Flawil in 7 steps: from Art Nouveau houses to the hamlets
High ceilings in the village, narrow access roads in Burgau or Egg: with these seven steps we plan your move in Flawil to suit each address.
- 01
Walk-through of the rooms
During the free survey we measure stairs, doors and large furniture and send the quote within 24 hours, with a cost ceiling on request.
- 02
Organising a parking spot
If there is no private space, we take care of the application to the office responsible for Flawil; the authority bills you for the fee itself.
- 03
Dismantling in old buildings
Whatever will not fit through narrow Art Nouveau doors, our carpenters take apart professionally and mark each part for reassembly later.
- 04
Turning space in the hamlet
For Oberglatt, Langenentschwil or Raaschberg we choose a vehicle that can turn on the access road and plan the carrying route to the front door.
- 05
Loading with protection
We cover steps, banisters and wooden floors, pad delicate individual pieces, and strap down the entire load in the van.
- 06
Assembly at the new address
In Flawil, Gossau or Degersheim our carpenters put the furniture back together and place it where you want it.
- 07
Cleaning and handback
On request we clean the old flat and accompany the handover; afterwards we take boxes and old furniture away.
Moving to Flawil
Change of address to Flawil: municipality, Swiss Post and Serafe
As a rule you have 14 days to register with your new municipality of residence. In many places in the Canton of St. Gallen this can be done online via eUmzug.
Swiss Post redirects your letters if the order arrives at least 4 working days in advance. Serafe (radio/TV licence fee) learns of the change automatically via the Einwohnerkontrolle (residents' registration office).
New in Flawil
Moving to Flawil: the Steuerfuss (municipal tax rate) compared
In 2026, the tax rate of the political municipality of Flawil is 127 %. For comparison in 2026: Oberbüren 100 %, Gossau 116 %, Oberuzwil 117 % and St. Gallen 138 %. Flawil is therefore lower than St. Gallen.
Parking on moving day
Space is tight around the Altes Rathaus and Gasthof Hirschen. We apply for the parking spot for the removal van at no cost to you; the permit comes from the responsible office in Flawil, and that authority settles the fee directly with you.
Disposal and bulky waste
On request we take an old sofa or worn-out shelves from Flawil with us on moving day. We charge CHF 65.– per m³ for this, plus labour; you do not need a separate trip.
Moving costs Flawil
Moving to Flawil: what sets the price between the Glatt and Alterschwil
Flawil is around 46 km from Wallisellen as the crow flies, and we charge the journey there and back as part of the actual working time. In the village itself, Art Nouveau houses from the embroidery era with winding stairwells and narrow doors often take more time because furniture has to be dismantled. In hamlets such as Burgau or Alterschwil, up to 814 m above sea level, access and carrying distance matter. As a new customer you save 20%.

Getting to know Flawil
Moving company Flawil: Art Nouveau, industry and hamlets on the Glatt
Between 1880 and 1920, Flawil's population almost doubled. During the embroidery boom, many Art Nouveau houses were built to plan, often with an embroidery workshop on the ground floor, along with stately manufacturers' villas. These buildings still shape the village today and bring their own demands when you move.
Living in historic houses
Older houses often have winding stairwells, high ceilings and narrow doors. As your moving company in Flawil, we take a close look at such buildings during the free survey. We then decide which furniture will be dismantled, whether a furniture lift is needed and where the van can stop.
The village's listed buildings include the Altes Rathaus (old town hall), the Gasthof Hirschen inn, the Reformed church, built partly in Art Nouveau style, and the Catholic church of St. Laurentius. Around these central buildings we arrange the parking reservation if needed.
From the Glatt to Alterschwil
The village was first documented in 858 as «Flawilare marcho». In 1803 Flawil, Burgau and Oberglatt were united to form today's political municipality. The municipal area covers 11.51 km² and ranges from 542 m above sea level on the Glatt to 814 m above Alterschwil. Besides the village itself, several hamlets belong to it:
- Oberglatt, formerly the church centre with its parish church first mentioned in 1316
- Burgau, which received its own field regulations in 1613
- Egg, with the Wissbachtobel gorge nearby
- Alterschwil, Langenentschwil, Grobenentschwil and Raaschberg
In the hamlets, access is often different from the village centre. We therefore clarify for each address which vehicle fits and how far the removal helpers have to carry. On request we also take care of the final cleaning after move-out.
Chocolate, lab technology and dressings
Since 1960 a wide range of industrial companies have settled in Flawil, including the Munz chocolate factory and Büchi Labortechnik AG. Flawa has been producing dressings and cotton wool since 1914. For companies in metalworking, mechanical engineering or food production, we plan the office or plant move outside business hours.
At the end of 2020, Flawil had 10,530 inhabitants. Since 1856 the railway has linked the village with St. Gallen; the line from Winterthur to Flawil had opened a year earlier. Our base in Wallisellen is around 46 km away as the crow flies.
Neighbouring municipalities include Oberbüren, Gossau, Herisau, Degersheim and Oberuzwil. For a move there, you can book a removals company for Gossau, a move to Oberuzwil or the moving company Oberbüren with us. Your movers in Flawil also work on Saturdays, with no Saturday surcharge.
Questions about Flawil
Do you also handle removals to the hamlets of Oberglatt, Burgau and Egg?
Yes. Besides the village, the municipality of Flawil includes the hamlets of Oberglatt, Burgau, Egg, Alterschwil, Langenentschwil, Grobenentschwil and Raaschberg. For each address we clarify access and carrying route during the survey.
How do you approach a move out of an Art Nouveau house in Flawil?
Many Art Nouveau houses in Flawil were built during the embroidery boom between 1880 and 1920, some with an embroidery workshop on the ground floor. During the survey we check the stairwell and doors and plan which furniture we will dismantle and reassemble at the new address.
Local moving logistics
Removals in Flawil: village, hamlets and industry on the Glatt
Flawil ranges from the Glatt at 542 metres to 814 metres above Alterschwil. Access, parking spot and carrying route vary accordingly, depending on whether you live in the village or in a hamlet.
Village centre with Art Nouveau houses
The Altes Rathaus, the Gasthof Hirschen and Art Nouveau houses from the embroidery boom shape the centre. In these buildings we measure stair widths and doors so it is clear which furniture will be dismantled and where the van can stand right in front of the entrance.
Oberglatt and Burgau
Both hamlets were united with the village in 1803 to form the political municipality and lie outside the centre. Whether a large removal van can get to the door or a smaller vehicle shortens the carrying route, we clarify here during the survey.
Egg, Alterschwil and Raaschberg
Above Alterschwil, Flawil reaches its highest point at 814 metres, and the Wissbachtobel gorge lies near Egg. Langenentschwil, Grobenentschwil and Raaschberg also belong to the municipality. For these scattered hamlets we plan vehicle size and turning options in advance.
Parking reservation
If there is no private space for the removal van in front of your house, we apply for the parking reservation with the responsible office in Flawil. We handle the application for you; the authority invoices any fee directly.
Disposal
Whatever is left after the move, such as a sofa, a slatted bed base or old shelves, we dispose of properly for CHF 65.– per m³. For small quantities, the municipality of Flawil can tell you where the nearest collection point is.

Frequently asked questions
Key questions about moving in Flawil
Who helps seniors move out of an Art Nouveau house in Flawil?
Our team does this as a senior move, with time for questions and a clear plan. During the survey we decide together which furniture will fit into the new, usually smaller flat. We pack, transport and set up; whatever is left over is disposed of properly or stored with us.
How are bookcases and display cabinets packed in the high rooms of old Flawil houses?
Books go into smaller, sturdy boxes so they do not get too heavy; we pad display-cabinet glass and porcelain individually with protective material. On request our packing service takes care of all the packing. You receive free material in advance, including for floor-to-ceiling shelving, whose compartments we empty from top to bottom.
How do you plan a move out of a manufacturer's villa in Flawil with many rooms?
Room by room: during the survey we record every room including attic and cellar and assign room numbers that appear on all boxes. We pad paintings, mirrors and antique furniture individually. For the large volume we plan team size and vehicle so that the move-out runs in one continuous sequence.
Where is furniture from Flawil stored until the new home is ready?
Our furniture storage takes it in; the rooms are dry, climate-controlled and secured by an alarm. This helps if moving into Gossau or Oberuzwil is only possible some time after move-out. We load in Flawil, put everything into storage and deliver later, including assembly by our carpenters.
How do you make sure Oberglatt near Flawil is not confused with Oberglatt ZH?
By checking postcode and municipality in every enquiry: the hamlet of Oberglatt, which belongs to Flawil, shares its name with a municipality in the Zürcher Unterland. In the quote we confirm both addresses in full so that the removal van, boxes and parking application arrive at the right place in the Canton of St. Gallen.
What happens to the contents of a former embroidery workshop on the ground floor?
We treat it as a separate area: if the space is now used as a workshop, studio or storeroom, we record workbenches, shelves and materials separately from the household goods and load them separately. That way everything goes straight into the right room at the new address, and we take worn-out items for proper disposal.
What is the difference between a cost ceiling and a flat rate in Flawil?
With a cost ceiling we charge by actual working time, but only up to the agreed amount. The flat rate is a total amount agreed in advance for the described scope. We set either only after the free survey, because stairwell, carrying route and volume determine the effort.
