    Old town, Aabach, Linth Plain: moving in Uznach in 6 steps

    Heavy through traffic in the centre, older houses by the Aabach and level ground towards the Linth: this is how your move in Uznach runs in six steps.

    1. 01

      Enquiry with both addresses

      You tell us where you are moving from and to, we check floors, building access and the amount of furniture and send you the quote within 24 hours.

    2. 02

      Loading area away from traffic

      For houses on the main road, we organise a reserved parking space so that nobody has to load on the carriageway; the fee comes directly from the authority.

    3. 03

      Boxes for the old town

      Two to three weeks before the move, we bring free boxes along with packing material, so that the cellar, attic and living spaces can be emptied step by step.

    4. 04

      Stairwell and windows

      In older houses in the old town we protect steps, banisters and floors; if necessary, we lift bulky items over the facade with the furniture lift.

    5. 05

      Driving within See-Gaster

      To Kaltbrunn, Schmerikon or Benken the route stays short, and towards Lake Zurich we use the A15; the load is secured and insured.

    6. 06

      Assembly and completion

      Our carpenters assemble all the furniture, every item goes into the right room, and finally you walk through the flat with us.

    Place your mail forwarding order with Swiss Post at least 4 working days in advance. Serafe (radio/TV licence fee) updates the address automatically via the Einwohnerkontrolle (residents' registration office).

    Parking on moving day

    Up to 19,000 vehicles a day pass along the road through the old town. That is why we coordinate the parking space free of charge with the relevant office in Uznach, and the authority then charges you the permit fee.

    Disposal and bulky waste

    We load old furniture and bulky waste during the move; this costs CHF 65.– per m³, plus the time involved. The municipality of Uznach can tell you where small quantities are accepted.

    With our moving service, you don't need to: we take it away directly during the move – CHF 65.– per m³ plus labour. View disposal

    Moving costs Uznach

    Moving costs in Uznach: old town, traffic, journey

    Uznach is around 36 km from Wallisellen as the crow flies; with us, travel there and back counts as working time. Up to 19,000 vehicles pass through the centre every day, so we plan the parking space and, where necessary, a parking reservation in advance. In older houses in the old town, we check whether the stairwell and windows are large enough or whether a furniture lift is needed. You receive the quote within 24 hours, and Saturdays come without a surcharge.

        The market town of Uznach on the edge of the Linth Plain

        Every move in Uznach starts with us taking a look at the local conditions: access, floors, parking and the route to the removal van. Uznach lies on the edge of the Linth plain near Lake Zurich. It is served by the Voralpen-Express and the St. Gallen S-Bahn; the A15 motorway runs between Uznach and Schmerikon.

        In addition to Uznach itself, we also operate in the neighbouring municipalities of Benken, Eschenbach, Gommiswald, Kaltbrunn and Schmerikon. Uznach belongs to the See-Gaster constituency in the canton of St. Gallen.

        Getting to know Uznach

        Moving Company Uznach: market town between the Linth Plain and the Ricken

        Up to 19,000 vehicles pass through the centre of Uznach every day. That is why the cantonal civil engineering office is planning the A15-Gaster link road. For a move in the small town, this traffic is the most important factor: as a moving company in Uznach, we fix the parking space in advance and, if needed, organise a parking reservation so that loading and unloading do not take place in the middle of through traffic.

        A small town with a history of fire

        The settlement of the Alemannic Uzzo was first mentioned in records in 741, and until 2003 Uznach was the capital of the See district. Around 1200, the Counts of Toggenburg founded the town of Uznach and built a small castle at the northern end of today's Städtchen (old town). The old village lay between the Aabach and the Kreuzkirche. On the night of 18 to 19 August 1762, the town burnt down completely, including the church, hospital and 82 houses. In the 19th century, the textile industry, with the Uznaberg spinning mill and the Rotfarb dye works, brought a modest upturn, visible in the neo-Gothic building of today's parish church.

        In houses in the old town, we check during the free viewing whether the stairwell and windows are large enough for big furniture or whether a furniture lift is the better solution.

        Employers and trade

        In Uznach, around 300 employers provide jobs for about 3000 people. They include the central warehouse of Karl Vögele AG, the Linth-Park shopping centre, the Grynau substation of the Nordostschweizerische Kraftwerke and the Bank Linth. For businesses we offer:

        • Business relocations outside operating hours
        • Furniture assembly at the new location
        • Disposal of old furniture and furniture storage if required

        A transport hub since the Ricken tunnel

        For a long time Uznach was off the beaten track in transport terms, until the railway lines from Rapperswil to Weesen and through the Ricken tunnel to Wattwil turned it into a regional transport hub. Today the Voralpen-Express and the St. Gallen S-Bahn stop here, and the A15 runs between Uznach and Schmerikon. Since the 1990s Uznach has been growing again: at the end of 2021, 6,564 people lived in the municipality. Our base in Wallisellen is around 36 km away as the crow flies, and on request we move on Saturdays without a Saturday surcharge.

        Uznach lies on the edge of the Linth Plain near Lake Zurich, and the Steinenbach is a nature reserve of supra-regional importance. The town is also known for its stork colony, with 103 ringed young storks in the record year 2022, and for the St. Otmarsberg monastery, an abbey since 1982. If you are moving within the region, we are your removal company for Kaltbrunn, handle a move to Gommiswald or act as movers for Eschenbach. On request, your removals team in Uznach also takes care of the final cleaning.

        Questions about Uznach

        How do you plan a move in the centre of Uznach?
        Up to 19,000 vehicles pass through the centre every day. We therefore fix the parking space during the viewing, organise a parking reservation if needed and check whether a furniture lift makes sense.

        Do you handle business relocations in Uznach?
        Yes. In Uznach, around 300 employers provide work for about 3000 people, from the central warehouse and the Linth-Park shopping centre to the bank. We plan business relocations so that they take place outside your operating hours.

        Local moving logistics

        Moving in the market town of Uznach: old town, Aabach and Linth Plain

        Uznach combines a small town rebuilt after the fire of 1762, the old village area by the Aabach and land on the edge of the Linth Plain. We set the parking space and carrying route to suit these locations.

        Old town with the parish church

        The old town was rebuilt after the great fire of 1762 and lies on the road used by up to 19,000 vehicles a day. We therefore load at a space reserved in advance, away from the traffic lane, and keep the carrying routes short.

        Old village between the Aabach and the Kreuzkirche

        This is where Uznach lay before the Counts of Toggenburg founded the town around 1200. In this older part of the settlement, we check access and building entrances individually, because lanes and doorways are not designed for large vehicles everywhere.

        Edge of the Linth Plain

        Uznach borders the flat Linth Plain near Lake Zurich. On level ground there are no gradients to deal with; what matters here is a parking space close to the right building entrance and a carrying route without detours across courtyards or car parks.

        Parking reservation

        For a stop on public land, we organise the parking reservation with the relevant office in Uznach. You do not need to apply for anything; the authority invoices you directly for the permit fee.

        Disposal

        Whatever is sorted out during packing, we take with us and dispose of properly for CHF 65.– per m³. The municipality of Uznach can tell you where to drop off small quantities yourself.

        B2B

        Business, warehouse and archive relocations in Uznach

        Around 300 employers operate in Uznach, including the central warehouse of Karl Vögele AG, the Linth-Park and the Bank Linth. We move offices, warehouses and files outside operating hours.

        Frequently asked questions

        Uznach: what people ask before moving

        How do you protect furniture from an old building in Uznach's old town when carrying it out?

        Wooden furniture, glass and upholstery are wrapped in blankets and protective material before being carried, corners and edges are padded, and doors and drawers are secured. In the vehicle the items are fixed in place so that nothing slips on the way through the old town. We discuss delicate individual pieces in advance.

        When is a small move with hourly billing ideal in Uznach?

        For one room, a few pieces of furniture or a studio flat from the old town to Kaltbrunn. Beyond the minimum of three hours, we count every quarter of an hour individually. This way, small jobs do not become artificially expensive, and you can see exactly what you are paying for on the invoice.

        What if a large vehicle cannot get through in the old village by the Kreuzkirche?

        Then we use a smaller vehicle and would rather make two trips than carry things a long way. We dismantle heavy items in the flat so that they fit through narrow entrances. Whether a large vehicle on the edge of the old village serves as an intermediate stop, we decide after the viewing; the quote states the solution.

        Why can a cost ceiling be worthwhile for an old building in Uznach?

        Because in old buildings it often only becomes clear on moving day how tight a bend is. A cost ceiling caps the amount, while a fixed price sets it; we agree either after the viewing. If things go faster, you benefit from the shorter time with a cost ceiling.

        What are the advantages of the handover guarantee for a rented flat in Uznach?

        Our cleaning team attends the flat handover and immediately puts right, free of charge, anything the landlord or property management objects to. You do not need to arrange a second appointment or pay for any follow-up cleaning yourself; you hand over the keys in Uznach in one go.

        What does your packing service in Uznach cover if I am working?

        The entire household or just the kitchen and books, exactly as you wish. We bring boxes and padding material, pack delicate items individually and write the destination room on every box. Up to moving day, all you need to do is mark what should stay in Uznach.

        Which route does the removal truck take from Uznach towards Ausserschwyz and southern Zurich?

        Usually the A15 towards Schmerikon, which joins the A3 near Reichenburg. This way the vehicle bypasses the road through the village, which carries a lot of traffic every day. For destinations in the Toggenburg or towards Rapperswil we choose a different route and fix it before moving day together with the order of the addresses.
