Moving costs Geroldswil
How much do removals in Geroldswil between the Limmat and the Altberg cost?
At around 14 km as the crow flies from Wallisellen, Geroldswil is close by, so the journey there and back, which we count as working time, is correspondingly short. The location has more influence: on the southern slope of the Altberg, up to the Hasleren at 583 m above sea level, gradient and carrying distance lengthen the job, while near the village centre or in the Fahrweid close to the Limmat the stopping place matters most. The municipality has no motorway junction of its own. You receive a quote within 24 hours.

Geroldswil at a glance
Geroldswil in the Limmat valley: a small municipality with a steep Altberg slope
Every move in Geroldswil starts with a look at the local conditions: access, floors, parking and the route to the removal van. Geroldswil lies in the Limmat Valley at 395 m above sea level, borders the River Limmat to the north and extends up the southern slope of the Altberg. The A1 motorway crosses the municipality, but there is no junction of its own; the nearest railway station is Dietikon.
Whether in the centre or in Fahrweid and Letten: we clarify access and space conditions during the on-site survey before every move. Besides Geroldswil itself, we also operate in the neighbouring municipalities of Oetwil an der Limmat, Weiningen and Dietikon. Geroldswil belongs to the district of Dietikon in the canton of Zurich.

Getting to know Geroldswil
Moving company Geroldswil – small area, big differences in altitude
Geroldswil covers only 1.91 km². Even so, the municipality stretches from the Limmat in the north up onto the southern slope of the Altberg; its highest point is the Hasleren at 583 m above sea level, almost 190 metres above the municipality's elevation of 395 m; the Wiesentäli lies at the foot of the Altberg. In 2020 Geroldswil passed the mark of 5,000 inhabitants. From our base in Wallisellen to Geroldswil it is around 14 km as the crow flies.
From roadside village to suburban municipality
For centuries Geroldswil was a small roadside village; around 1900 just 141 people lived here. The big growth only came after the Second World War: between 1950 and 1960 the population doubled, and in the following decade it tripled. In 1948 the bus line Dietikon–Geroldswil–Oetwil connected the village to public transport, and in 1963 the municipal council was made up mainly of newcomers for the first time.
At the time, the growth demanded a rapid expansion of infrastructure, such as new school buildings. As your moving company for Geroldswil, we clarify during the free viewing how big the stairwell and lift are, where the removal van can stop and whether a furniture lift makes the work easier.
A centre built on a greenfield site
In 1967 the municipality held a competition for a new village centre; in 1972 the roughly 3,000 inhabitants of the time approved a loan for the project, and in 1975 it was completed: with municipal administration, indoor pool, hall, flats for older people, a hotel and a post office. If you move into a flat in or near the centre, you benefit from short distances but need a well-chosen stopping place. We reserve it for you on request.
These points are also typical of removals in Geroldswil:
- On the slope of the Altberg: check the gradient and carrying distance in advance, adjust the vehicle size
- In the Steinhalden business area, founded in 1983: office relocation outside business hours
- In the Fahrweid and near the Limmat: fix the stopping place and access early
Right through the middle: the A1
Since 1971 the A1 motorway has crossed the middle of the municipality, and since 2004/05 noise barriers have protected residents. Geroldswil has no junction of its own, so we plan the approach via the neighbouring villages. In the coat of arms, a fish spear recalls the former salmon fishing in the Limmat; since the Limmat was straightened in 1931, the village has been safe from flooding.
Neighbouring municipalities are Oetwil an der Limmat, Weiningen and Dietikon. For moves in the surrounding area we are the right removal company, for example as the removal company for Weiningen or for a move to Dietikon. Your movers in Geroldswil clarify the stopping place and carrying distance for both addresses during the free viewing.
Questions about Geroldswil
Do you also handle removals to the Fahrweid?
Yes. In 1964 the first school building on Geroldswil territory was built in the Fahrweid, followed by a post office branch there in 1975. We clarify access and the stopping place for your address during the viewing, on site or via WhatsApp video.
How do you plan a move to the southern slope of the Altberg?
Geroldswil stretches from the Limmat up onto the southern slope of the Altberg, with the Hasleren at 583 m above sea level as its highest point. For addresses on the slope, we check gradient, carrying distance and vehicle size during the free viewing.
Local moving logistics
Moving in Geroldswil: logistics between the Limmat, the A1 and the Altberg
Geroldswil is small, but the A1 motorway divides it in two and it rises from the Limmat up to the Hasleren. For planning, it therefore matters which side and at what height you live.
Oberdorf on Giessackerstrasse
The first buildings in the Oberdorf were built in 1932 when Giessackerstrasse was extended. For residential buildings from this and later periods, we check stair width and entrance before deciding which furniture needs to be dismantled.
Wiesentäli at the foot of the Altberg
From the Wiesentäli the southern slope of the Altberg rises. For houses further up the slope, we plan access so that the van can be loaded as close and safely as possible.
Fahrweid near the Limmat
The municipality's first school building has stood in the Fahrweid district since 1964. If moving out and moving in are in different districts, we serve both addresses in one trip and so avoid interim storage.
Parking reservation
The municipality provides an information sheet on the use of public land at its online counter. We handle the parking reservation with the responsible office in Geroldswil for you, and the authority charges the fee directly.
Disposal
In Geroldswil, hazardous waste is accepted by the municipality's Sonderabfallmobil (mobile hazardous waste collection); the municipality publishes the details every year. Furniture, mattresses and other bulky items, on the other hand, we load and dispose of properly for CHF 65.– per m³.
B2B
Business relocations in the Steinhalden business area
The Steinhalden business area has existed in Geroldswil since 1983. For local businesses we plan the move outside business hours, and our carpenters reassemble office furniture at the new location.

Frequently asked questions
Questions about moving in Geroldswil
Who helps with a move into a retirement flat in the Geroldswil village centre?
We handle the move completely and take time during the viewing to make the selection: which furniture fits in the smaller flat, what goes into storage, what is disposed of? Relatives can take part on site or by video. On moving day our carpenters assemble the bed and wardrobes, so that the first night can already be spent in a familiar bed.
How does a move from the Letten over to Oetwil an der Limmat work?
As a short drive with a change of municipality: the area around the old Letten school building lies between the villages of Geroldswil and Oetwil. We clarify the stopping place at the destination with the responsible office in Oetwil, and the one at the moving-out address in Geroldswil. Because the distance is short, the van makes two trips if needed instead of us using a larger vehicle.
How are screens, lamps and glass display cabinets packed for a move in Geroldswil?
We pad televisions and monitors with blankets and protective material, and glass doors of display cabinets are removed where possible and protected separately. Lampshades travel best in their own boxes with nothing heavy on top. Put cables and remote controls in a labelled bag, and everything is quickly connected at the new address.
Where does the removal van park for a flat in the municipal centre with the post office and hotel?
In a reserved space that keeps access to the post office, hotel and indoor pool clear. Because many uses come together in a small space in the 1975 centre, we fix the stopping point and walking route to the entrance during the viewing. Inside the building we pad the lift and corridors so that neighbours and guests can get through unhindered.
When should I empty the fridge and freezer before moving day in Geroldswil?
One to two days beforehand, so that the freezer can defrost and dry; use up your supplies deliberately in the last few days. By the evening before, all boxes should also be taped shut, drawers empty and plants watered. That way our team can start loading in the morning without waiting.
What applies to businesses in the Steinhalden business area with a server room or laboratory?
That is what our IT and laboratory relocation is for: we dismantle servers, network cabinets and equipment in an orderly way, pack them securely and set them up again at the new location. To keep the business running, we move outside working hours, for example at the weekend. On request we handle files and records as an archive relocation.
How much does it cost to move a piano within Geroldswil?
Piano transport starts at CHF 250.–. The final amount depends on weight, floors and the route from the entrance to the van, for example for a house high up on the slope. Mention the instrument during the viewing, and we will plan the team and protective material and state the price in the quote.
What is the minimum duration for a small move in Geroldswil?
Three hours. After that we bill in 15-minute increments, so beyond this minimum you only pay for the time actually worked. Whether a studio in the Fahrweid or a few pieces of furniture from the Oberdorf fit within this range, we see during the viewing and record it in the quote.
