Short distances, dense neighbourhoods: moving in Schwerzenbach in 5 steps
In a small area, Schwerzenbach combines blue parking zones, an old village core and new builds. Five steps are enough if parking space and access are clarified early.
- 01
Survey and planning
Schoren, the old village or Im Vieri: at the free survey we fix vehicle, parking space and carrying route and then send our quote.
- 02
Space despite the blue zone
On Kornstrasse, Schulstrasse or Chropfacker, residents' parking permits are not enough for the removal lorry; we apply to the municipality for a reserved space.
- 03
Protection in old and new buildings
Whether a house by the church or a seven-storey building near the station, we pad lift and stairwell, cover floors and check bulky items for the furniture lift.
- 04
Short drive, quick assembly
Within the municipality or to Volketswil, Greifensee and Uster, distances are short; at the destination our carpenters reassemble the furniture straight away.
- 05
Clean flat handover
On request we take old furniture with us, and after the optional end-of-tenancy cleaning you hand your previous flat back to the property management in clean condition.

Municipality of Schwerzenbach
Legislature: municipal assembly
Parking on moving day
The Schoren quarter is a blue zone with residents' parking permits, so without a reservation no space is guaranteed on moving day. We take care of the reservation free of charge; it is granted by the responsible office in Schwerzenbach, whose fee the authority invoices to you.
Disposal and bulky waste
We take furniture and bulky waste beyond normal collection amounts with us when you move, for CHF 65.– per m³ plus working time. Individual items up to 25 kilos you put out for collection with the municipality's bulky waste stickers.
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 Schwerzenbach
The cost of your move in Schwerzenbach: short distances, dense neighbourhoods
Schwerzenbach covers just 2.62 km², and Wallisellen is around 6 km away as the crow flies. Travel to and from, which we count as working time, is correspondingly short. The effort is determined more by the dense neighbourhoods: parking space in front of the right entrance, lift or stairwell in multi-storey buildings, for example in the "Im Vieri" estate near the station. We clarify this during the free survey, and the quote arrives within 24 hours.

Getting to know Schwerzenbach
Moving company Schwerzenbach: small area, short distances
Schwerzenbach covers just 2.62 km². On this area lived 5,115 people (as of 2018), and near the station the buildings run almost directly into those of Volketswil. For your move this usually means short distances but dense neighbourhoods, where the parking space for the removal lorry needs to be well planned.
From farming village to residential community
Originally the village had only around 400 inhabitants. The post-war building boom made it grow more than tenfold, and the centre moved from the old core by the church towards the railway station and Volketswil. Despite the station opening in 1856, industry did not settle here, apart from a single silk manufacturing business. The neoclassical Reformed church, consecrated in 1813, bears witness to the old village.
For a moving company in Schwerzenbach this means that, alongside older houses in the village area by the church, there are many flats from the post-war period and from recent years. The new building and zoning regulations of 2025 limit the height of new buildings to that of the tallest existing building, with seven storeys. In multi-storey buildings we check whether the lift is big enough for wardrobes and sofas.
Around the station
Between 2008 and 2013 the "Im Vieri" estate was built close to the station, with almost 500 new residents and a care centre. In developments like this, we pay attention to the following points:
- access and parking space in front of the right entrance, fixed at the survey
- parking reservation, which we organise for you
- furniture lift if needed, when a balcony or window is a better route than the stairwell
- furniture assembly in the new flat, so that you can sleep in your own bed that very evening
When moving into the care centre, usually only selected furniture comes along. Whatever does not come with you, we can store on request or take for disposal.
Between the Glatt, the Greifensee and the Zürcher Oberland
Schwerzenbach lies east of the city of Zurich on the border with the Zürcher Oberland. The Chimlibach stream crosses the municipality and flows into the Glatt. Our removals company in Wallisellen is around 6 km away as the crow flies, and the S14 connects both places directly.
If you are moving here from the city, you may also look at the Steuerfuss (municipal tax rate): in 2026 it is 103% in Schwerzenbach excluding church tax, compared with 119% in Zurich. We also handle moves to the neighbourhood, for example as a removals company in Volketswil, for a move to Greifensee or towards movers in Uster – the S9 runs directly there. Ask your movers in Schwerzenbach for a free survey.
Questions about Schwerzenbach
Do you also move households to the "Im Vieri" estate near the station?
Yes. The "Im Vieri" estate was built between 2008 and 2013 near Schwerzenbach station. We clarify the parking space and access to the right entrance at the survey and organise the parking reservation for you.
Do you help with a move into the care centre in Schwerzenbach?
Yes. A care centre was built near the station together with the "Im Vieri" estate. We transport the selected furniture, assemble it on site and, on request, take care of furniture storage or disposal for the rest of the household.
Local moving logistics
Moving in Schwerzenbach: Schoren, village core and station area
On just 2.62 km², Schwerzenbach has blue parking zones, an old village core by the church and dense developments near the station. Distances are short; what matters is free space for the removal lorry.
Schoren quarter with blue zone
On Alte Bahnhofstrasse, Kornstrasse, Schorenstrasse, Schulstrasse and Chropfacker, the blue zone with residents' parking permits applies. A removal lorry will hardly find space there on the spur of the moment, so we reserve the parking space before moving day.
Old village core by the church
The older houses of the former farming village stand around the neoclassical church of 1813. In houses like these we check the stairwell and doors to see whether wardrobes need to be dismantled or a furniture lift via balcony or window is quicker.
Station area up to the Volketswil border
Since the building boom, the centre has shifted towards the station and Volketswil, and the tallest building in the municipality has seven storeys. In multi-storey buildings we clarify lift size, entrance and access for the lorry in advance.
Parking reservation
The municipality of Schwerzenbach issues parking permits for the blue zones to residents; the removal lorry needs a reserved space. We apply for this at the responsible office in Schwerzenbach, and the municipality charges the fee to you directly.
Disposal
Individual bulky items up to 25 kilos can be put out for collection with the municipality's bulky waste stickers, available from the residents' services, the library or online. Beyond that, we take care of proper disposal for CHF 65.– per m³.

Frequently asked questions
Schwerzenbach: answers to your moving questions
Who should be informed before moving day in Schwerzenbach?
Above all neighbours, the property management and the caretaker. A short notice in the stairwell explains why doors will be open on moving day and a lorry will stop outside. The property management clarifies whether the lift needs to be protected or reserved, and the caretaker knows the best route to the entrance.
How does a move from one building of the "Im Vieri" estate to another work?
Usually without a long drive, but with two entrances: we protect both stairwells and lift cars, position the lorry between the buildings so that both routes stay short, and set up the furniture in the same order in which it was loaded. That way a move within the estate is done in one day.
How do you move precision measuring instruments or servers of a Schwerzenbach business?
Individually packed, shock-protected and secured upright in the vehicle. We label cables and accessories per device so that everything comes together at the new site. We schedule the move outside your working hours so that workshop, warehouse or server room are ready again on the next working day.
Where are cats and dogs best looked after on moving day in Schwerzenbach?
Ideally with friends or at a pet-sitting service, or alternatively in a quiet room with the door closed. With flat doors open and many unfamiliar people around, animals slip out easily. In your new home, set up the feeding and sleeping places first so that your pet quickly finds its way around.
When should I start packing for a move in Schwerzenbach?
As soon as the boxes arrive, with everything you will not need before the move. Books, decorations, seasonal clothing and cellar contents come first, kitchen and bathroom last. If you fill one or two boxes every day, you will be finished stress-free by the evening before.
How much does it cost to move a piano from Schwerzenbach to Volketswil?
A piano transport with us costs from CHF 250.–. The exact amount depends on the instrument, stairs and lift, and the carrying route at both addresses. Mention the piano at the survey, and carriers and protective material will be firmly scheduled for moving day.
What changes if the new flat beyond the railway line is already in Volketswil?
Hardly anything for the transport, but a lot for the formalities: near the station the two municipalities merge almost seamlessly, yet you still deregister in Schwerzenbach and register in Volketswil. We then apply for the parking space at the office in Volketswil, and the furniture is in place the same day.
Why is handing back a flat in Schwerzenbach easier with a handover guarantee?
Because our cleaning team is present at the handover to the property management. If the landlord still finds something, we fix it immediately and at no cost. So you do not need a second appointment and get the keys handed back in one go.
