Family homes · maisonettes · townhouses
KejaPal are house movers in Nairobi who move family homes from one door to the next with nothing left behind and nothing broken. We survey the house, pack each room, wrap the furniture, drive the load and set the new home up the way you want it.
A family home holds years of furniture, clothes, toys, books and kitchen things. Moving all of it in one day takes a plan, enough hands and the right truck. That is the work we do every week, from small bungalows in Kasarani to large maisonettes in Runda and Karen.
This page covers what a house move includes, how we plan it, what it costs and how to get ready. For flats and bedsitters, see our apartment moving service instead.

A full house move has many small jobs. We split them between the crew so each person knows their task.

Good planning starts about two weeks before moving day. Our house movers in Nairobi use that time to check access, book the right truck and order enough boxes. However, we can work faster when your dates are tight.
We price every house move after a survey, in person or by video call. Your quote covers the truck, fuel, crew, basic wrapping and set-up, and we agree the final price with you. Like most house movers in Nairobi, we price mainly by crew size, truck size and time on the job.
Distance, stairs, long carries and weekend dates all change the final figure. Our moving cost guide explains each factor, so you can see where your quote comes from.
Most of our home moves stay inside the city. For example, families often move from Kilimani, Kileleshwa or South B to bigger homes in Syokimau, Ruiru, Ngong or Kitengela. Those moves usually finish in one day.
Other families move upcountry or to the coast. In that case, we load in Nairobi on day one and deliver on day one or two, depending on the distance. Read more about our long-distance moves, or see our guides for towns such as Mombasa and Nakuru.
How it works
Every house is different, but most of our moves inside Nairobi follow a similar rhythm. Here is what a 3-bedroom move usually looks like.
Traffic on Thika Road, Mombasa Road or the Southern Bypass can shift these times. That is why our house movers in Nairobi often start early and plan the route the evening before.
Moving day is busy and noisy, so small children and pets are safer somewhere calm. For example, a grandparent, a neighbour or a day at school works well. If they must stay, pick one room that we leave until last and keep the door closed.
Pack a separate bag for each child with a favourite toy, snacks and clothes for the next day. Similarly, keep pet food, bowls, a lead and any medicine with you rather than in the truck. Dogs and cats also settle faster when their bed comes out of the truck first, so tell the crew lead which item that is.
A home move also means a few calls and forms. Read the meters on the last day and take photos for your records. If you are moving your prepaid electricity account or applying for a new connection, check the steps on the Kenya Power website a week early. Likewise, arrange your internet move in advance, because installation slots can take several days.
Finally, update your address with your bank, employer, school and delivery apps. Keep the signed inventory from your house movers with your tenancy papers, in case you need it later.

Many families add one or two extras to make the week easier. For instance:

A little preparation makes moving day shorter and cheaper. So we suggest these steps:
Our moving checklist has a full week-by-week plan.
People rarely remember a move that went well. Instead, they remember the broken mirror or the crew that arrived three hours late. So we focus on the basics: arriving on time, protecting every item and keeping you informed. Also, one crew lead stays with your move from the first box to the last screw, so there is always one person to ask.
When you are ready, send us your moving details. Our house movers will plan the day with you and confirm the price in writing.
A fair price for house movers in Nairobi starts with an assessment, not a price list. First, we look at your items by video call, photos or a short visit. Next, we send a written quote listing the crew, the truck and any extras. Then we talk it through, and you can adjust the scope to suit your budget. Finally, we confirm the agreed price in writing, so everyone knows exactly what is included before the crew arrives.

A 2 or 3-bedroom house move inside Nairobi usually takes one day, from about 7 am to 4 pm. Bigger homes, full packing or long distances can add a second day. We give you a likely finish time in the quote.
Light clothes can stay in some drawers, but we remove heavy or loose items so the furniture does not break. We pack wardrobe clothes in boxes or carry them on their hangers in wardrobe bags.
Yes. We move potted plants, garden furniture, bicycles and gas cylinders. Gas cylinders must be closed and empty of leaks, and we move them upright and separate from other items.
We record the condition of valuable items before the move and handle everything with care. If damage happens, report it to the crew lead on the day, and we will agree on a repair or a fair settlement. You can also ask us about goods-in-transit cover.
Yes. Saturdays and Sundays are popular for house moves, so book early. Some estates limit weekend moving hours, so we check with your caretaker first.
Tell us what you are moving and where. We will check the load in person or on a video call, give you a clear written quote and plan moving day with you.
