Moving Company Winterthur – removals for private customers and businesses

If you are moving in Winterthur, you benefit from a moving company that takes a close look at the town and its surroundings before moving day. Winterthur lies in north-eastern Switzerland on the Eulach and is often called the gateway to eastern Switzerland. Winterthur's old town is the largest continuous pedestrian zone in Switzerland; the A1 motorway bypasses the city to the west and north.

Our moving service covers all of Winterthur, including the city centre, Oberwinterthur, Seen, Töss, Veltheim and Wülflingen. Winterthur borders Hettlingen, Seuzach, Dinhard, Rickenbach and Wiesendangen; we organise moves across the municipal boundary with one team and one quote. Winterthur belongs to the district of Winterthur in the canton of Zurich.

Moving in Winterthur: what we pay attention to

Winterthur can't simply be driven through with a standard lorry. Anyone moving in the old town around Marktgasse, Obertor or Steinberggasse knows the problem: the lanes in the historic core are narrow, partly pedestrianised and simply impassable for a furniture van. Here you need a spot for the furniture lift as close as possible to the nearest accessible road – and usually moving signage, which is applied for from the Winterthur city police. If you only realise this on moving day, you'll be standing at a locked door with the lift.

There are peculiarities outside the old town too: on the Sulzer site and in the Lagerplatz quarter, many former factory buildings are now lived in as lofts or used as offices – with high ceilings, heavy industrial doors and sometimes no lift designed for furniture transport. We check this out beforehand, not with the sofa already in our hands. In the residential districts of Veltheim, Seen, Töss, Wülflingen, Oberwinterthur and Mattenbach, the situation is usually more relaxed, but even there parking gets tight on moving day, especially in the more densely built-up areas near the main station.

For the Private Move we plan access and signage with you in advance; for a Corporate relocation we align the schedule with your business hours. Both within a cost ceiling, with no surprises on moving day.

In the canton of Zurich, you register with your new municipality of residence within 14 days, in many municipalities online via eUmzug. The municipality of Winterthur provides information on its page on moving in and relocating – where it states: «within 14 days».

Submit your mail forwarding request at least 4 working days before the move. You do not need to inform Serafe – your address is updated automatically via the residents' registration office.
