Five villages, one plan: moving in Volketswil in 9 steps
Hegnau on the A15, developments in the village, Zimikon in the former marshland and two villages on higher ground: Volketswil needs planning that knows every village.
- 01
Survey and quote
We look at your flat in Volketswil, Hegnau or Zimikon on site or by video, record furniture and access and send you the quote.
- 02
The right side of the A15
Because the motorway divides Hegnau and Gfenn, we determine which junction lets the lorry reach your entrance without a detour.
- 03
Parking space on the street
On busy roads or narrow residential streets we reserve the space for the removal lorry through the municipality's responsible office; the authority charges the fee.
- 04
Packing service
We bring moving boxes and packing materials in advance. If you are short of time, leave the packing of kitchen and display cabinet to our team.
- 05
Lift in the development
In estates such as Gries or Sunnebüel we measure the lift car and corridors and pad the lift before we start carrying.
- 06
Safe approach to higher ground
For Gutenswil and Kindhausen we choose the lorry size according to the gradient and width of the access road, so that the lorry gets close to the house.
- 07Optional
Furniture lift for upper floors
If a wardrobe is too big for the stairs or lift, we bring it into the flat via balcony or window using the furniture lift.
- 08Optional
Shops after closing time
We move shops and offices in the industrial area or around Volkiland after closing time or at the weekend, so that sales continue.
- 09
Furnishing and handover
At the destination we assemble the furniture and take old pieces away. On request, you hand over the old flat freshly cleaned.
Moving to Volketswil
Volketswil: registration within 14 days of arrival
In the canton of Zurich you have a 14-day deadline to register with your new municipality, and in many places this can be done online via eUmzug (online change of address). Volketswil counts these 14 days from the date of arrival.
Your post will be redirected if the forwarding order is in place 4 working days before the moving date. You do not need to contact Serafe (radio/TV licence fee); it receives the address automatically via the Einwohnerkontrolle (residents' registration office).

Volketswil is therefore lower than Zurich. In Volketswil, eligible voters decide at the municipal assembly.

Moving costs Volketswil
Removal costs in Volketswil: from Hegnau to Gutenswil
Only around 8 km as the crow flies separate our base in Wallisellen from Volketswil, so travel to and from, as part of the working time, hardly counts. Location is more important: Hegnau is divided by the A15, busy roads need a reserved parking space, and Gutenswil and Kindhausen stand on higher ground. In larger developments we clarify whether the lift is big enough. The calculator above shows roughly what this costs.
| Apartment Size | Example price | Included |
|---|---|---|
| 1 – 1.5 rooms | from CHF 560.–Volketswil → Greifensee, approx. 3 km | Furniture assembly, protective materials, insurance |
| 2 – 2.5 rooms | from CHF 870.–Volketswil → Schwerzenbach, approx. 3 km | Furniture assembly, protective materials, insurance |
| 3 – 3.5 rooms | from CHF 1'010.–Volketswil → Illnau-Effretikon, approx. 3 km | Furniture assembly, protective materials, insurance |
| 4 – 4.5 rooms | from CHF 1'520.–Volketswil → Wangen-Brüttisellen, approx. 4 km | Furniture assembly, protective materials, insurance |
| 5 – 5.5 rooms | from CHF 1'830.–Volketswil → Fehraltorf, approx. 5 km | Furniture assembly, protective materials, insurance |
| 6 – 6.5 rooms | from CHF 2'030.–Volketswil → Uster, approx. 5 km | Furniture assembly, protective materials, insurance |
All prices include insurance and exclude 8.1% VAT. Guide values are based on average effort; the exact amount is determined during the free on-site survey and invoiced according to actual working time, including travel to and from the site.

Volketswil at a glance
Volketswil between Hutzlen and Homberg: key facts
Every move in Volketswil starts with us taking a look at the local conditions: access, floors, parking and the route to the removal van. Volketswil lies in the upper Glatt Valley, at the gateway to the Zurich Oberland, between Dübendorf and Uster, north of Lake Greifensee. Volketswil is one of the most populous municipalities in Switzerland without its own railway station; it is served by bus routes and the A15 motorway with the Hegnau and Volketswil junctions.
Whether in the centre or in Hegnau, Zimikon, Kindhausen and Gutenswil: we clarify access and space conditions during the survey before every move. In addition to Volketswil itself, we also operate in the neighbouring municipalities of Wangen-Brüttisellen, Dübendorf, Schwerzenbach, Greifensee and Uster. Volketswil belongs to the district of Uster in the canton of Zurich.

Getting to know Volketswil
Moving company Volketswil – five villages, one municipality
It was only in 1932 that Volketswil, Hegnau, Zimikon, Kindhausen and Gutenswil merged into one municipality. To this day each of these villages has its own character, and this also shows when you move. As a moving company in Volketswil, we therefore first look at which village your old and new addresses are in.
Where most people live
The municipality had 19,822 residents (as of 2024). Around half of them live in Hegnau including Gfenn, the largest village with 10,049 inhabitants (as of 2022). It is followed by the village of Volketswil with 3,772, Zimikon with 2,016, Gutenswil with 1,924 and Kindhausen with 1,771 inhabitants.
Hegnau is a typical linear village and is divided by the A15. If your flat is on a busy road, we fix the parking space and carrying route at the survey and organise the parking reservation.
Terrain between Hutzlen and Homberg
The village of Volketswil lies between the Hutzlen and Homberg moraine hills, left behind by the Linth glacier. Towards Hegnau and Zimikon the landscape slopes gently down; Zimikon itself lies in a former marshland area of the Greifensee. Gutenswil and Kindhausen, by contrast, stand on higher ground. The glacier also deposited gravel: gravel extraction was of great importance in Volketswil in the 20th century, and some extraction areas still shape the surroundings today.
- Higher ground in Gutenswil and Kindhausen: we check vehicle size and access in advance.
- Larger developments such as the "Sunnebüel" from 1968 or the "Gries" estate: we clarify whether the lift is big enough or a furniture lift is needed.
- Zimikon in the former marshland: the terrain is flat, and what matters is the route from the front door to the lorry.
Business, shopping and office relocations
In 1969 Switzerland's first large hypermarket opened in Volketswil, followed in 1984 by the "Volkiland" shopping centre in the Zimikon district. There is also an industrial area. The growth was triggered by a Federal Supreme Court ruling in 1967, which led to the "Sunnebüel" area being zoned for building. For shops, offices and workshops we offer office relocations outside working hours, so that operations continue with as little interruption as possible. Whatever no longer has a place after the move, we take to furniture storage or for disposal.
Where to next
Our base in Wallisellen is around 8 km as the crow flies from Volketswil. Besides its neighbours in the Uster district, the municipality borders Fehraltorf, Illnau-Effretikon and Lindau in the Pfäffikon district. If you are moving there, you get the same service from us: a move to Illnau-Effretikon, movers for Lindau, a removals company in Fehraltorf or movers in Dübendorf. On request, your removals team in Volketswil also moves on Saturdays, with no Saturday surcharge.
Questions about Volketswil
Do you also move households to Gutenswil and Kindhausen on the higher ground?
Yes. Gutenswil and Kindhausen have been part of the municipality of Volketswil since 1932 and lie on higher ground. We clarify access, parking space and vehicle size during the free survey.
Do you handle office relocations in the industrial area or around Volkiland?
Yes. Volketswil has an industrial area, and the Volkiland shopping centre has stood in Zimikon since 1984. We plan office relocations there so that they can take place outside your working hours.
Local moving logistics
Removals logistics in Volketswil: Hegnau, Gries, Zimikon and the higher ground
Volketswil has no railway station of its own, but it has the A15 running right through Hegnau, a centre with newer developments and two villages on higher ground. On moving day, side of the road, lift size and access are therefore what count.
Hegnau with Gfenn on both sides of the A15
Around half the municipality lives in Hegnau including Gfenn, and the linear village is divided by the A15. We clarify in advance which side of the motorway your address is on and how the removal lorry reaches the right entrance without a detour.
Volketswil village with Gries and Griespark
Since 2008 a development and the Griespark have been built in the Gries area, and the village stream has been uncovered. In larger developments like this, we determine the parking space, lift and shortest route to the flat during the survey.
Gutenswil and Kindhausen on the higher ground
Both villages lie on higher ground, with around 3,700 people living there in total in 2022. For houses on steeper access roads we choose the lorry size accordingly and, if needed, plan a furniture lift for upper floors.
Parking reservation
If your entrance is on a busy road in Hegnau or a narrow residential street, we organise the parking reservation with the responsible office in Volketswil. The authority invoices the fee to you directly.
Disposal
Normal household quantities you take to your municipality's collection point. For bulky furniture, broken appliances or full cellar compartments, we take care of proper disposal at CHF 65.– per m³.
B2B

Frequently asked questions
Volketswil, Hegnau and Zimikon: frequently asked questions
Who dismantles beds and wardrobes for a move from Hegnau to Schwerzenbach?
Our own carpenters do: they dismantle large furniture at the old address, pack the screws with labels and reassemble everything in the new flat. You need neither tools nor instructions and can sleep in your own bed on the very first evening, even if the move crosses the municipal border.
How do you move from one block to the next within the Sunnebüel development?
Just as carefully as over long distances, only with a very short drive. We load the lorry outside one entrance and reposition it outside the other, instead of carrying furniture right across the estate. Because we bill by actual working time, the short distance is reflected directly in the amount.
How does a move from Zimikon to Greifensee or Uster work?
Without much driving, because the route is short and Zimikon lies in the flat former marshland. We look at both addresses beforehand so that the parking space at the destination is fixed and the carpenters can start assembly straight away. Label the boxes by room, and they will end up directly in the right place.
What should I look out for in a winter move to Gutenswil or Kindhausen?
Above all snow and ice on the access roads to the two villages on higher ground. We check conditions shortly before the date and lay floor protection right into the entrance so that no meltwater gets onto parquet or carpet. Clear the forecourt and path to the house, and the carrying route stays safe.
Where should I keep cash, jewellery and ID documents when moving in Volketswil?
With you, in a bag you take in the car yourself. Because Volketswil has no railway station of its own, you will probably follow in your own car on moving day anyway. Add medicines, contracts and the new keys too, so that nothing disappears into a moving box.
When is interim storage worth it for a move to Gutenswil or Zimikon?
When the old flat has to be handed back before the new one becomes free, or when renovation work is still going on at the new house. We store your furniture in the meantime in dry, climate-controlled and alarm-protected premises and bring it to your new address in Volketswil on the agreed date.
What does a shop in Volkiland need to prepare before moving to new premises?
A list of shelves, counters and equipment, plus a plan of the new space. We pack goods into boxes labelled by shelf so that they return in the same order at the destination. We pack tills and computers as an IT relocation. To keep sales going, we move after closing time or at the weekend.
Which plants and garden items do you take along when moving in Volketswil?
We take houseplants, tub plants and garden furniture, provided they are prepared for transport. Water the pots sparingly beforehand, empty saucers and clean garden furniture. We stand large tubs upright and secured in the lorry so that no soil gets onto the furniture.
