condo moving service plans around elevator bookings, loading zones, parking and building rules. Share your floor, the elevator situation, the distance from the entrance to the truck and any move-in time limits, and we will match the crew size and the schedule to them.

Studio and One-Bedroom Moves

Smaller units are quoted as a small move, our lowest hourly rate. Tell us about any oversized items, such as a sofa bed, a wall unit or a mattress that will not turn in the stairwell. Your quote should reflect the actual conditions of the move rather than assuming that every one-bedroom apartment is identical.

Student Apartment Moves

We move students near Western University and Fanshawe College, and flat-rate student pricing is available for one- and two-bedroom moves. Share the residence or apartment address, the move-in window, the building rules, the elevator or stair access and your inventory before booking.

Furniture Disassembly and Reassembly

Bed frames, desks, wardrobes and dining tables often clear a tight apartment door only in parts. Dismantling and reassembly are part of how we handle full-home moves as well, so it is quoted with the rest of the job.

Heavy, Fragile and Specialty Items

For pianos, instruments and other difficult pieces, see our specialty moving service. Antiques, artwork and anything you would hate to see scratched get moved safely in our antique and fragile moves. If a fridge or washer is coming with you, we also have a set way of moving appliances safely through stairwells and elevators.

Labour-Only Apartment Help

If you have already rented a truck, you can hire the labour for loading and rearranging furniture inside the unit. You arrange the vehicle, and we do the lifting.

Apartment Packing, Storage and Junk Removal

We can pack the kitchen and wrap all the furniture for you, partially or in full, and supply the boxes and materials. If your lease dates overlap, we provide furniture storage services while the dates sort themselves out. And if you would rather not move that old futon at all, we can haul away the junk you are not taking or throwing away.

A first apartment booking carries 10% off. We take cash, cheque, debit, credit card and e-transfer. On an apartment job the final figure follows the volume, the distance, how many movers are needed, the stairs or elevator, the carry from door to truck, the parking, any packing, specialty pieces, dismantling and refitting, and time lost to building restrictions.

Ask for fuel, mileage and travel-time terms to be confirmed in your written quote. Consumer moving contracts in Ontario over $50 must be in writing and must show the service description, itemized prices, the total, the service dates and the payment terms.

Before booking, ask for the applicable charges and moving conditions to be confirmed in writing or call +1 226-839-0360 for assistance.

Moving Into or Out of a High-Rise in London

Merc Movers serves apartment and condo customers throughout London, including areas with substantial student and apartment housing. For students and families near Western University, neighbourhoods such as Old North, Whitehills, Masonville and Kipps Lane include apartment, walk-up and high-rise housing. Western’s off-campus housing information confirms that these areas include a mixture of apartments, townhouses, detached homes and high-rise residences.

Check these with your building before you book:

  • Whether the service elevator must be reserved, and for how long
  • Which entrance is used for moves, and how far it is from the truck
  • Permitted moving hours, including weekends
  • Whether a deposit, insurance certificate or concierge notice is required
  • Parking rules for a 20 ft or 26 ft truck, and any loading-zone time limits

Pass those answers to us with your inventory. Waiting time caused by building restrictions is one of the things that affects the final cost, so a reserved elevator usually pays for itself. If you want a number based on your building rather than an average, tell us about your move date and building and we will price it from there.

Apartment Moving Checklist: What to Check Before You Move

Book the elevator as soon as you have a date, at both buildings if you can.
Measure the tight spots: the unit door, the stairwell turn and the elevator opening.
Confirm the parking for the truck and any loading-zone limit.
Label boxes by room so the unload does not stall in the hallway.
Empty and secure drawers, and keep valuables and documents with you.
Flag the fragile items: mirrors, glass shelves, screens and artwork.
Check the lease dates and arrange storage if the two do not meet.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much do apartment movers cost in London, Ontario?
At Merc Movers, a studio or one-bedroom apartment is a small move at $129 per hour. Two- and three-bedroom apartments are a residential move at $189 per hour. Student moves have flat-rate options. The final cost depends on stairs, elevator access, carry distance, parking and packing, and it is confirmed in writing before you book.
What if my building has no elevator?
We move walk-up units. Give us the floor, the number of flights and any tight stairwell turns. Stairs affect crew size and the time needed, so those details keep the estimate accurate.
Do you handle student moves near Western and Fanshawe?
Yes. We offer student moving services, with flat-rate options for one- and two-bedroom moves. Share the address, the move-in window, the building rules and your inventory when booking.
Will the price change on apartment moving day?
The scope, pricing, service date and payment terms are confirmed in writing before you book. Hours can change if the job changes, so sharing stairs, long carries, parking limits and extra items in advance keeps the estimate accurate.
What happens if something is damaged during my apartment move?
Merc Movers is insured and bonded, with a basic insurance plan set out in our published terms. Cover varies by job, so ask for the terms, the limits and the claims route in writing before the apartment booking is confirmed.
What should I do before apartment movers arrive?
Finish as much packing as possible, label boxes, clear hallways, reserve the elevator, arrange parking and separate valuables and important documents. Tell the movers about anything that may require special handling.
