Ballygunge is not like the rest of Kolkata. Large parts of it were built in the 1930s and 1940s, and many families still live in the same houses, with the same almirahs, dining tables and showcases their grandparents bought. Next to them stand newer apartment blocks along Ballygunge Circular Road and Gurusaday Road, and just down the road, Gariahat market keeps the traffic heavy from morning to night.
So a Ballygunge move asks two things of a mover: patience with heavy, often irreplaceable furniture, and a good plan for getting a truck in and out of crowded roads. Everything on this page comes from the moves our crews do in this part of south Kolkata.
Old House or Apartment? Two Different Moves
Old house or walk-up
- Solid wood almirahs, beds and showcases that weigh far more than modern furniture
- Steep or winding staircases and no lift
- Marble tops, large mirrors and glass that need separate packing
- Crew size and stair carrying planned at the survey
Apartment block
- Lift booking and society timings, often only on weekdays
- Parking for the vehicle inside or outside the gate
- Modern furniture that can be dismantled and refitted
- Entry passes for the crew collected in advance
“In Ballygunge, the furniture is often older than the people moving it. We pack it like it cannot be replaced, because usually it cannot.”
Packing Heirloom and Heavy Furniture
Teak and rosewood almirahs
We remove the doors and mirrors where the almirah allows it, wrap each part in blankets and stretch film, and carry the body with enough hands for the staircase. Keys and screws go into labelled bags taped inside a drawer.
Marble-top tables and dressers
Marble is lifted off and moved upright, never flat, with foam and corner guards on all edges. The wooden base moves separately.
Mirrors, glass and chandeliers
Large mirrors and glass shelves are packed in cardboard frames with foam. For a chandelier, tell us at the survey; we check how it is fixed and tell you honestly how we will take it down and pack it.
Pianos and antiques
Pianos, clocks and antiques are checked at the survey along with the doors and staircase. We confirm before booking whether we can move the item safely, so there are no surprises on the day.
Free Heirloom Inventory Sheet
Before any move with valuable furniture, make a short list like this and keep a copy. Photograph each item from two sides. It helps at the survey, on moving day and if you ever need to make an insurance claim.
| Item | Room | Condition before move | Photo taken | Special care |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Teak almirah (example) | Bedroom 1 | Small scratch on left door | Yes, 2 sides | Remove mirror; keys in drawer |
| Marble-top table (example) | Dining | Good | Yes, 2 sides | Marble upright, separate |

When to Move in Ballygunge
The cool months from November to February are the easiest. In the monsoon, we pack with sealed cartons and tarpaulin cover and keep the time slot flexible. Around Durga Puja, Ballygunge’s well-known pujas bring huge evening crowds, so book about two weeks ahead and move in the morning. Gariahat market is busiest in the evenings and before festivals, so we avoid loading near it at those times.

It can be. Gariahat Road and the market area are crowded for most of the day. We load early in the morning or late in the evening and park in a side lane wherever possible, so the move is not rushed.
My building on Ballygunge Place has no lift. Is stair carrying extra?
Many older Ballygunge buildings have no lift and wide but steep staircases. Stair carrying is written into the quote once we see the floor and staircase at the survey, so there is no surprise charge later.

Yes. It is a cross-city run by the EM Bypass. We start early, and a normal 1 or 2 BHK is still delivered and set up the same day.

Yes. These are short south Kolkata runs that we do often. We plan around Rashbehari Avenue and Southern Avenue traffic.
Is it difficult to move during Durga Puja in Ballygunge?
Ballygunge has some of the city's best-known pujas, and roads around the big pandals slow down or close in the evenings. Book about two weeks ahead in the Puja season and we will plan a morning slot and a route around the crowded roads.
Do you need an advance to book a Ballygunge move?
No advance is needed for a normal local move. You pay as per the written quote.
Can I get a GST bill for a company or bank claim?
Yes. Every job gets a GST invoice (GSTIN 19DFAPS4734B1ZI), and we have been IBA approved since 2018, which bank employees often need for relocation claims.

What if something gets damaged?
Fragile and valuable items get foam, bubble wrap, corner guards and double-wall cartons. For high-value goods, ask us about the transit insurance option at the survey so the cover is written into your quote.
Are you open on Sundays?
Yes. We are open 24 hours, all 7 days. Sunday and month-end slots fill quickly, so book a few days ahead.
